#WhyEncore is Encore Tours‘ latest campaign designed to highlight why music directors choose Encore to organize their band, choir, and orchestra tours. We’ll be rolling out videos on our social media channels on the topics that matter most to music directors who travel with their ensembles—safety and security, fundraising, performance venues, tour customization, personal relationships with staff, and much more! Find us on social media by clicking the icons below, and make sure to follow us so you can keep up with the newest #WhyEncore posts. We would love to hear from you, so share your stories by using the hashtag #WhyEncore and tagging us at @encoretours! Subscribe to the Backstage Blog for emails about our latest #WhyEncore posts!
