Why Should You Advertise with Halftime Magazine?

1. Unique, Dedicated Audience

More than 3 million high school and college students participate in band and orchestral programs.

  • They practice six or more hours per week.
  • Approximately 27% of college participants are music majors. Many become band directors, expanding your sphere of influence.
  • Eight out of 10 teenagers read magazines, and marching band students have extra reading time — on the bus while traveling to competitions and games.
  • With Halftime MagazineTM, You will have the opportunity to reach these students directly, offering specially tailored promotions. No other magazine reaches the entire universe of musician-athletes, encompassing high school, college and professional bands throughout the country. In time, you will be able to learn more about this segment through targeted research.

2. Unique Content

Because Halftime Magazine targets students instead of directors, Halftime can discuss music both inside and outside of the school environment. Editorial coverage extends to unique musical opportunities at summer symposiums, honor bands and internships.

3. Visual Appeal

Halftime Magazine will be a glossy, four-color print publication featuring vivid photography and images that highlight the visual aspects of the marching arts. In keeping with this goal, Halftime offers you free color and free bleed for your advertisements.

4. Social Mission

Halftime Magazine supports music education through editorial content and financial commitments. Halftime is proud to be an official sponsor of the 2007 Drum Corps International World Championships. In addition, a portion of sales will be donated to band programs across the country. You can join the effort by supporting this worthy endeavor through advertisements and sponsorships of Halftime’s donation efforts.

5. Special Launch Prices

Halftime Magazine offers competitive pricing. With special launch promotions, you can lock in low rates. Circulation numbers will continue to grow throughout the first year — and you will not incur any extra charges for reaching these new customers.
