Other Initiatives
In 2009 Parachute Music extended its Events wider with:
- The Parachute Roadshow. This tour stopped in 11 cities around New Zealand from September - October, with Parachute Band, Rapture Ruckus, and Juliagrace performing.
- Noise training events for musicians. Parachute Music ran seven regionalised training events for musicians around the country, running workshops with both Planetshakers Worship Leader Henry Seeley and mainstream industry types.
Parachute Music also partners with a World Vision community in Rwanda, called Tubehoneza. To date, $265,000 has been raised for the Area Development Programme, and over 1,650 children have been sponsored by Parachute Festival attendees.

Famous quotes containing the word initiatives:
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
