Alex's Drum Corps Int. Summer Tour
Donation protected
Hello all! My name is Alex Mast, First I would like to thank you all for the support you give me, if you are on this page you have impacted my life in some way. I have recently been contracted to march this summer with the Legends DBC Cymbal Line for their 2016 season. This opportunity is huge and I am so excited to be a part of it. But with this opportunity comes great responsibly and planning.
What Exactly is Legends?
Legends is a Drum and Bugle Corps apart of a circuit called Drum Corps International. With all these fancy words it can get confusing. Alright so you know high school marching band? it is basically that X10. You can compare it to the NFL circuit for football. DCI is the "Major League" of marching band.
Here is a video explaining what DCI is in more detail if you are still a little confused or want to know more about this amazing organization:
So What Do You Do Alex?
Here is a rundown of what my season is going to look like. My season begins early June where I move-in with the corps, I will pack all my belongings, say "see you soon" to my friends and family back home and move into a host school where we will start with spring training getting in shape for the season. During this time we will clean a 10min show of marching and music on a football field. Late June starts our DCI Summer Tour. We will pack our belongings and board the charter buses and go wheels up for the remainder of the summer. From here we travel around the United States preforming our show striving for the top spot in DCI Open Class. Here is a link to all the States will be preforming in and when: Legends 2016 Tour
Here is also a video of what my role is in the Corps:
Part 2:
What Can I Do?
With all this traveling and preforming requires funds to operate. So I am reaching out for any size donation to help me pay the $3500 tuition price due June 1st for the summer. The funds you provide will go for my food, housing, transportation, performance fees, practice clothing, and any other operation costs.
Thank you again for all the support you give me in my musical journey, again any donation size will really impact and help me fundraise the amount for the summer.
Also please watch for other fundraisers hosted by me for a chance to support my DCI experience. Please also share this on your facebook, Twitter, Etc.
Best wishes,
Alex Mast
