Hi, I’m Esteban Gomez, and I’m a rising Junior at Edwardsville High School. Recently, I was offered a contract to march with the 2025 Seattle Cascades Drum and Bugle Corps, a significant step in my musical career. However, an accomplishment like this comes with a cost. My tuition to march with the Cascades is $2,500, which covers housing, meals, travel, equipment for the summer season, and more.

Even though it has been a dream of mine to march World Class drum corps, that cost is simply too high for someone in my current financial position to take on. I would be incredibly grateful if any of you were interested in helping me experience this life-changing opportunity through the marching arts. Every dollar counts, any amount would be greatly appreciated.
