Cassie's Path to Spain and Beyond

This upcoming May of 2025, I am excited to become Dr. Cassie McDonald! I am looking for supporters to help me make the transition from full-time student to full-fledged professional.

I was invited to perform with the world-class Athena Brass Band at the International Tuba Euphonium Association Conference in Valencia, Spain! This is a huge honor for me and a thrilling challenge to serve as principal solo cornet. This is my first goal.

Goal number two is to gain support in taking professional orchestral auditions. There are a few in April, May, and June that I hope to take, but with the costs of living being as they are, additional airfare and lodging funds are difficult to come by, and it will be impossible to take them without support.

I'm not looking for free donations (unless you feel so inclined); instead, I'm hoping to have an exchange of services, similar to Cameo, PLUS you could be the lucky owner of a smashed trumpet!

$1000 donation = A full hour live recital with music of YOUR choice, in person or on Zoom, depending on your location.

$500 donation = An hour recorded recital curated just for you, with music of my choice.

$250 donation = One song of your choice recorded for you, and I will do detailed makeup as your favorite character!

$150 donation = One hour lesson for you or a person of your choice, in person or on Zoom.

$100+ donation = You could win the smashed trumpet from my upcoming recital (April 13, 2025).

$90 donation = One 30 minute lesson for your or a person of your choice, in person or on Zoom.

$50 donation = 60 second video from me with personal greeting from me, playing something you request!
