Alicia is an Honor Student, with a 4.275 GPA, ranking in the Top 25% of her Class, and has been singing and playing percussion since 5 years old. As an 8th Grader, she won the 2024 State Championship with her Middle School Indoor Percussion Team in the Texas Color Guard Circuit, and as a 10th Grader, she was selected to the Texas All-Regional Choir as an Alto.

This opportunity will afford her the experience to compete on a National level, allow her to grow as a musician, represent her school, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Her ultimate goal is to obtain a scholarship and join the Southern University Human Jukebox and Jazz Band, after graduation Class of 2028.

We are working to raise $5,818. 00 to help cover her travel, lodging, meals, and trip-related expenses.
