Help Achieve a Dream: Support my Blue Knights 2025 Tuition!
Donation protected
Hello everyone! I have been contracted to the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, and I need your help and support!!
It has been my dream to march drum corps since high school, and this is my chance to achieve greatness and march with a World Class drum corps! This is my “age out” year, which means this is my last chance to do this activity EVER! To make this dream possible, I will need help paying my tuition, which comes out to a grand total of $6,100.
Monthly payments start now up until May 1st. These payments vary in price, the least amount per month being $1,000, that way we can make a great product by the end of the season!
In case you do not know what Drum Corps is: This activity is a summer long experience. For 3 months, I will be living with the Blue Knights in Colorado, eating the food they provide, using their facilities to shower and sleep, and will be rehearsing almost everyday of the week. I will also be going on tour with the Blue Knights to perform at several different states/locations by bus. One of these events will be Drum Corps International- World Championship Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana where we will perform on the biggest stage in the world!
So yes, DCI is expensive! But, it is for a good reason; facilities, food, transportation, instruments, uniforms, props, and the greatest experience ever!
This is an opportunity that will not only be an amazing experience for myself, but it will also help the drumming community in El Paso, Texas. Being a part of a World Class Drum Corps means that I will be able to spread my knowledge amongst a wide range of people who are also interested in music. Additionally, the drumming community here in El Paso is immensely spreading into other world class groups, which gets the word out there that El Paso drummers are the real deal!!
If you can help me get through this season, I would really appreciate it!
