My Freshman year of High School I got the chance to watch our up and coming drum line perform for a school pep rally and I automatically knew that I needed to be a part of it. Being a very wind-centric player, I also knew that learning percussion would come a long way in my journey to becoming a music educator. Little did I know how much Front Ensemble would become my true calling. I have grown so much as a percussionist, performer, and overall musician. I am proud to share that I have earned the opportunity to march with a Top 12 World Class Drum Corps: The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps.  With a rich history rooted in Allentown, PA, marching with The Cadets will be the chance of a lifetime and truly a dream come true, as this is my last year eligible to march in World Class DCI.  Attached is a link to the 2019 Production.

This dream does however, come at a cost. While on tour this summer, the Corps will provide food and lodging, equipment, as well as transportation from venue to venue and educational feedback from World Class instructors. All while keeping the safety of their members as the utmost priority. These funds add up to around $4000 and while I am capable of paying some of the tuition, I am unable to cover the full amount and would love your assistance. 

I would truly like to thank all past and previous instructors of mine. Without your constant faith in me as well as dedication to your own craft, I would not be in the positions I am today.  I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for reading this far and any potential donations.
