Hi everyone!

My name is Emily, and I am incredibly excited to announce that I have been officially contracted as the xylophone player for the 2026 Santa Clara Vanguard (SCV)!

For the 2026 season alone, the tuition and travel fees are substantial.

This is my second year with Vanguard, and I still have several years of eligibility remaining before I "age out" in 2029. These costs add up quickly over a full marching career; regardless, my goal is to march every single one of those seasons.

I am humbly asking for your support to help me make this extraordinary opportunity a reality. Your donation will directly contribute to my 2026 season fees, easing the financial burden on me and my family.

Every single contribution, no matter the size, helps me get one step closer to experiencing the best summers of my life.

Thank you for being a part of my musical journey. Your support allows me to focus on practicing, learning, and performing at the highest level possible.

With gratitude,

Emily O’Neill
