Help Joe Pesco March DCI!

Hello, My name is Joseph Pesco Jr, and I am a Senior at Division Avenue High School. I've been heavily involved in music for around 8 years. I have also been in the Marching Arts participating for about 5 years with the Division Avenue Competetive Marching Band. Without Marching Band, I would not be the person I am today. This art has taught me many valuable life lessons such as Leadership Roles, Adaptability and Responsiveness. I can take these lessons anywhere I go for the rest of my life. Ever since I started the Marching Arts I knew that this was my home!

Recently, I have been accepted into The Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corp, which competes in the Drum Corps International (DCI) World Class Circuit. However, marching a finalist corps is expensive. Madison Scouts are known to be one of the best corps when it comes to the overall experience while still being relatively affordable however; the price of tuition is 5,000 dollars. We can all agree that is a lot of money. And to be frank, saving for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has been extremely difficult due to my father's recent death. Around a year ago my Father passed away due to Covid-19 and it has been extremely difficult to live. This money would extremely ease my mom and I's the financial situation, especially since college is right around the corner!

Anything that is donated is deeply appreciated. Every dollar counts! These are a few reasons why I need your help. If you can't donate, that is okay. All you have to do is share this with your friends and family! Thank you so much for reading my story and I appreciate your support in my DCI journey! Attached below are the Madison Scouts 2022 and 2013 productions which are Installation 85 and Corps of Brothers!
