Hello! My name is Lizzy, and I'm from McKinney, Texas! I'm currently a senior in high school and a seven year member and three time captain of the award winning McKinney North band and color guard program. Throughout my seven years in this activity, my passion for spinning and performing has grown immensely, so much so that I want to continue in this art for as long as possible!

In 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to spin and tour with the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, following in the footsteps of my dad, who marched with them in 1998. This experience changed who I am as both a person and a performer. I never expected to fall so deeply in love with spending my summer at drum corps, but when the season ended, I found myself yearning to go back.

After a summer off, I decided to take a risk and audition for my dream drum corps: The Bluecoats. Even before I truly understood what marching drum corps meant, I had always dreamed of being a Bluecoat. Mesmerized by their style, talent, and passion, I knew I needed to be part of that legacy.

I'm thrilled to share that I've been offered a contract to march with The Bluecoats in 2026 as a member of the color guard!

The season is quickly approaching, and while my excitement grows every day, the tuition for this summer is nearly $7,000.

To make this dream a reality, I need your support. Balancing my responsibilities as a student, captain, and performer while trying to raise this amount has been challenging, and every contribution brings me one step closer to leaving for Ohio to start living out my dream.

Any and all donations are extremely appreciated, as well as sharing this page! Your support means everything to me, and I am really looking forward to this new journey!

Thank you for helping me make this dream come true!
