Hi, my name is Gabe Maceira. I'm a sophomore at Williamstown HS in Williamstown, West Virginia. In January, I auditioned for the Macy's Great American Marching Band, a band made up of top high school musicians and marchers from all 50 states and DC that marches in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Imagine my surprise and excitement when I found out I got in! However, there's one small issue: This trip is very expensive, and I need all the help I can get. Because of this, I decided to start a GoFundMe. It's set to $3000 because I need to pay for:

-Lodging in NYC for 6 nights through the travel agency provided by MGAMB

-Travel Insurance

-Food

-Round-Trip Flight Costs

-Membership Costs

-Uniform Gloves & Shoes

The first payment deadline is April 1, at $575

If you would consider helping me take advantage of this amazing opportunity, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
