Help Raise Funds For Liam's Drum Corp Dream
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Liam Stewart, I’m 19 years old, and I’ve been playing trumpet since 5th grade. Marching band has been a major part of my life since 8th grade — from middle school to now, where I am going to perform with my university’s marching band and currently help teach my alma mater's band.
Since 2020, it’s been a dream of mine to participate in Drum Corps — often considered the professional level of competitive marching band. Each summer, hundreds of talented musicians travel and perform across the country in massive stadiums, showcasing a show full of music and visual artistry. It’s an experience that develops discipline, endurance, leadership, and lifelong memories.
Unfortunately, the cost of participating is high — typically several thousand dollars. This covers housing, food, instruments, travel, and more. Even just auditioning and attending training camps requires fees and travel expenses. I plan to work a part-time job to help save, as the 2026 season may be one of my final chances (participants age out at 21).
Any help would mean the world to me. This activity is more than a hobby — it’s helped shape who I am, given me lifelong friendships, and made me the musician I am today. Being able to chase this dream would be a huge step in my journey, and I would be deeply grateful for your support.
