Help Raph's Drumming Dreams Take Flight to the USA

Meet Raph, a 13-year-old musical prodigy with a passion for the rhythm that beats in his heart and echoes through his drumsticks.

Recently, Raph auditioned for the opportunity of a lifetime – to be the drummer for School of Rock Perth’s USA Tour Band! Against fierce competition, his talent and dedication stood out, and he earned the position as the one and only drummer and youngest member of the tour band!

He joins a talented group of 13 to 18-year-olds in a musical adventure that promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, performing nine shows over two weeks in July 2024. The tour will take Raph across the eastern USA, from New York to Pennsylvania, Ohio, through to Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and Philadelphia.

As he prepares for this tour, aside from the many hours every week he dedicates to practicing, Raph needs to raise funds to cover the costs associated with this musical expedition.

The total cost of the tour is $10,500, which includes flights, the tour bus, accommodation, meals, rehearsals while on tour, and travel insurance. We believe that Raph's talent deserves a stage as vast as his dreams, and we are reaching out to you to help make this possible.

Your support will not only contribute to Raph's musical journey but will also be an investment in the arts and the bright future of a young, passionate drummer. Every dollar brings Raph closer to his dream of captivating audiences with his drumming, and we invite you to be a part of this extraordinary adventure.
