Help River March with Gold Drum Corps This Summer!

Help River March with Gold Drum Corps This Summer!

We are Daniel and Celeste Smith, and we’re reaching out to ask for your support in making our son River’s dream a reality.

River, who is just 15 years old, has dedicated countless hours practicing the mellophone, and his hard work has paid off—he successfully auditioned for the Gold Youth Arts Organization and was selected to join their elite 2025 Drum Corps International (DCI) season!

This summer, River will spend over 80 days fully immersed in music, discipline, and performance, touring the country with Gold. He’ll perform at legendary venues like the Rose Bowl, Stanford Stadium, and Lucas Oil Stadium, bringing his passion for music to tens of thousands of spectators across 24 cities.

This is an incredible opportunity, but it comes with significant costs, including transportation, housing, meals, equipment, and professional instruction.

We are asking for your help to support River take the first step in his lifelong music journey. Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring him closer to sharing the gift of music that God has placed in his heart.

We are so proud of River—his talent, dedication, and spirit—and we are deeply grateful for your love, prayers, and support.

Please consider donating to help River take the field with Gold this summer!

Thank you for believing in him!
