Help Send Michael and Gabriel to Oxford!

Hello! Our names are Michael and Gabriel Banda and we are 1st year undergraduate vocal performance majors at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. We are excited to announce that we are going to be attending the summer program known as Music Across the Pond. This program takes place from June 13th - 23rd at Oxford University in England. The institute offers incredible specialized training with world renowned faculty members and numerous performance opportunities for singers. It will be pivotal in advancing our young careers.

Fortunately the tuition includes room and board; however, transportation and additional expenses like meals and such is not included. We have worked hard to take care of most of the tuition, but we still need help with the rest. According to our calculations, we need an additional $6,000 - $8,000. This amount should cover our plane tickets and as well as other fees for traveling and meals.

If you feel compelled to support us financially, we would greatly appreciate any assistance! Every penny counts and would be greatly appreciated! Thank you to everyone who has been apart of our journeys and supported us to this point!
