Hello! My name is Sid Srivenkatesh, a drummer and full-time student at Appalachian State University in NC. Recently, I have been offered a contract with a world class drum corps based in New Hampshire - the Spartans.

While performing and competing at the highest level of the marching arts has been a dream of mine since high school, participation comes at an extremely high cost. My dues for the season are currently expected to be around $7,500, which will cover transportation to rehearsal camps in the spring, instruction, housing, food, and other expenses associated with our tour during the summer. Although I am currently working a part time job, I am also still a full-time student that participates in indoor percussion on the weekends, which is why I have resorted to fundraising.

In addition, due to the nature of drum corps and the marching arts being a youth activity, this is my last eligible year to participate. Any amount donated towards helping me achieve my dream would be greatly appreciated, and would mean an immense amount to me!
