Hello, my name is Tayleen González, and I am a senior at Robert Vela High School. I currently play the clarinet and just ended our fall season as this year's clarinet soloist and section leader.

I am currently in the process of trying out for drum corps, which is the next step in the marching arts. I plan on auditioning for Music City Drum and Bugle Corps in Nashville, Tennessee, but the costs of only auditioning are very high, with the travel fees being over $1,000 and registry at $150.

It would mean a lot to me and my family if you were able to help support me in this journey and passion of mine to continue the marching arts.
