Help Vicente Achieve His DCI Dream

Hello everyone!

My name is Vicente De Guzman and am currently a member of The 2025 Academy Drum and Bugle Corps. This would be my first year marching DCI which would be a life changing experience for me as this would teach me many life lessons through rigorous training over the summer.

DCI in a nutshell is pretty much "high-level marching" and includes the performance of a show from each Corps participating in it. All corps train rigorously in the summer to tour around the nation and perform these marching shows. The shows include marching and playing, dance choreography, and many more physically enduring activities during the shows and training.

Unfortunately the costs of attending DCI are very significant and usually cost over $5500 for each person depending on the Corps. I will need at least $5850 just for the tuition fee itself and does not cover the free days and travel expenses. My options for paying this off are limited as I have to worry about other financial costs in my life. Any donation is very much appreciated and even if there was no donation, you have my gratitude for reading this.

Mahalo, Vicente De Guzman
