Support Angelo's Rose Bowl Parade Dream

My name is Angelo Kortyka and I am a music educator in Northeast Ohio. I recently was given the opportunity to march with the Band Directors Marching Band as a part of the 2026 Rose Bowl Parade and would absolutely love to take part in this once in a lifetime experience.

The experience is a part of the Rose Bowl festivities and a bit more expensive than just a trip to watch the Rose Bowl Parade. I am hoping that I can count on the generosity of others to help me get there as this is a bit out of our budget for the year!

I would be honored to march in this parade on behalf of any of my students, current and former, who may never get the opportunity to do so themselves.

Any support is greatly appreciated. Funds will be used to pay for the cost of the travel package (hotel plus itinerary)
