Hi everyone! My daughter Kinley is a freshman in high school and has been playing the flute since 6th grade. This is her first year of marching band, with Allen High School; THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE LAND!

They were invited to perform in The Tournament of Roses Parade in California Jan. 1 2026. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, as only 20ish bands from around the world are invited each year. They will get to march in the televised parade and through the Disney parks!

Kinley has worked very hard and passionately to stay in band and truly gives it her all in practices, performances, and at school. Her grades are wonderful and she is a hard worker in anything she does. She is very dedicated and is hoping to land her first job this summer in order to help raise funds to send to her The Tournament of Roses.

If you or anyone you know would like to donate and help sponsor Kinley’s once in a lifetime trip, you can donate here. There are no expectations! Anything helps our girl! Thank you and let’s wish our flutist some luck! :)
