Support My Journey to the 2026 Rose Parade

Donation protected
I am beyond excited to share that I’ve been accepted into the Band Director’s Marching Band and will be marching snare drum in the legendary 2026 Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA!

Out of hundreds of applicants and auditionees, I was chosen to join 500 talented band directors from across the country to represent music education on one of the world’s largest stages. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime honor!

However, this incredible opportunity comes with a price. The total cost of the trip is around $4,000, which covers travel, lodging, meals, uniform fees, and other expenses. As you can imagine, this is a significant investment, and I would be so grateful for your support in helping me make this dream come true!

My Goal: $4,000

I’ve created a GoFundMe to help offset the costs, and any amount, big or small, will bring me closer to Pasadena. If you can’t contribute financially, sharing my post and spreading the word would mean the world to me!

Thank you for supporting me, my passion for music, and this amazing opportunity to represent music education on such a grand stage.

Let’s make this dream a reality together!
