Support Ryan's Journey: STS Bass Trombone Competition

Hello! My name is Ryan Parichuk, and I am a second-year undergraduate student at the Manhattan School of Music, studying Classical Bass Trombone Performance. I am starting this fundraiser because I was recently selected as an in-person bass trombone excerpt competition participant at the Southeast Trombone Symposium in Columbus, Georgia. Being a contestant in this competition has been one of my biggest goals since high school. Not only is competing and participating in this symposium a dream of mine, but it is a chance to feel welcomed in the trombone community; I would have the opportunity to meet so many great people and top professionals in my future field of work. I am very kindly asking for a little bit of help to achieve this dream of mine and to continue my musical journey. It would be disheartening to miss this opportunity due to not being able to afford it.
