Alyssa Leon, Louisiana Stars (DCI)

As many of you might know, I've been really involved in band for the majority of my life. This summer I received a contract to march in an open class drum corps, and have been chosen to be the percussion captain. I have marched with this organization previously in 2019, and it had such a positive impact on me as a person, and as a musician that I decided to return for another season. Having this experience has and will improve not only my own skills but my ability to teach others as well. I have taught at 2 local high schools, and I owe all of my respect to the staff at Louisiana Stars for giving me the knowledge to make that possible. I plan to continue teaching in the future as a side job, and having this season's experience will greatly affect my teaching abilities. The fee is set at $2,700, and my goal is $3,000 to cover any extra expenses I may come across. That being clothes, equipment, and other things I will need throughout the summer.

To give a bit of background information, I marched in CLHS drumline all 4 years of high school indoor and outdoor. Band has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve competed in many areas of the country through high school and DCI. There is nothing that gives me more joy than being a part of this organization.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.
