Hailey Swanson's 2022 Southwind DCI Tour Fees

Hello friends! Hailey here! As you know, I am a huge band nerd, involved in everything musical under the sun. Two years ago, I tried out for a higher level marching band called Southwind (based in Alabama), which I was contracted for on Mellophone, and set to tour and compete with them that summer. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit, and my dreams of marching in a Drum and Bugle Corps were put on hold. This year, I went back to Southwind and auditioned for Drum Major/Conductor. I was awarded a spot, along with two others. I'm crossing my fingers that nothing catastrophic happens between now and this summer because 2023 will be my last eligible year to march before I age out! I am really excited about this opportunity because I know that it will give me a lot of confidence, build my leadership skills, and allow me to build a second band family away from home. Anything is appreciated. I have already saved up all my money for my dues, but it would help so much to save some of it for next year's dues too. Thank you.
