Help Carissa Achieve Her Marching Dream

Hi guys! My name is Carissa and I am currently a senior in high school. I just got contracted to perform with Gold Drum and Bugle Corps for my rookie season, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Drum and Bugle Corps are elite marching ensembles that combine music, athleticism, and artistry into outstanding performances. Think of it as the NFL of marching arts, where young, talented musicians and performers dedicate their summers to creating unforgettable shows. These groups not only entertain but also teach discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills that last a lifetime. Supporting someone like me in conducting Gold DBC helps fuel these experiences, fund the corps' travel and operations, and ensure that this incredible art form continues to inspire audiences and transform lives. Your donation isn’t just helping me… it’s an investment in music, education, and the next generation of performers.

Being part of DCI, especially with Gold, has been a dream I’ve held close to my heart for years, and the thought of experiencing the summer of a lifetime feels like a dream about to come true. The marching arts are so much more than just performances; they’re about community, growth, and passion. None of this is possible without the support of others, and I would be deeply grateful if you would consider helping me take this step toward fulfilling my dreams. Your generosity would mean the world to me and would make this incredible journey possible. Thank you for your consideration and see you this summer!
