Help Colman Perform with Crystal Lake Thunder

Hi, I'm Colman! I'm a graphic design major at Northern Illinois University. I'm also a member of NIU's Huskie Marching Band drum line. I love to play percussion and perform. As some of you know, I am also a dancer. One of the great things about being at NIU is that I am close enough to the Chicago area that I can take advantage of performing with the Crystal Lake Thunder winter drumline. This is a competitive group that practices every weekend throughout the winter in preparation for Winter Guard International competitions in the spring. (Imagine your regular marching band drumline--on steroids!) It has been an amazing opportunity to hone my skills as a percussionist, a dancer, and an overall performer. However, I need help paying the tuition and other associated fees. I am paying my own way through college, so any help you can offer in this venture would be much appreciated!
