Boston Crusaders 2023 Tuition
Donation protected
Hi Everyone! My name is Michael and I am currently a Music Composition student at Towson University.
This summer I have been contracted to be a member of The Boston Crusaders Front Ensemble and I couldn't be more excited. The Boston Crusaders are a Drum & Bugle Corps and non-profit organization that tours the country starting in mid May where we move into what we call "Spring Training" which is roughly a month of rehearsing 12 hours a day for learning and perfecting our show which we will perform starting in late June for thousands of people! We will also be competing with various other corps that all compete within the Drum Corps International circuit. Its the perfect experience that combines performance and education that you cannot get anywhere else.
Those of you that know me know that I absolutely hate asking people for money but for this I need your help. I was luckily able to pay for my last summers tuition with The Cadets but with trying to pay for school, my tuition for George Mason University Indoor Percussion Ensemble, and living expenses, I simply cannot fund this all by myself with the help of my parents. My tuition for this summer is $5400 not including various other fees and flights to camps during the winter and spring training.
Music and more specifically the marching arts has changed my life and I cant imagine doing anything different in my life. It so much more than "Band on a field". Drum Corps teaches you so much more than how to play an instrument at the highest level, it teaches you life long skills and work ethic. Thank you so much for reading this message and of course your generosity, TRULY any little bit helps!
