I am incredibly grateful for the support from Marching Arts Give Back that made it possible for me to spend the summer with such an amazing team. I hope that many more performers will be able to experience an unforgettable summer like this in the future.

I am extremely grateful to Marching Arts Give Back for supporting my second summer with The Blue Devils. As a full time student, the financial pressure to save or fundraise for my summer of Drum Corps was/is difficult. With the help of Marching Arts Give Back, I was able to grow and thrive as a performer without worrying about how I would afford my summer.

I am incredibly thankful to be a recipient of the 2024 Marching Arts Give Back Scholarship! I was fortunate to have performed as an Age-Out with the Santa Clara Vanguard, and this organization has helped me to ease the financial burden that often comes with participating in such an elite program that embodies excellence. This award ultimately made my dreams become a reality and further my passion for the marching arts.

I am so grateful for the scholarship opportunity!

This scholarship allowed me to live out my dreams and be apart of something bigger than myself!

Without my scholarship, I wouldn't have been able to march last summer. The Mandarins means so much to me, and I'm so lucky I got to compete for another year.
