Help Transform a Life Through Music - Support the Drum Corps Scholarship Fund!

 Your gift to the Drum Corps Scholarship Fund can make all the difference for Iowa youth who dream of marching with a drum and bugle corps. By helping offset the participation cost, you can break down financial barriers and open the door to life-changing opportunities for young musicians.


Your generosity directly supports these talented and dedicated performers. Every dollar brings them closer to the field, where they can experience personal growth, build lifelong skills, and create unforgettable memories.
