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.

We are proud to announce the six  recipients of our 2025 drum corps scholarships!

Recipients were chosen based on financial need, essay responses, and reference recommendations. Preference was given to applicants who are attending or have attended a secondary school or college in Iowa.

Proceeds from the Tournament of Drums DCI Open Class competition, along with contributions from generous donors allowed us to award $5,000 in scholarships.
