My Project

The D.R.E.O. SQUAD percussion section is a marching band drumline of 6-8th grade students that are eager to learn and push their abilities to the next level with your support!

Your support will allow more middle school students to participate in the drumline!

Students will always need drumsticks, mallets, and straps for every marching band performance. Each public performance gives our students an opportunity to network and receive exposure to collegiate programs looking to recruit and reward them with scholarships.

I look forward to giving more middle school students the HBCU marching band experiences I had before support for the fine arts diminished in Detroit.
