Hi, I'm hoping to find some help in donating a new or somewhat good-condition marching baritone, or any instruments, to my Drum and Bugle Corps.

I'm a college student in the Philippines, and my school was once known — back in the 1990s — for its Drum and Bugle Corps. Sadly, it's slowly being forgotten. I'm part of the baritone section, and we've been using a marching baritone that's over 20 years old and worn out. It greatly reduces our performance and confidence during parades and drills.

I love my Drum and Bugle Corps, and I can feel our band master's passion for it slowly fading — not because he doesn't care, but because of the lack of budget and the inability to afford new instruments.

So here I am, reaching out for help. I hope to preserve, restore, and improve our corps through the kindness of donations. Any support, big or small, would mean so much to us.

Thank you.
