Goal

Returning for my second year at the Santa Clara Vanguard as the Tuba Section Leader, I’m asking for your support in raising funds for this fantastic organization.
The 2022 SCV Contra Line, my rookie year of Drum Corps—I am 2nd from the right.

Vanguard has granted me many opportunities in my career field, helped prepare me for college and my transition to adulthood, and made me a much more valuable applicant for my future career in music education. I hope that many others can also reap these same benefits, which is why your momentary donation would be very impactful to so many young people by helping continuing this wonderful experience.


This organization had directly impacted me by:

  • Massively increasing my professional network, earning my first teaching job right out of high-school.
  • Igniting my love for music and the making of it, inspiring me to pursue music education as a career.
  • Strengthening my resume and notable experience, allowing me to earn a position as a Field Technician at the University of North Texas Marching Band.
  • Helping earn my multiple scholarships at the high school and collegiate level.
  • Preparing me for college level work ethic and high level performance, encouraging me to purse a double major in both Music Education and Performance.

John Holsinger

In memory of my father, Ken Holsinger, who served in the US Air Force Band as a trombonist from 1957 to 1959, I am making this donation. His legacy and love for music continue to inspire us, especially his grandson, John August Holsinger, who is proudly leading the Tuba Section with the Santa Clara Vanguard. This donation honours my father’s memory and supports the future of young musicians like my son. Thank you for your service, Dad. Your spirit lives on through our love for music.
