Why This Matters

This year's fellowship recipients, Ray Fujiwara (Japan – The Bluecoats) and Omari Holaki (Canada – Carolina Crown), are living proof of Gail’s enduring impact.

Thank You for Marching Forth!

Every donation—no matter how small—makes a difference in shaping the future of the marching arts. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped us honor Gail Schultz’s legacy. Together, we’re ensuring that passionate performers from around the world have the opportunity to take the field and live their dreams.
