Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Indiana State University Marching Sycamores is one of the largest and most diverse organizations at Indiana State University. The ensemble is made up of students representing over 30 majors, with an almost even split between music and non-music majors. All of these students donate their time in support of creating a positive culture in the university and the community abroad. Our goal in fundraising is to provide student support for members participating in the Marching Sycamores by supporting the Don Dudine Marching Sycamore Scholarship Fund.
Since in 2022, the Don Dudine Marching Sycamores Scholarship Fund has provided members of the ensemble that are not music majors with financial assistance as an incentive to continue to participate. Created by Marching Sycamore alum Don Dudine (BME'67), the scholarship is a representation of the importance of non-music major participation in a collegiate marching band.
"We hope that with your donation we can continue to provide financial assistance for these students that dedicate their time while balancing the unique demands of a major outside of the School of Music." - Dr. Rodriguez, Director of Athletic Bands
