OTTO & EDNA NEELY FOUNDATION

For 25 unforgettable seasons, The Academy Drum and Bugle Corps has traveled thousands of miles, bringing music, precision, and passion to audiences across the country. But there’s one performer that never takes a bow — our equipment truck. It carries the instruments, uniforms, props, and everything we need to put on the show. After years of faithful service, it’s in need of major repairs or replacement. Without it, we can’t take the stage.

the campaign

We launched Encore25 to raise $50,000 to be able to purchase a lightly-used equipment (semi) truck for 2026 and beyond. Every dollar helps keep the show on the road — literally.

Your role in the encore

Your gift — whether $25, $250, or $2,500 — helps us replace our equipment semi so The Academy can continue to inspire for decades to come.

why this matters

Without a reliable semi, our instruments can’t travel, our performers can’t perform, and the music stops. This is more than a truck — it’s the lifeline of our show.
