We're reaching out today to ask for your support of the CAPE 2025-2026 competition season.

As you may know, marching band is an incredibly demanding and rewarding activity, combining dance, theater and athleticism, all while playing an instrument and memorizing our position on the field. It provides young performers with invaluable opportunities for personal growth, teamwork, and artistic expression. Our team has diligently prepared for the upcoming season, investing countless hours in perfecting their show and honing their skills.

However, as with any competitive endeavor, participation in the Cleveland Arts Performance Ensemble (also known as CAPE) comes with financial challenges. From uniforms and equipment to travel expenses and competition fees, the costs associated with our season quickly add up.

That's why we're reaching out to you for support. 99% of your contribution will go directly towards covering essential expenses (1% goes to our General Fund) such as:

Uniforms and costumes
Equipment maintenance and replacement
Transportation to and from competitions
Entry fees and registration costs
Instructional resources and coaching fees

We're so grateful for any contribution you can make, whether monetary or in-kind. No donation is too small, and every bit of support helps bring us closer to our goals. Thank you!
