About The Marching Elite Foundation
Maryland's Premier Youth Marching Arts Organization
The Marching Elite Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing quality educational opportunities for youth and young adults in the marching arts. These opportunities occur in a safe setting which promotes the social and artistic development of participants through creative programs, designed with the highest possible quality of leadership and instruction.
The marching activity has been described as a rare combination of musical entertainment, physical activity, competition, social opportunities, travel, and fun. It is about learning, coping, and growing.
Established exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, we strengthen under-resourced communities in the state of Maryland using music and arts as a vehicle to create positive change.
