NOT WHAT WE DO
The Youth Against Violence Organization Marching Arts Academy services youth who are in grades 3rd - 12th grades and who live in the cities of Rockford, IL and Beloit. Wisconsin
Believe it or not our favorite part of what we do is seeing the youth come in not knowing what to expect and struggling as they learn to deal with day-to-day issues through our Artistic Expressive Trainings.
Our Journey
We are so grateful to be in the place that we are in with the organization. We have overcome lots of ups and downs and through perseverance we have proven ourselves to be trustworthy and a positive solution to the community's issues concerning the youth.
Even the smallest of our fans are the younger siblings of our junior corps drummers. Chance has been following his sister Rhiley since the day he was born, to her practices and along the numerous parade routes. Watching and listening to corps director Thomas Parker is wearing off. Chance is only 5 and in kindergarten but one of the perks of having a sister on the team, is he gets to participate and get a few one on ones with Mr. Parker.
YAVO Marching Arts Academy will be operating on three different levels in 2023. Now more youth can experience the thrills and drills of drum corps by signing up at one of our three locations.
Our services have extended to servicing the students at McNeel in Beloit, WI. YAVO Corps directors teach Marching Arts to the 5th - 8th grade band students Monday - Friday and beginning November 7th, we will offer after-school opportunities to the 4th graders and non-band students who are curious about marching arts.
