About US
The Kansas City Marching Falcons was founded by Shakina Dawkins. The drill team is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and looking to offer an After school of the Arts program, where members can come to learn about the Arts as well as to receive tutoring services if needed. Over the years the K.C. Falcons has won many awards, traveled around the country, performed for numerous events, parades, festivals, and accomplished many goals. The team does various community service projects throughout the year, and consists of over 100 members from all around the Kansas City, Mo and Kansas areas.
Our MissioN
To provide drill team members the opportunity to travel and participate in performances (i.e. competitions, parades, and showdowns), with an emphasis in teaching leadership and good sportsmanship skills amongst peers, and to also prepare them for further education as well as the workforce.
Our Core Goals
To continuously provide inner city youth with a positive alternative to violence, drugs, and other activities that could hinder their growth into responsible adults. Also, to provide the means by which our community members can participate in self-enhancing activities and to make positive changes in their lives. This is also an opportunity for adults to be positive role models, and to equip the drill team members with leadership skills and conflict resolution strategies.
