danielray Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 you 'intrigue' me. First time I have heard that from someone before fingerprinting... or stealing my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 or they could just not spend the $50/week and then when the whole thing is due, they have the same amount of money as if they were paying all along. LOL--that would be true, if the typical teenager/college student had the financial self-discipline to not spend the $$ on other things like downloads, iphones, or video games....I think the point of the budget plan is simply to make it easier for the corps members to allocate their funds throughout the entire year, and it is just an option, after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use an emoticon in my post; hope I didn't come off as mean. we, as a country, definitely have terrible personal finance skills/habits. It is a good deal that they can start paying early, if they are the type to blow through any cash they have sitting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingfred Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) If this is the Solo It would be So cool! They start by singing the corps song, them transition into this jazzy chart! The solo has been to the interwebz! Edited April 25, 2012 by boxingfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Boston's fee is $2450 for 2012, with discounts available both for early prepay and returning vets. Also, and I really like this one, BAC offers kids the chance to simply pay $200 a month for 12 months beginning in September..(and yes, the member does get a prorated refund if he or she gets cut along the way). This $200 a month ends up being less than $50 a week, which is much more manageable for many members. I think there is also a camp fee of $85 for each of the winter camps. Their website does mention a $75/camp fee. There is an $80 application fee (less for vets), a $100 California move-in fee and an equipment fee not to exceed $100. It does add up!

MikeD Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Sir I think that you are forgetting that it wasn't the kids decision to add the voices to the '07 show. With all due respect, I'd take you for one of those fans who only payed attention to the voices and ignored the phenomenal marching and playing going on underneath. But they were the ones being booed, which was Glory's point about the irony in this thread. Personally, I loved the 07 Cadet's show, start to finish, voices and everything else.

corpsband Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If this was the Solo It would be So cool! They start by singing the corps song, them transition into this jazzy chart! Agree -- it would be very cool. And there's nothing that says 12.25 more than "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cixelsyd Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 When did drum corps become the third-grade little league where everyone gets a turn at pitcher? It certainly wasn't that way back in the day. I remember one Blue Devils solo screamer a couple of decades back. BD had plucked him out of the Freelancer line. He was unapologetic about changing uniforms. They're paying my way, he said. I don't know whether any BD sops were offended by his presence. Either way, I'd bet they were impressed with his playing. We all were. How many great solos would have been just mediocre had all those corps just settled for who showed up? The irony here (there's always irony in Cadets' threads) is now we're sensitive to feelings of Cadet kids. The irony here is that while you applaud the Blue Devils, you fail to even mention that the Freelancers had designed their 1993 show with even more great solos to showcase this talented player.
