I've discussed this with my parents a little, basically they see DCI like joining the Circus, except it's ridiculously expensive and evidently sets you back in life. They are not willing to help pay for anything, if I want to march I have to pay for it myself.
I just wanted to ask what financial assistance is available out there, like are there scholarships for DCI or something? How is a kid under 21 supposed to pay for Drum Corps without their parents helping?
