A27Lancer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Yikes! From 1976 through 1978 our fees were $100. We did lots of parades and exhibitions to defray costs of touring. Of course, we ate nothing but tunafish, bologna, and peanut butter. We had no weekly dues that I remember, no camp fees. I was never asked to humiliate myself by holding a can while in uniform or to sell candy door to door. Pretty good deal now that I look back on it. (In the early years, 27th's members sold eggs door to door. In Revere! Eggs!) Reveries on the other hand constantly had us fund-raising, which is kind of funny, because we were sponsored by a Catholic church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared_mello Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 wow, thats insane. i mean, im glad they havent folded or anything, and i do hope they find 135/150 members that are willing to pay that, but thats a relatively ridiculous amount of money.

Flyboy1177 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 You should be able to pay for a rookie and two vets with that kind of money! Holy Cow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownbari0613 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thats about right. My son is coming up on his third year and he gets $100.00 each year but it has gone up $100.00 each year so it's a wash! Plus camp fees are going up due to rising housing costs at schools..such is life, he better get scholarships for college or I might have to kill him after this plus $1000 to 1300 H.S. marching band dues per year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
