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.

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.

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

The annual fee in my first jr. corps was $13.00. That's twenty-five cents a week. Of course that was a l o n g time ago. :P
