thatonekid Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Madison did have a sliding fee scale based on years marched. It was the policy in the mid-1990's. I don't know how many years before or after that the policy was in effect. Someone else may know the years and what the current practice is. That was gotten rid of in 2003. I know Jesse Cook, one of the lead sops and march for forever, only paid like $50 in 2002, but come 2003 had to pay whatever it was then. 1500? I dunno. But, Jeff Spanos and crew have brought it back, and its even shown on the website how much you pay for however many years you march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphaba01 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have nothing to add except that I agree with what everyone has already said before me. "Veterans Preferance": Bump. Elphaba WWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 03..dues were a little over $950...soo cheap, compared to now. The declining vet fee was brought back in 2005, I remember being stoked about paying 200 bucks less since I was a 3yr member.

SACMellos2010 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Our system was a little different but I thought it was great. Each year you marched your salary for marching went up by 10%.....oh wait that was all funny rumors that circulated just kidding I do think vets should get a break on their dues for all the reasons stated above. Vets are what make the difference in a corp being good or being great. It does not matter how good a player and marcher someone is and even if they came with corps experience it takes some time to adapt to a new system. It is much the same for athletes going into a new system. SO why not encourage and reward members to come back. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the website, Madison's dues for 2008 are: 1st year - 2000 2nd year - 1800 3rd year - 1600 4th year - 1550 5th year - 1500 6th year - 1450 7th year - 1400 http://www.madisonscouts.org/Audition%20FAQs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPound Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) I saw first year for madison was $2000 and thought that was high. But I checked out the website and that covers everything but getting there. I hate it when other corps aren't up front with all the costs. Your dues might be $1300 but you have this fee and that fee. Come on, give it to me straight. Go Madison! edited for clarification & spelling Edited October 3, 2007 by McPound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared_mello Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) yeah...as years marched and time/money put into the corps increases, it makes sense for these sacrifces to be accounted for, relatively to the rookies marching their first season.

DrillmanSop06 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Vets should pay the same amount because vets do evil things to rooks. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
