ToferVis Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I don't know of any in Texas where you don't have to pay anything. Especially with gas prices the way they are. We didn't have to pay to get to football games of course, but places like San Antonio, St Louis, and Indy aren't cheap to get to. Then you add up things like entry fees, uniforms, insturment repair, copywright fees, and the drill writters and music arrangers have to get paid too... It was definitely worth it though. we did all that and it was only $250 a person.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPeg Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think the general point is that most corps are independent orginizations and are not affiliated with school systems (at least financially) so they HAVE to raise their own funds. With bands it's more a question of how much community support they recieve. I don't see how a nationally competitive high school band can go without raising money. The school district provides some, but not nearly the amount needed to cover all that I said earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPeg Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) we did all that and it was only $250 a person.... $250 maybe would have even covered our plane tickets (to Indy) Edited May 13, 2008 by JPeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BST07 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 we did all that and it was only $250 a person.... Really? South Johnston High School went to San Antonio, St louis, and indy every year for 4 years in a row? If that was the case I don't think you would be paying only 250. Otherwise you must have some incredible band boosters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you must have some incredible band boosters considering he went to the school, I'm guessing he'd know how much be paid to march. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you must have some incredible band boosters no, we did to go out of state 3 times though, Virgina, Allentown PA, Myrtle Beach, and a trip to Carowinds..i mean it's not the exact same thing, i don't really want any hostility, i was just making a statement. We did a buttload of fundrasiers...if we weren't practicing we were fundraising. Edited May 14, 2008 by ToferVis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just copy and pasted a picture of The Cadets over the UFO, and changed the text, all done on paint. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
