There was an email that went out a few days ago that the Cadets were looking to fill five spots dues to injuries. They listed the cost at between $2,700 and $3,000.

I'll tell you it was a little cheaper when I marched. But then again, everything was cheaper as I'm sure everything was cheaper for people who marched 10 or 20 years before I did.

If I recall correctly, back then I think the total cost could have been about 3K? I could be wrong though. It's been like 13 years lol...

Depends how much you need to travel to rehearsals. I think the Cadets fees are around $4000, then add travel to wherever camp is these days (PA?) however many times you have to go there. (4-5?)

BD is $2500 plus travel to rehearsal in the winter (again, 4-5 camps, I think), but they DO NOT provide food or housing until tour starts in late June, so members are on the hook for a place to live, food to eat, and transportation to and from rehearsal for however long pre-tour rehearsals last.

Heh...yeah. I lived out of the old bingo hall attic for the first 3 months in 84...then I got into an apartment with some of the other guys and ended up sharing it with about a dozen others by the time tour started. (We've all been there)

$450 tour fee?? I definitely got a good bang for the buck there (or rather, my mother did!)
