totaleefree Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I am sure the members would be happy to pay union dues and to have a union rep with each corps making 6 figures. Then politicians would come to them before every election and promise that they will keep other musicians from performing in their territory so long as they fund their next campaign. Then they would have to make sure the corps do not perform in "right to work" states. Maybe force High school bands to unionize in closed shop states. Yup it is a great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there also exists nuance. I had a feeling that the OP had an ulterior motive to bring up politics, and it appears I wasn't wrong (though disappointed at being right).

Are you sure its an athletic scholarship ? I was always told that DIII schools can't offer athletic scholarships. The NCAA's web site (ncaa.org) says that DIII schools do not offer athletic scholarships. But that most athletes get some type of merit or "need based" financial aid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
