oswald Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Just curious, but... When I marched, my tour fees almost doubled over five years (98, 99-02), from about $400 to almost $800. So, I was just wondering what the average costs were across the board or from corps to corps. I DO know that if it weren't for: 1. Fund-raisers 2. Local Support and 3. Souvies :I wouldn't have been able to march and experience the things I did. Which begs the question: What is the going rate for the experience of a lifetime? ("For the memory of a lifetime, Recall, Recall, Recall...." - who remembers this movie? what was the author's name and the name of the short story that the movie was based upon?)

KungFuCharlie Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I remember a few years back, Bluecoats had an outstanding tour fee of $750 I'm pretty sure that's around what I paid. That doesn't include the camp fees which I think were around $20 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
