Our tuition is very simple and straight forward. There is a tuition fee of $1500. What this money goes toward is the cost of instruments, uniforms (except for shoes), rehearsal facilities, paying designers or instructors as needed, gas for the trucks, truck maintenance and repairs, and any additional expenses related to the logistics of the ensemble.
Returning members with 1-year experience will get a $250 discount on the tuition fee! 2-year veterans will receive a discount of $500! It pays to come back!
There will be a few additional expenses, shoes, gloves for cymbals, stick tape, things of that nature.
We do a payment schedule, $250 is due up front (after auditions) because we need that money fast so we can have show supplies in time. The tuition can be paid in monthly installments or all at once, whatever is easiest for you.
Total is $1500
…just one other thing!
We will provide sticks and mallets, but it is required that everyone has their own sticks as well. The front ensemble is expected to have concert snare sticks and the battery are all expected to have marching snare sticks (or shorty tenor sticks). There are times when we will all pad it up, or be asked to do video assignments with practice pads and sticks. Food is up to you to either bring money to rehearsals or pack. Sometimes the leaders in the membership will organize group pizza orders and things like that.
That’s it!
