[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is eligible for marching band next year and I got the school cash online email saying fee pay is available. Holy cow its expensive! Over $400! Does the football team also have to pay $400 for uniforms and participation? [/quote] Does the $600 include instruments? My kids school required students buy instruments for band class, and the rental on these is over $200 a year. Full price purchase is around $500. [/quote] Umm you can get used instruments on facebook marketplace and then just buy new mouthpieces. As someone who did marching band, I don't think this is outrageous. Buses are expensive and so are those ugly wool uniforms. I don't think food or dinners should be included because some kids could bring their own meals. I just signed my kid up for soccer and it was $250, no transportation and I have to coach. [/quote] Thats a ripoff.[/quote]
