NEW FOR 2010:
All-Inclusive Season Dues and Tour Fees - ALL Fees for the winter and spring camps and summer tour are covered within your monthly payment for the 2010 season.
Members may also decrease their dues by $50.00 if their parent or parents volunteer to work an entire camp weekend (limited to one camp per member) or $100 if parent works 1 full week of spring training or summer tour. Parents must stay on-site and be active within the VolunTeal program for the weekend or summer.
Membership in the Teal Sound Drum & Bugle Corps represents a financial obligation that must be upheld in order to insure the success and future of the corps. Due to the costs of Fuel, Food, Transportation and Housing, we must evaluate our program each year and adjust the membership dues accordingly. The management of the Teal Sound Drum & Bugle Corps will make every effort to see that each one of you are able to obtain the above financial responsibilities and that each of you are successful in reaching your goal.
Anyone unable to attend a camp will still be held responsible for all dues to be paid by that camp date. Failure to pay, without management approval, will result in a possible loss of spot and a 1% interest charge applied. All dues and fees must be paid no later than June 5, 2010.
Scholarships
Each year there are a limited number (10) of Work Scholarships available to those with Financial Hardships. These scholarships must be applied for at the beginning of the season along with a letter of recommendation from your band director, financial documentation showing hardship, and a 2 page essay on why you should be a member of Teal Sound and what it will mean to you. All applicants must have their information turned in by the January 2009 camp.
