amount of $500.00 to five students who have marching and music experience.
These scholarships cover marching fees for the year and part of
your tour levy, which includes all meals, activities and accommodations
for the tour. Your cost

marching season begins with band camp on Sept 21, 22, 23 at Camp Easter

Camp fees are included in your $300 marching fees, or are $100 if
you are not registered in the marching program.
