Tuition for our DCI and DCA competitive season is $500 Member Fee, $300 Fundraising Requirement, and $30 for 18+ Background Check (which members can keep). Running a drum & bugle corps is an expensive proposition but the Saints work hard to keep costs low for everyone. When you take a detailed look at the value of education, out-of-state travel, lodging, food, and more for nearly 8-9 months – it’s an incredible value (and a fraction of the cost of other summer educational programs). All members are asked to pay a flat membership fee which covers out-of state travel, education, and associated costs, and also participate in fundraisers. The complete financial cost will be outlined in detail during the open house. Currently with COVID-19 and the potential for a more adapted season with virtual learning, a combination of distanced rehearsals, and competitions.
