To get started, all students are required to participate in an audition process. There will be a $100 non-refundable registration fee that must be paid no later than the first audition/camp attended (fee waived for returning members). Member's tuition and fees account for a small percentage of the total cost needed to operate the corps. Some exact costs are still being finalized, but the following list outlines an estimate of what you can expect.
REGISTRATION FEE: $100
*Fee is waived for returning members. You will only receive the audition material once the registration is submitted and paid in full
CAMP FEE: $100
*There will be a camp fee for each of the first four (4) camps attended (all additional camps attended after four are FREE!).
PARTICIPATION FEE / TUITION: $1900
*There is a minimum scheduled payment plan (list below) or an option for early payment with discount before January 15, 2010.
UNIFORM FEE: $200
*This fee includes certain components (plumes, unitards, shoes, gloves…etc) of the uniform, which the member will keep at season end.
SPRING TRAINING FEE: $300
*Includes housing and meals
WARNING – Full tuition is due upon being offered a position in the corps. The below mandatory payment plan must be followed as a minimum to be considered for a spot. A one-camp grace period (with valid reason) is all that will be allowed for non-payment of tuition and fees. Tuition and fees are non-refundable (which includes being released from the corps for disciplinary or medical reasons). The only exceptions are (1) the first tuition payment (if paid on time) will be refunded if you make your request within 10 days of payment, and (2) if it is determined that there is no position available for you in this year's corps.
*Failure to pay fees owed, or abuse of the grace period will be grounds for release from the corps.
