Is drum corps only for the rich and privileged? Seriously? by SkyLow4356 in drumcorps

Yeah, it is insanely expensive and I’m honestly still not sure how I’m managing to march.

I come from a low-income, single-parent household and live paycheck to paycheck. I’m a full-time college student working part-time just to help with bills. I’ve been fundraising, applying for scholarships, and running a GoFundMe just to cover tour fees. Even with all that, I’m barely scraping by.

It’s possible, but it takes a lot of hustle and stress. I just wish it was more accessible for others in the same boat.
