Registration and Camp Fees
The 2010 registration fee is $110 for new members and $75 for returning Blue Stars members. This non-refundable fee covers administrative, facilities, Blue Stars Audition T-Shirt, and instruction costs during winter rehearsals. In addition, a minimum camp fee of per camp will be assessed to prospective/returning members who attend multiple camps, but do not march the summer season. These camp fees count towards the comprehensive tour fee for 2010 marching members.

Comprehensive Tour Fee
The comprehensive tour fee covers nearly all costs associated with the tour during the summer, including all room and board, all meals (except for free nights), 12,000 miles of travel, and hundreds of hours of quality instruction.

The 2010 tour fee will be announced at the November audition camp. At this time, it is anticipated that the 2010 fees are going to decrease for returning members and stay the same for new members.

Extras
The corps will provide every meal, except on 'free days,' which typically happen every 10 to 14 days. Typically on free days members have the option of going to a mall or a movie theater, or they may have the opportunity to see a local monument, or do something cool that you can only do in the area (i.e. Visit the beach in Florida, go whitewater rafting in Colorado, or see a Broadway show in New York.).

Members also pay for their own laundry (usually $5-$10 per visit, with one visit every 14 days) and occasional runs to Wal-Mart to pick up incidentals. The amount of extra money required for these sorts of things varies from person to person. $150 to $400 is a good rule of thumb; some have done it with less, some spend much more.
