$15,000 is your starting budget.
With this money you have to pay your instructors, buy your props, and pay entree fees to compete.

Salaries are a big part of your budget.
You must pay each staff member you have at the beginning of the season, or when they are hired. Payment is the same for each staff member: $200 for 1 season.

Props and other visual aids can be essential to your band's success.
Visual aids run at $100 per prop, and may be purchased at any time. You must also pay $50 per student for uniforms at the beginning of the season.

Entry Fees are required to compete.
No, competing isn't free. You have to pay to win. Being the case, you will find the prices for the respective competitions in the scheduling catalog while you figure your band's schedule.
