4.) Marchathon Fundraiser

• To be completed by Brass and Percussion at the March Camp
• To be completed by the Guard at the April Camp
• HUGE fundraiser for the corps
• Opportunity for members to off-set their fees. Once a member raises $200, s/he will receive 25% of every dollar raised over $200. Example: Member raises $400 total. S/he will receive 25% of $200 or $50!!! This amount is credited to the member account if there is a balance, or given to the member if s/he is paid in full.
• Historically, we have had members pay all of their fees and get money back! 
• If a member completes 30 or more forms, this amount will not be added to membership fees.
• If a member chooses to "opt-out" of the fundraiser, and additional $180 will be due and payable at the March (brass and percussion) or April (guard) camp.
• A member may complete less than thirty, but must pay the difference. For example: Member completes 15 forms and pays $90...basically $6/form not completed.
