So...How much does it cost?

When you sign a Performing Member Contract with The Cavaliers, you agree to the financial obligations and payment schedule associated with that membership.

Bottom line – Drum corps is expensive…

and there is no silver bullet to pay your way. The Cavaliers will give our members multiple fundraising opportunities, but the organization expects performers to fulfill ALL financial obligations in a timely manner. 

Don't wait until the last minute to start building your fundraising plan!

Members must ensure that payments are received at cavaliers.org/payments or the Cavaliers Office at: P.O. Box 501, Rosemont, IL. 60018 by the due date of each payment listed in the chart above (so plan accordingly if you are going to mail a check).

Checks can be made out to The Cavaliers, Inc. If you are writing a check for member dues, please ensure that the members full name and a brief description is written on the memo line of each check. We do not accept starter checks. Please ensure that a name, address, phone number, and check number are at the top of each check.

Payment of member dues is MANDATORY. You need to demonstrate willingness and ability to fulfill the financial commitment as described on this website and in your member contract. We expect payments to be made on-time per the outlined financial schedule above. Any difficulties in adhering to the payment schedule must be discussed with corps management. Any contracted member (full or alternate) not able to pay their portion of dues on-time per the payment schedule will result in the possible termination of an existing contract/participation agreement, suspension of participation, replacement of that member, or shifting of responsibilities/positions within the organization.

REFUND POLICY:

There is a NO REFUND policy for participants who participate in our Audition Experience Camps or to contracted members to The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps (if either party decides to discontinue the relationship for any reason there will be no refund).
