How to Afford Drum Corp?

As many of you probably know, drum corp and indoor drumline can be a very expensive activity to participate it. So how does one afford to do drum corp? What are some ways to make a few extra bucks to help out? Well, one thing I have done to get some extra cash is by taking online surveys, like Opinion Outpost. Let's say you only make $10 a month with this site (you can make more depending on how much time you put in). If you join ten of these sites you can easily make $1200/year.

Need a percussion drumline composer?

I posted a little composition I wrote for the tenor drums yesterday. I also have a bunch of snare drum licks that I wrote that I will be posting soon, as well as a few cadences. I just thought I would take the time now to mention that my services are available for any drum line or band director out there that wants a crazy sweet drum break. I've got a few ideas for drum features that have never been done before (to my knowledge). Now, I don't think I could or have the time to do a complete score for a full length show (and have no experience writing one anyways) but if you need a cadence or solo section I'd be all over it (and have experience in doing so). Please comment below or email if you are interested or in need of some original drumline sheet music!!
