Indicate whether or not your band receives scholarships. I'm curious as to the perceived best bands and the correlation between scholarships being awarded.

UF - no scholarships that I'm aware of

AU - only if you're a music major, and even then only if you're good.

Million Dollar Band is open to all students, including music majors.

quote:

Scholarship Information

The Million Dollar Band offers participation scholarships to deserving wind players, keyboard players, bassists, guitarists and percussionists based on musical ability and the needs of the band. The amount of the awards usually ranges from $500.00 to $1000.00.

To be considered for a Million Dollar Band scholarship, students must play an audition separate from the membership auditions held at Fall Camp. Million Dollar Band scholarships are not available for Shelton State students.


Alabama has a School of Music.

Every member receives a $400 stipend and out of state students in the band get to pay in-state tuition (insane).

Alabama - no, at least not when I was there. Shelton State also has students that participate in Alabama's band. That's why it is so large.
