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.
Alabama has a School of Music.

I believe @ LSU it's music scholarship, not a band one but of course music scholarships are many. In sure a tiger band member can correct me

the Tiger Band is comprised of students from all over the LSU campus. Even though Tiger Band members display a wealth of musical talent, we desire players who possess a strong sense of dedication and pride in their work. Approximately 80% of Tiger Band members are majoring outside of music.

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

This is not entirely true. I got a scholarship my freshman year, and I only had to audition once.

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.

You must be a member of the Corps of Cadets to be in the A&M band. No music majors but the Corps members do receive scholarships.

UGA Redcoat Band has 490 members...Only 125 are Music Majors...

I don't think that's right. If you get a school of music scholarship you can get instate tuition. However just being in the marching band doesn't guarantee you in state tuition.
Marching band is just a 1 credit hour class that you audition for and get a stipend for.

I don't think that's right
btw, its absolute crap that you only get 1 hour credit despite working like 16 hours a week. But I guess since you go to the games and away/bowl games for free its okay.

I'm in UAB's band and I get $3000 a year.
Jacksonville State used to give out full rides for band scholarships. No joke, their school of music is absolutely loaded.

Tiger Band members are granted a $1000 stipend for the fall semester. Bengal Brass members are paid $20 per event they play. However, this year the $1000 stipend is being revoked in favor of a band trip to Ireland for St Patty's.
