Does it cost anything to participate in the ECU Marching Pirates?
In most cases, no. The Marching Pirates are fortunate to have most of their expenses, including travel, paid for by the university and athletic department. Members of the band are only required to purchase black marching shoes, at least 2 pairs of white marching gloves, flip charts, and lyres, and their own meals during band camp. More information concerning the cost for each of these items will be posted online as soon as the 2010-2011 budget has been finalized in late spring/early summer.
