This includes instruments ranging from $350 for a piccolo to $3,500 for a tuba. • Instrument Repair - Some of our instruments are held together by electrical tape and hose clamps. • New Uniforms - Our band has grown 50% since 1991. We don't have enough uniforms for such a rapidly growing band. The approximate cost is $12,000 (30 uniforms @ $400 each). • Uniform Repair - The uniforms go through a lot of wear and tear. It costs $10,000 a season just to clean them. Many coUege bands receive funding from the student body. Some of these schools include Arizona State, UCLA, USC, University of California at Berkeley, Oregon State, University of Oregon, and Washington State. Because stuff* happens.
