Not including throws, that's another grand or so.

LMAO! You buy a grand of throws to ride in a 6+ mile NOLA parade route you're gonna be waving at a lot of MF'ers on the route.

Orion in BR is just over 1.5 mile route and spending $1K on throws is not hard to do at all. Especially if you want to throw more than beads. Any specialty stuff is gonna spike your throw costs.

Having said that, I know a member of Orpheus. They are a bit of a bargain right now in that they are just over $1,000 for dues. Endymion is twice that per two members I know (they may pay extra to their float to do parties, specialty throws for their float, etc as a part of that). Again though, a G for beads is gonna leave you empty handed real quick in Endymion.

Yeah they must be on a specialty float dues are only 975 for endymion after the first year.

And no if you do the shopping right and hustle beads 1K+ on throws is easy.

I throw about 16-18 gross, and I am throwing constantly the whole route.

Of course you could take the easy way out and shell out 3K+ on everything specialty, and then chunk bags of beads at naseum (something the krewe warns against doing, especially if your not paying attention to who you are throwing too)
