Are you a band director or something? Clearly you know something without a doubt that I as a band member wouldn't know.

He can't even read. You think he understands departmental budgets?

That leaves $3076/per band member. Flight is $707/person roundtrip BTR to DUB. I'd say then can knock out the rest of the expenses with $2400/ person.

ETA: So my answer is frick no it will not cost a mil.

Don't forget he said MILLIONS. So double that.

It's like the band members are stealing from your kids.

They should get sponsorships by taking requests. "free my people" is up first

Sounds about right. But OP, you have nothing to fear. If all else fails, we kids get to pay out the difference.

You left out support staff, cheerleaders, golden girls, all of which adds up to close to 500.

BTR has been very competitive on routes served by more than one airline over the last few years. And they'll be booking the trip through the State's travel agency which will save them $$$.

1. I don't think the cheerleaders are coming
2. 325 includes the Golden Girls...
3. I wouldn't see more than 375, 400.

Still leaves over $1200 per person to fund everything else and keep it under a mil.
