Endymion is around 1200 the first year (if I remember correctly)(there is an initation fee)

After the first year it's drops to 900ish.

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

That's not a lot of throws? Is this typical in NOLA parades? The last year I rode in houma I threw 5k of stuff and I ran out early.

Def not 12000 lol. Dues after initiation are around $1000. Average on throws is about $1200. Spent $1500 on throws this year and that was plenty to throw the entire route and in the Dome. So look to spend at least $3000. That would include everything.

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.
