600 bucks to be on the High School Dance Team this year.  600 freaking dollars
for a uniform!  My daughter did not try out because she wanted to take a year
off of sports, but damn, if she makes the team next year it's gonna break my
budget!  Oh and that's uniform cost, and participation fee only.....there are
still trips and other costs associated with being on the team.  Cheerleading is
even more $.  Sometimes at our local school they do "scholarships" for talented
students who can't pay.....but those poor kids never seem very "talented"
according to the coaches,  if you know what I mean.  

Also about the games.  We paid for an ASB card so my daughter could get a
discount entry for games.  After the discount she still pays 4-7 dollars
depending on the event!  Dances are still 5-10 dollars even with the discount. 
Homecoming....forget it!  Tickets alone are $50 per couple or $30 per person. 
That does not include dresses, shoes, tuxes....etc.  High school sucks!  LOL
