Become? When I was a child, over a half century ago, sports, band, and choir were the big three "rich kid" activities between the costs for uniforms, equipment and travel for competitions.

I guess it depends on the area, because when I was a kid 35 years ago, band and choir cost nothing and sports was a $25 uniform fee.

Choir was $35 for the outfit, $2 a week for "music use fee", and anywhere from $10 to $300 for transport and accommodations during the competition season, per trip.

Gross. Glad I went to school in a sane district.
