Many if not most are funded as an adjunct course of a community college or public adult education program. As a community college program, each musician enrolls as a student and pays approx. $26 per semester for one credit hour. As a public adult education class, the musician also enrolls, fills out computer bubble sheets detailing one's life goals, and pays a fee in the range of $30 per semester. In both cases, the state and federal government subsidize the concert bands by providing the room, insurance, music library, and a stipend for the conductor. Adult enducation supported bands need to take attendance for every rehearsal and concert, because the state reimburses the school district according to attendance-- two years ago, this was $12 per musician per rehearsal or concert.
