Yes, I was lucky to have such a great music program at our high school and some really great teachers. The music department got paid for a lot of the performances we did at banquets and nursing homes and all kinds of events around the community, so that helped I'm sure. The Madrigal dinners we did were a pretty big production. We did 5 dinner performances in the school cafeteria that held about 200 people and we charged $20 per person (in the late 80s, I wonder what they charge these days), so I think that was well worth our efforts.
