The LVW Board of Directors are extremely happy to announce that the Member Fee for 2026 is LOWER than we anticipated! After much discussion, crunching numbers, analyzing variations to the schedule and how it would affect cost, anticipating revenue, and anticipating the size of our band next summer, the Member Fee has been set to $1400.
This Member Fee amount is actually $350 LOWER than the "actual" cost per member for 2026, which is around $1750. The Board of Directors included in our revenue the anticipated appearance money for next summer, and also voted to grant a "scholarship" which will be drawn from our cash reserves for every member.
The Board will reach out to alumni and friends of LVW for possible donations to assist in covering costs for 2026. In addition, since we are releasing the schedule and the Member Fee much earlier than we have in the past, we are hoping that families can begin to prepare for the larger cost associated with going on the extended tour. It is not uncommon for LVW members to ask Grandparents and relatives to help out with funds if they are able. There are other creative ways that members can bring in some extra cash to cover the fee. LVW hopes to share some of those methods in the near future.
