Williston 10 Band under financial strain tested by subscriptions
City business leaders consider if Williston 10 can sustain a live band as costs exceed receipts. With $50 monthly subscriptions and 10 percent collection costs, $45 remains for $135 to $150 monthly expenses, leaving a monthly deficit of $80 to $105. The debt to Bruegger’s and marching needs prompt action to avoid a bandless town next summer amid state events and large crowds.
