It is a lot less than you probably think. $500, maybe less.
I know Northshore parades pay high school bands $3500-3750.
Walking groups get between $750-2000.
People WAY underestimate what it costs to put on one of these parades. Even the smaller Krewe's are million dollar events. Something like a major NOLA Krewe is multi millions.

610 and Walking Krewes are lame as frick. Bunch of insufferable figs.

Man I just want to join The Knights of Columbus. All that stomping and walking just seems gay.

The 610 Stompers just started taking themselves too seriously.
It was basic Mardi Gras fun and frolic until they started doing gigs. The jump-the-shark moment was when they marched in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time.
It sort of like a family party when Uncle Joe wears a wig and sings Beyonce songs. Very funny, and will be retold in family lore for generations.
And then you find out that Uncle Joe is going to perform on National TV at the Olympics! Oh shite!!! Total cringe!!!

Original Member here and still active; wouldn't expect anything less from the OT as far as the hatred goes. To respond to a few questions and negative comments. Yes they get paid from $1500 to $5000 per parade. They also get a $2500 local performance fee for corporate or private events (weddings), they do not charge performance fees to charity organizations (they do the St. Michaels special school parade every year).
Yes they donate up to $25k or more to local charities each year with no strings attached, mostly local school music/dance programs or other programs that promote dance or music in the community, $5k to 4 or 5 programs each year.
Attention whores, sometimes yes, but we try to select guys that don't act like that during auditions, and have turned down professional dancers before because of their attitudes. They generally try to admit guys that we would enjoy drinking beers with on weekend and don't focus on their dancing ability (obviously).
Gay's yes there are about a quarter of the guys that are openly gay, try finding gay guys that don't like to dance, there aren't many.
Overplayed, probably at this point but they still get tons of positivity on the parade route and still get crazy amounts of appearance requests, many get turned down due to scheduling conflicts.
Bottom line we have had a beer sponsor that provides free beer to us for every major function we do since our inception (the last 4 or 5 years have been Gnarly Barley) so we drink free beer and have a good time and also enjoy free Canes from our other sponsor, all while donating our time/dues/money to charitable organizations.
If you have a problem with that its a "you" problem, not ours.

Ready for the downvotes but grown men taking part in some of the ridiculous Mardi Gras stuff is mindblowing to me. It's a bit juvenile and attention seeking.

610 dose t bother me. Seems they are there for Mardi Gras and then corporate or paid events. It’s a group and to each their own
Now the bad mom’s club. They make me want to kick a puppy.

damn so now it's gay to have some goofy arse fun? Mardi Gras krewes are just as embarrassing but hell, it's mostly harmless fun. Leave them alone.

First off, you do you brother! The fact that you have been here for 13 years and you have two posts 1) one about a metal carport three years ago and 2) today defending the 610 stompers is amazing.

I enjoy watching them perform at halftime of the Saints game. Better than the usual shite they trot out there.
