PHYSICAL REQUIRED FOR BAND PARTICIPATION
Everyone participating in Band must have a sports physical on file. Take this form to your doctor or a walk in clinic to be completed, then upload it to your FamilyID profile BEFORE camp. (If you are only playing in a beginner class but not Marching Band this year, you do not need a physical or FamilyID profile.)

REMIND APP BEING DISCONTINUED
We are no longer using the Remind app due to its group size limitations. Our communication, event calendar, and downloadable files will now be on an app called BAND, which is available in the app store for iOs and Android. Please use your accurate first and last name (no gamer tags, etc.). This QR code can be used to sign up. This is for both parents and students.
CHECK THE CALENDAR!
Blue letters are live links. Click them to open for more information. Dates are provided as far in advance as possible.
Report times: The time listed is the beginning of the activity, whether it is the first note of music warmups, stretching, or loading equipment. All instrument maintenance, dressing, hair/makeup, and any other personal needs must be completed ahead of time so you can be ready to start the activity by the listed calendar time.
Ending/pickup times: Ending times are estimated where possible. Every event is subject to time changes out of the band's control. Parents are requested to be at the school to pick students up by the listed pickup time. If there is a significant change to the schedule while the band is traveling, an updated pickup time will be sent out on Remind.
Times will be updated on this calendar as we receive information from event planners. Please check this page regularly.
