Mandatory Fall Training and Marching Band Contract

IMPORTANT- From Mr. Carlson:
All marching band and colorguard families need to sign the Marching Band Contract. This contract is a commitment to marching band, understanding that when one chooses marching band, it comes with attendance responsibility that impacts all other members of the Band. The band's success depends on consistency, both as an individual and as a team.

The Fall Training Camp (8/7-11 & 8/14-19 from 12-8PM) is a mandatory prerequisite for membership in the Marching Band and Colorguard. Over a semester's worth of regular school year class hours are covered within the Fall Training Camp alone. Missing a single day is like missing a week and a half of school, resulting in the member falling significantly behind the ensemble. This is particularly unfair to the members who are at rehearsals and are progressing as a team. Please speak to Mr. Carlson if you have any questions.

Go to www.miracostabands.com to access the contract or click HERE. Make sure to print, sign and bring it to the Mandatory Parent Meeting on June 6th.

Please check the box to indicate that you have read and understood that Fall Training is mandatory.
