REQUIRED FORMS:
There are SIX forms that need to be completed. All of them are linked below, but hard copies are available in the band office if you are not able to print them.
1. The Annual Marching Band Participation form must be filled out and signed by the PARENT.
2. You must have a current Physical, and we use the FHSAA Physical Form. Fill out the first two pages, which both the STUDENT and PARENT must sign. Then the DOCTOR completes and signs the 3rd & 4th pages. You probably will not need the 5th page at all – that is only if the doctor refers you to a specialist for some reason before completing your clearance. KEEP pages 1-3 for your records; TURN IN page 4 (or 4 & 5 if 5 was needed). The physical is good for 365 days from the date of the exam as indicated by the doctor. If you recently had a physical but did not have the doctor do the form, you can simply take the form back to their office and they will be able to complete it from their records. If you don’t have a regular doctor, there are FREE physicals offered this summer: Back to School Clinic Information
3. The Emergency Treatment Authorization Card requires the PARENT signature to be NOTARIZED. We won’t take a student anywhere without this form!
4. (OR 4a) The Consent and Release from Liability for Minor Child – the PARENT signature must be NOTARIZED. NOTE: If the student is already 18 or older, there is a very similar form – which still must be NOTARIZED.
5. The Handbook Acknowledgement, verifying that you have read and understand the information in the Marching Band Handbook.
6. A Media Release form, so that we may promote the band program through positive publicity.
PLUS – You will also need School Insurance, regardless of what other insurance coverage you have. Here is the link to the school board page to visit for information and to enroll: https://www.pcsb.org/Page/15271. Enrollment for the 2025-26 school year is not yet available – the link will go live once it is. The least expensive option is the At School Low Option plan, which costs TBA (last year was $4.00). Once you have enrolled, just send the confirmation to Mr. Benoit (hard copy or electronically, either the insurance card or the confirmation email is fine!).
