Dear Marching Band Member and Parents, Welcome to the 2019 Panther Marching Band – the Pride of Central York! I am very excited about the upcoming season and look forward to another incredible show from the area’s biggest and best marching band. We will have a Pre-Season Orientation Meeting for all members and parents on Wed., May 22, at 7:30 PM in the high school auditorium. It is imperative that every member attend with at least one parent. This meeting is critical to getting the season off to an organized and informed start. NO STUDENT will be permitted to participate without attending the Pre-Season Orientation, with a parent/guardian. A make-up session is scheduled for Tues., May 28 at 7:30 for those who are unable to attend on May 22. You MUST attend one of the sessions (preferably May 22). If you cannot attend May 22nd, please let Mr. Martini know you will be attending the May 28th meeting. Anyone NOT attending a pre-orientation without prior approval, will be removed from the roster. In order to facilitate registration and collection of forms and information, I am asking that we stagger the check-in for the May 22nd meeting.

PARTICPATION COMMITMENT Print Band Member’s Full Name Below is a Participation Contract between the band member listed and the 2019 Central York High School Marching Band. We believe in the importance of teaching students responsibility and commitment. After all, what is life but one commitment after another? Unfortunately, over the years, the word commitment has lost much of its meaning or totally disappeared from many student dictionaries. In an effort to teach the importance of commitment, we have prepared this contract. We need this commitment from each member if we are to continue our tradition of outstanding marching organizations. We are asking parents/guardians to co-sign this contract indicating that they have read the Member Handbook* and understand the commitment in time, talent, and effort that is being made. We trust that parents will assist us in helping each member meet this commitment. If we all work together – teacher, student, parent/guardian – we can provide a valuable and enriching experience for the members of the marching band. If you have any questions, please feel free to call upon the staff at any time. STUDENT AGREEMENT I have read the Marching Band Member Handbook* and understand what is expected of me in time, talent, effort, and commitment. I plan to live up to the commitment I am now making to my directors, fellow band members, parents, and myself. I realize that my part is an important part and my commitment is an important one. I have read the Calendar of Events and understand that I must attend Fundamentals Camp on July 29-August 2, 2019 and Main Band Camp in its entirety on August 5-9, 2019. With the exception of illness or emergencies, I will be in attendance at all rehearsals and performances listed on the Calendar in the Handbook (complete calendar will be available by May 22). I further understand that if I do not live up to my commitment, I may loose my award point and/or be dismissed from the marching band according to the policies and standards in the Member Handbook. __________________________________________________________________________________ Signature of Band Member Date PARENTAL AGREEMENT I understand the commitment my child is making to the 2019 Central York Marching Band and I will do everything in my power to assist him/her in honoring this commitment to its fullest. __________________________________________________________________________________ Signature of Parent/Guardian Date * The MEMBER HANDBOOK is available on the Band Web Site at the Marching Band page.

PERFORMANCE COMMITMENT_____________________________________________ Print Band Member’s Full Name It is imperative that ALL members be present for every performance. Please indicate any conflicts with performance dates below. The only acceptable excuse for absence from a performance, other than illness or an emergency (e.g. death in the family), is a once-in-a-lifetime, unavoidable event. Vacations and family trips should be avoided if they conflict with performances, especially on the multiple performance weekends of Sept. 6-8, Sept., 27-28, Oct 4-6, Oct. 18-19 and October 25-27. Only emergencies will be considered for these weekends. If you have a conflict on any of these weekends, please reconsider joining. ALL performances are important and ALL members are needed for EVERY performance. Because of the nature of most excusable conflicts, legitimate conflicts should be known now and must be indicated below in order to be excused. Except for emergency situations, all requests to be excused from a performance MUST be submitted by MAY 30, 2019. Requests for excused absence will be entertained at later dates, but it should be noted that the expectation is as follows: the student has made the commitment to the dates on the calendar and our expectation is that this commitment be given high priority by both student and parents out of respect for the group. The Director and staff have the final authority to grant or deny an excused absence. An unexcused absence from a performance, regardless of advanced notice, may result it suspension or expulsion from the group. If NO CONFLICTS exist, please check the box and sign at bottom. r No Conflicts Please indicate the date(s) that are conflicts and provide a DETAILED description of the conflict below:
