At In-Person Registration (STUDENTS are also REQUIRED to attend):
When you arrive, please look for the SPIRIT BAND ONLY TABLE at Registration. You will not have as much paperwork to complete as students In the competitive band, so you will have a designated table.
1) We will confirm that parents & students have ALREADY completed the 2025 Spirit Band Only Online Registration Form & are showing as active in Membership Toolkit. If not, families will be required to register on the spot.
2) Students will turn in required paper forms from the 2025 Spirit Band Only Registration Paperwork Packet.
3) Students will be fitted for marching band shoes to order (unless they have shoes that fit from previous years and are in good condition). These shoes are ~$47 and students will need to order them online once they are fitted. This cost is not included in the marching band dues payments.
4) Students will turn in the $125 payment for their marching band dues. Families can pay online with a card via Membership Toolkit or with check or exact cash at registration.
