Marching Band Camp 2011:
August 1-5 at APHS
Cost: $125.00

 

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAMP:

 

♪ Make scheduled payments of $62.50 on June 1 and July 1.  Checks should be made payable to “APHS Music Boosters” and give to your Band Camp Paperwork Coordinator (listed below by class).  Be sure to check your individual fundraising account balance prior to payment!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

♪ Fill out these two forms (seniors must fill out a third) and turn them in to your Band Camp Paperwork Coordinator with your July 1 payment.

 

             Form #1: Physical Form/MHSAA Consent/History

This form (BOTH sides) must be filled out by a doctor in conjunction with a physical examination completed AFTER MAY 1 of the current calendar year.

Michigan State Law mandates that you will NOT be able to attend camp unless this form is filled out by a physician AFTER MAY 1 OF CURRENT CALENDAR YEAR.

          

Did you have your annual physical prior to May 1 and your insurance only covers one per calendar year?  No worries! Sports physicals are available through the school district for a nominal fee.  Inquire at the main office or check the district website for days and times.

 

Form #2: Medical Consent
          

This form is only required if: a) prescription medication will be taken while at camp or b) over the counter medication may/will be necessary.  Please note:  We will be unable to provide even a pain reliever for a headache if this form is not on file!

Form #3 (Seniors ONLY!):  Senior Lunch Permission Slip

 

Incoming Seniors only: No cost to students as lunch is provided by the Music Boosters

Parent drivers are needed (must be 21 or older).  Please complete the Volunteer Driver form if you are interested in joining us!

 

♪ Shoe & Uniform fittings

        

Students are required to purchase uniform shoes (Dinkles) for marching.  Fittings are done at selected Wednesday practices during the summer and at band camp.  Returning students will not be fitted unless they notify the volunteer in charge of fitting that new shoes will be required.  Cost for the shoes is $35.

 

Uniform fittings are done at band camp.  All students, including returning students, will be fitted.  Uniforms must be checked in/out for each event - they are not to be taken home.  A $25 annual care fee to cover cleanings and alterations may be charged (but is often covered by the Music Boosters)
