Each wind, percussion, color guard, and majorette student in the BTWHS Band is required to submit 4 forms every year, plus sign to acknowledge they read the BTWHS Band Handbook  This year the due date for all these items is Wednesday, 8/27.  Students that are missing forms will not be able to participate in the game that Friday night, and they will receive a 0 participation grade for the event, and any future events they miss due to missing paperwork. Our administration/the district will also remove the student from our program.  Please take the time now to address these requirements!

How do I know which forms my student needs to turn in?

I am tracking forms that are turned in using this spreadsheet: https://bit.ly/45nwSe2  I will make a note of the most recent update in the top left field.  This form will be displayed on the band room TVs during class/rehearsals on the days I’m at school. 

How do I get the correct paper forms?

OPTION 1: Attend a Volunteer Training/form meeting!  I have blank copies of all paper forms and we also try really hard to have a notary or two on hand so you can get your forms, fill them out, sign them, have them notarized, and turn them in all in one night.   We have one meeting tonight at 6pm (rescheduled from this past Saturday) and I am in the process of scheduling one more volunteer/form meeting for next week.  I will send out another announcement as soon as I set the date

OPTION 2: Attend the August Band Booster Meeting on Thursday, 8/21 at 6pm in the BTWHS Chorus Room (next door to the band room).  I will have copies of all forms and am arranging to have notaries on hand.  

OPTION 3: Print your own copies from our Google Drive.  

1. Please go to the form checklist here: https://bit.ly/45nwSe2 and find your student’s name
2. Click the link in the “fee group” field next to your student’s name.  It will take you directly to the correct folder in our Google Drive containing your 3 paper forms.
3. Print all 3 of those forms, fill them out, and sign them in front of a notary.  After all 3 pages are notarized, please fold them lengthwise (hot dog style) and put them in the band room drop box.  DO NOT HAND COMPLETED FORMS TO AN INSTRUCTOR!
