COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
Commitment 1: Attendance I understand that students will be present at every rehearsal and performance, or know that any missed time could jeopardize their role in the show. Absences should be communicated via email to Eric Thornbury and Jacob Crossley as early as possible. I understand that some rehearsals and contests will be over Fall Break, and will commit to those as well.
SCHEDULE CONFLICTS Please list any dates you will not be here for rehearsals or performances. Please keep in mind attendance determines your ability to participate in performances, and is up to the director's discretion. Dates can be found on the Marching Band Home page. You will still need to email your missing dates to Mr. Thornbury and Mr. Crossley when the season starts.
List All Students: Potential Conflicts
FALL BREAK Students are required to rehearse and compete Oct. 15th - 18th, 2025 and Oct. 22nd - 25th, 2025.
I understand I must be at rehearsals and performances over fall break. (Students who cannot commit to this will share a spot. This must be communicated by the start of band camp.)
Commitment 2: Payments By enrolling in and participating in Programs offered by the Noblesville Band programs, I am entering into a legally binding contract in which I acknowledge and agree to pay all charges assessed to my students account. This includes accepting responsibility for any additional costs related to this enrollment in the programs including, but not limited to, accommodations, meals, clothing, transportation, instruments, entry fees, and any other costs associated with the Program.
I understand that outstanding balances from previous seasons must be settled to participate in the current season. Any accounts that are not settled past the final due date may be subject to additional collection efforts. Any extra fees or costs associated with the collection process are the responsibility of the signor. If financial assistance or an alternative payment plan is needed, please contact our treasurer.
I understand that charges apply regardless of the participation or length of term, even if the participation changes at any point of the year, and I acknowledge such determinations will be made by Noblesville Band program in its sole discretion. Published drop/add deadlines also apply regardless of the length of participation.
I understand that payments must be made in full, or alternative arrangements must be made for payment with our treasurer, Jacky Doke (Treasurer@NoblesvilleBand.org).
Commitment 3: Participation I understand that if a student misses or sits out of multiple rehearsals for any reason, it may not be the right activity for the student, or may not be the right season for the student to participate. Parents will be contacted, and a participation plan will be made, or dismissal from the group may be necessary. The marching band is only successful if all students are participating at the highest level during all rehearsals and performances.
Commitment 4: Enrolled in Fall Band Class I understand that a student must be enrolled in a fall band class to participate in marching band (concert or guard class). * Required
Commitment 5: Family Volunteers I understand that Volunteering is necessary to help the band program be successful. Each band student’s parents/guardians are required to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours per family which includes a minimum of 4 hours at the Black & Gold Contest on Sept 27, 2025. Families with multiple students - please note the volunteer requirement is PER FAMILY, not per student. * Required
Commitment 6: Musicianship The enrolling student must have earned a C or higher in your former band classes to participate in this extra-curricular marching band activity. In addition, students must be able to demonstrate basic musical skills, as determined by the band directors. * Required
Commitment 7: Uniform and Property Care Student Uniforms and Instruments are included in the fees (except for shoes & gloves). Any school equipment, instruments, or uniforms that are lost or damaged are the responsibility of the student to pay for repairs or replacement. * Required
Commitment 8: Commitment to Discipline With well over 150 students and an incredible show to put together, any time the directors spend on discipline issues simply takes away from the success of the marching band. Because of this, students must follow all NHS Student Handbook guidelines, must behave as a model marching band student on and off the field. Students may be dismissed from this activity if the directors consider any offense severe or disruptive to the organization. This includes, but not limited to- foul language, negativity on social media concerning staff or band students, bullying, cyber bulling, undisciplined behavior during rehearsals, breaking any guidelines in the student handbook, and being anywhere in the school other than the designated rehearsal space, or the designated break space. Students are only allowed to use the closest-to-band-room restrooms, and are never to venture into any portion of NHS other than these two spaces at the specified times. Students found in any portions of NHS other than the designated areas, or breaking any NHS student handbook rules could be immediately dismissed from the group. * Required
