IMPORTANT FORMS

Posted on by

On Tuesday, every student received a packet of information and forms that SHOULD have gotten to a parents hand immediately. There are several important documents that students cannot do marching band without.

NOTICE: SOME OF THESE FORMS NEED TO BE NOTARIZED. That means that you should not sign them until you are in front of a notary public. IF you do sign them, you will have to redo the forms. We will have someone at our Band Booster Meeting on Tuesday evening notarizing. 

All forms are available on Charms under the “Handouts & Files” then under “Band Camp Forms“. You must be logged in to see all of the forms. These are the forms:

– Financial Commitment Pledge
– McGavock Handbook Agreement
– Permission to Medicate
– Notarized Medical Form
– Parent Consent to Participate

There are also several other forms that can be turned in or used such as the Band Camp T-Shirt order form and the Personal Donation form.

2015 Marching: On the Way…

Posted on by

The 2015 McGavock Marching Band production is titled “On the Way…” The show features selections from the film score to Pollock by Jeff Beal, Home by Philip Phillips/Piano Guys, and Uffe’s Woodshop by Tyondai Braxton. On the Way… will feature orange traffic barrels as a unique and cutting edge visual prop device. Bright neon orange will be a featured color throughout the production and be woven through in many different ways. The music and visual designs will lead the audience on a journey, eventually landing at our final destination…HOME. Using GPS/traffic sound effects and a fresh and modern soundtrack, the McGavock Band hopes you enjoy their 2015 production.
