Physical Forms for Band & Athletics

Students that are involved with both band and athletics must have a copy of their CCISD Pre-Participation Physicals on file with the band and with the athletic trainer.  Students who have not already made a copy may pick up their physical form from us, get a copy made, and then return one to us and one to the athletic trainer.

It is suggested that when physicals are given each year that each student make three copies of the physical form and give one to the trainer, one to the band director, and keep one on file at home.

Pick-up/Drop-off

Last week you should have received an email from Mrs. Love asking that if you arrive early to pick up your child from an event that you please park in a parking space, you can not wait on the emergency lanes or thoroughfares.  Instead, please park in a parking space and then pull around when your child is ready.  Because we are using most of the back parking  lot for rehearsal there may not be enough spots in the back of the school for all parents, you may need to wait in front of the school.

You may still use the thoroughfares to drop-off and pick-up as long as you are not waiting in your car.  When waiting you must park in a parking space.

A couple of weeks ago, there was an emergency situation on campus where an ambulance had to be called.  This happened right around the time we dismissed from band practice.  With the congestion of multiple athletic events/practices going on at the same time as our rehearsal, it left the back driving lanes of the school very congested to the point that it impeded the path of the ambulance to reach its destination.  The person in need is fine; however, the mobility issue caught everyone’s attention to address the situation in case there is a life-threatening emergency the next time an ambulance is called.

Thank you for complying with this new policy as we strive to do what is best for our students, staff, and guests at Clear Springs High School.

Note: If someone asks you to move, please cooperate.  There will be school personnel, law enforcement officials, and fire department personnel making occasional checks of the drive lanes after school hours.

Band Dues Due Sept 1

In order to provide a quality education for your child, band dues are assessed to cover the gap between what the district pays for plus what the booster club raises and the cost of operating a modern band program at a 6A high school in Texas.  Details of what the band dues covers was discussed in detail at the final booster club meeting at the end of last year.

As was communicated at the parent meeting (different from the booster meeting) at the end of last school year, the $200 band dues are due on Sept 1st.  Please note that this is separate from the equipment night purchases, game meals, and the CCISD extracurricular fee.  You may pay with a credit card through CHARMS (there is a service fee), or you may pay with cash, money order, or cashiers check (no personal checks).

Please be aware that the CCISD extracurricular fee will be due on Sept 15th, we will send out instructions the week of Sept 1st. Do NOT pay the CCISD extracurricular fee through CHARMS or include it as part of any other payments you are making to the band or band boosters.

Friday, August 22nd
6:00 PM Performance; 4:30 PM Report 
Clear Springs High School – Back Parking Lot

Our kids have been working hard this summer & want to show off what they have learned.  The performance will take place on the band parking lot behind the school so you will probably want to bring folding chairs.  Following their performance we will have an optional meal and social gathering in the cafeteria.  This is a great opportunity for parents to meet and/or socialize with their children(s)’ friends’ parents, and for the kids to get a chance to relax and enjoy each others company before school starts.

This year we will be serving hamburgers & chicken sandwiches with tea & water plus dessert in the cafeteria immediately following the performance. Tickets are $10 per plate for both parents and students and can be purchased online through this website by clicking here or by cash.  If paying online please print out the receipt and drop it in the band hall safe, if paying with cash please put in an envelope labeled with your name, what it is for, and how many tickets and then drop it in the band hall safe.

Orders are due by Wednesday the 20th.

Note:  Do NOT pay online through CHARMS, if paying online pay through the online store on this website.

Updated 8/20: Clarified performance time and added report time.

Dot Books

In order to learn drill students are given coordinate sheets.  These coordinate sheets tell the students where on the football field they are supposed to go and how many counts they need to take to get there.  However this is not enough information to excel at the drill, it is only enough to initially learn it.

In order to excel, we have the students make something called a Dot Book which contains their coordinate information as well as additional information that we have the students add when we are out on the field learning and cleaning the drill.

All students (i.e. varsity, jv, drum line, pit, and color guard) are required to have their dot book on them whenever we are on the practice field.  Students who do not have their dot book or do not have a dot book completed up to the point instructed by directors will be asked to leave the field and will only be allowed to return when they have their completed dot book.  Varsity members risk being moved to jv and jv members will not be considered for any openings on varsity if they do not have completed dot books.  Also, we will have several dot book checks for grades during the first 9 weeks.

What we will provide:
  • 1 set of Dot book pages are free (replacement pages will be 5 for $1)
What students will provide:
  • 2 loose leaf binder rings (or spring links) to hold the Dot Book pages together
  • A lanyard or shoe lace in order to wear the dot book around their neck or waist when we are out on the field.
  • a pencil (not a pen) in order to write in the dot book (note that students should already be bringing a pencil to rehearsal in order to write in their music).

  1. The next trip payment is due this Friday.  $200 for students and $150 for chaperones.
  2. The Meal Plan payment is also due this Friday.  Remember the $150 payment is required for everyone.  The only exceptions are for those who have already visited with Mr. Williams.  We are working on the final details of our Meal Plan.  Information will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
  3. Be sure to download and print the stand tunes addendum and add them to your flip folder.  These are the tunes we will be performing for the Silverados this year.
  4. Students should have already downloaded the fundamental book and added them to a three-ring binder.  You should be able to find good back to school deals on the binders.  If you want to put them in sheet protectors, that is ok but it is not required.
  5. Everyone should have already received their Equipment Night items with the exception of the shoes.  The shoe shipment was delayed; however, they are now in and will be distributed to the students after rehearsal on Friday.
