PRE-PARTICIPATION PHYSICALS

All students who will be participating in High School Band during the 2018-2019 school year are required by the district to have a Pre-Participation Physical which must be dated on or after April 1, 2018.  These Physical Forms are due on Equipment Night (July 30) and must be on file by the first day of Summer Band (July 31).  Forms are available for pickup in the band office and available for download online by clicking here.  Students who do not have a current completed form on file in the band office will be sent home from summer band.

This physical can be performed by your family doctor or PA, or at any place that gives sports physicals. These physicals are due the first day of Summer Band, but can and should be turned in to the band office if completed before the end of the school year.

BE SURE THAT BOTH PARENT AND STUDENT SIGN THE BOTTOM OF PAGES 1, 2, AND 3!  FORMS WITHOUT SIGNATURES CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.

Important:
  • It is suggested that parents make a copy of the completed form to keep on file at home.
  • If you will be participating in both band and athletics you will need one copy of your physical form on file in the band office and one copy of your physical form on file with the athletic trainer.
  • It is the student’s responsibility to make sure a copy of the physical form is made and that one is given to the band directors and one to the athletic trainer.
