Photo & Media Information* This field is required.Athens Drive Band Boosters follows the photo permissions submitted through your student’s official WCPSS forms for social media and public use. Please update your WCPSS form if you wish to change those permissions. The band also maintains an online photo archive of performances and events, with photos taken by parent volunteers.

78
Attendance Commitment* This field is required.Band members are expected to attend all scheduled rehearsals, performances, and events. Please review the full season schedule. If a conflict arises, families must notify the directors in writing as soon as possible. Significant pre-existing conflicts should be discussed with the directors prior to registration. Review the band handbook for detailed policies and procedures. Students are expected to be ready to begin rehearsals at the scheduled start time (which may require arriving a few minutes early to prepare equipment). While we make every effort to start and end on time, students may need a few minutes after rehearsal to properly store instruments, props, and equipment. It is expected that every student helps with putting away ALL items needed for rehearsals.
I understand the attendance expectations and have reviewed the schedule and band handbook.
