Step 7: Completion/upload of sports physical of MHSAA physical form to BigTeams - Due Aug 1
Required. To be completed by all Marching Band members:
Mandatory current-year physicals are a UCS rule for the safety of all members of the Marching Band and must be completed and uploaded to Big Teams by August 1, 2024 - the Thursday before home camp. This rule applies to all UCS marching bands, summer camps, and athletic-related activities (note: all physicals must have been completed on or after April 15th, 2024).
It is critically important to have a proper water container available during marching band activities - throughout the season.
Having their own water source helps ensure the marcher has access to get the hydration they need in the most safe, effective, and hygienic way possible.
1/2 gallon or 1 gallon water jugs as pictured below can be found at retailers such as Target, Amazon.com, Walmart, and more. Every marcher should have one!
Receiving Physical Education Flex Credit for completing 2 full seasons of Marching Band: A student may be able to waive the graduation requirement of 1/2 credit of Physical Education (gym class) following the completion of two seasons of Marching Band between 9th and 12th grades. In addition to 100% participation, the proper paperwork must be completed, signed by the band director, and returned to the counseling department to complete eligibility.
