Lafayette Marching Band
BAND MEMBERS — It is very important to check and double-check the items in your Red Bag prior to every performance! Make certain all required items are present, clean. This is important information to remember prior to every football game and competition! Parents and Students — Carefully review these instructions:
Hair should not touch the collar when dressed in uniform, therefore, students with longer hair should bring items to secure their hair in a ponytail or purchase a wig cap. Wig caps can be purchased from the Uniform Team for $1 for a package of 2 caps. Have class – YOU are the “PRIDE OF THE BLUEGRASS”! Always support other performing groups! Refuse to say anything negative, no matter what might be said to you. |

Medications for Quarterfinals |
|
If your child needs to take prescription or over-the-counter medication during the day on Saturday and we do not have a physician’s signature on file, you will need to complete and return the “2016 Medical Prescription Form” found under the FORMS link on the Lafayette Website (www.lafayetteband.org). Return the completed form and the medication needed for that day only in its original container to any chaperone at the blue building next to the practice field. We will take medications for the Tates Creek contest on: Friday: 5:00pm -6:00pm (before the football game) Please note that over-the-counter medications must be accompanied by a physician’s signature on the FCPS form noted above. If a physician has already signed the LBA Medical Form then you are not required to submit an additional form for the OTC medications included and initialed. If you have any questions you may contact Mike Booth (mikeboothgm@gmail.com). |
