Information Form

• We still have several students who need to complete the information form so we can get everyone’s contact information and sizes.
• IMPORTANT – Do not fill this form out if you aren’t sure what sizes you need. I have sample sizes of the shorts and polos available to try on in the high school band room.
• If you know what sizes you need, fill out the form HERE.

Physicals

• All students need to get a physical done that is dated after May 1st, 2024 (you must get a new one each school year). You can get this done at most urgent care locations, as well as with your primary care doctor.
• This needs to be completed and returned to me before the first day of band camp.

Rank One

• ALL students must log in to Rank One and complete the required forms. This must be done again every school year.
• To do this go to www.nobleps.com, click schools, then athletics, then athletic physical forms. This will start you in the Rank One system where all forms can be completed online.

Costs:

• Band Camp Cost = $120.00 per student
  • This covers all lunches, afternoon snacks, dinner Friday, & extra activities
• Uniform Fee = $30.00 per student
  • This covers band camp shirt, shorts, polo, & cleaning fees
• Dinkles (Marching Shoes) = $35.00 per student (only those who need to order a pair)
• Color Guard Shoes = $40.00 per student
• Total Marching Season Cost = $150.00 per student (or $185.00/$190.00 per student if you need shoes)

Compared to the marching band fees charged by other 5A high schools in Oklahoma, this is several hundred dollars less than the average cost. However, never allow financial concerns to prevent your child from participating in marching band. Simply contact us and allow us to help you work this out. We will have several fundraising opportunities for students to participate in that will help cover these costs.

​We are very excited about the 2024-2025 school year and looking forward to much success. All you have to do is be here and participate to the best of your ability. With another large incoming freshman class, our high school band will include 90+ members. Band camp is a very important time of instruction for the group as a whole, where we will be working on our pregame show, halftime shows, and stand tunes each day. We understand that some situations may arise that cause you to miss part of band camp. Please be sure to communicate with me as soon as you know there is a conflict so we can help you get any information you will miss during that time
