Davidson Band
Leadership Application
It is already time to start the process of choosing our 2019-20 Marching Band leadership. We have an extensive process by which students are selected, starting with a written application. This application is used for both Field Commanders and Squad leaders. Students- if you wish to be considered for both, you need only complete this once. If you are applying for the Field Commander position, please be sure to select the appropriate option in the form when asked.
Field Commander applications are being accepted NOW through Tuesday, April 9th (which is also the first after school clinic). Please remember that a prerequisite requirement is that you have accumulated 50 squad leader points before now.

Field Commander Clinic Dates– these are not required, but highly recommended.
April 9th, 11th, 16th, 18th, 23rd.
Squad Leader applications will be accepted starting on April 26th.

I have included the registration link below!

Canvassing
To promote this race, students are being asked to do a poster canvassing event on Tuesday, April 2nd. This is completely voluntary, but students will be traveling to the various Hilliard area businesses asking to simply hang our flyer in their stores as a way to spread the word about this event (we will not be asking for money). Sign-ups for this are in the band room as well as parent permission forms, which includes a spot for parent volunteers to help with driving students! We would love to have 60-70 people so that we cover as many Hilliard area business as possible, so please encourage your students to sign-up!
Volunteering and Donations
The Volunteer page is now closed. Please see the Donations Sign-Up Genius for what is still needed. All items can be brought to the Band Room. All Cliff Bars must be donated by Wednesday, April 24th for the bag stuffing, taking place that evening at Davidson.

Marching Band Practices and School Year calendar.
Now that we are into the school year, please remember that practice is everyday Monday- Thursday after school from 3-5pm. If you have an issue with attending all or part of a rehearsal, please be sure to communicate this to Mr. Shultz PRIOR to the absence. As always, being water and your best attitude to rehearsal. It may also be wise to bring a snack for after school as many students eat lunch before 11am. Thanks.
Please also see our Calendar of Events to make sure you know what is coming up on the horizon. We work hard to get everything we can possibly think of posted on that calendar. With that said, please reach out if you find something we have missed or incorrectly publicized- we would LOVE to know about those items so we can all stay accurately informed.
