*The Directors will manage this step, collecting all paperwork
MANDATORY: All participants must complete the UIL required pre-participation physical for each school year. You must also complete all online paperwork through Rank One (opens 4/1/25). This is a CISD process and separate from any forms described above. Your student will not be allowed to march in July until this process is complete.
Visit the GOHS Sports Medicine page for information about the process required for the 2025-2026 school year. Physical forms are available for download on that site or the buttons below if you want to have your student's physical done with a private physician. Physicals are also offered by Houston Methodist for $25 (payable via School Cash Online) and will take place at the school. You must bring a copy of the Physical Consent form to have your student's physical done at school, click the button below to download and print a copy.
EMAIL A COPY OF YOUR COMPLETED PHYSICAL FORM TO TODD MATZ (TMATZ@CONROEISD.NET) ASAP TO ENSURE THAT IT GETS PLACED INTO THE RANK ONE SYSTEM. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO VERIFY RECEIPT WITHIN A FEW DAYS BY CHECKING RANK ONE TO SEE IF THE PHYSICAL IS MARKED AS COMPLETE. TAKE A PHOTO OF ANY PHYSICAL COPY YOU MAY HAVE AS THEY CAN GET LOST! PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL THEM TO THE DIRECTORS OR HAND THEM TO THE DIRECTORS.
NOTE: Beware of the extra "links" on the RankOne page, as their site allows ads which may end up asking you for a credit card or otherwise "phish" for information. Please see the screenshot below that shows the only two buttons you should click on the RankOne Parent Portal (the two blue buttons, circled).
MANDATORY: This app is how the Directors will communicate with both Students and Parents. Want to know about last minute date changes? What time the bus will be at the school? Competition updates? This is the place.
Download the App from your phone's App Store. Instructions on how to join the app were sent out by directors. Please email communications@grandoaksband.org if you need the codes to join.
Due Date: August 5th
The Marching Season Meal Plan is an option for students who wish to receive a hot meal in advance of each game from one of our partnering restaurants (Chick-fil-A, Jason's Deli, and Raising Cane's in 2024). There is a fixed cost per student due in advance of the first game. The deadline for submission of meal plan requests will be 8/5/2025. The cost for the 2025 Marching Season meal plan is $125, covering every game and every marching contest.
Meal Plan participation is voluntary and is NOT included in the Fairshare payment. All students must complete the meal plan order form and indicate if they will or will not participate in the Meal Plan. If you have multiple students in Band and/or Color Guard, complete one form per student. Students who do not enroll in the Meal Plan will need to provide their own food before every football game and for marching competitions.
