STEP 3: Make a Fairshare Payment

Click the Button Above For Information on Fairshare Fees, Due Dates and Payment Options

MANDATORY: As mentioned above, all students will be required to pay a minimum Fairshare down payment by the last day of May Band Camp in order to secure their overlay/competition uniform, their Color Guard performance uniform and/or their New Student Gear Bundles.  Students who do not make this payment on time risk forfeiting their spot on the marching field as they will not have the full required uniform.  All students must make this payment regardless of Fairshare waivers made in past years.

STEP 4: Order Any Additional Marching Gear

New BAND students will receive a New Student Bundle as a part of their Fairshare Down Payment including the following items:

Want an extra set of gloves or shirt? Did your feet grow a size over the summer? Both New and Returning BAND students can order additional desired gear via our Webstore (only available now through June 4th).  All pre-season sales via this site will close on June 4th to ensure order delivery in time for our July Band Camp delivery dates.

Color Guard members will order their new and returning student bundles via Mr. Brown after the audition proess is complete.

STEP 5: Purchase Additional REQUIRED Items Needed Before our First Game (BAND, Color Guard, confirm additional items needed with Director)

STEP 6: Complete All Forms in CHARMS 

All Students and Parents must sign the UIL 8 Hour Rule acknowledgement and the Student Expectation form located in the Documents section of your student's CHARMS account.  Use the buttons below to access login pages, handbooks or instructions for how to complete that step.

STEP 7: Upload Physical and Complete District Forms via Rank One Sport

All participants must complete the UIL required pre-participation physical for each school year.  You must also complete all online paperwork through Rank One. This is a CISD process and separate from any forms you complete in Charms. All paperwork should be available mid-April for the following school year and must be completed BEFORE the first day of summer band camp.

STEP 8: Download the BAND App

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.

You can find the links that will allow you to join the Band Parent and Guard Parent/Student Apps in CHARMS under Handouts and Files, look for the PDF file entitled "Band App Links."  If you cannot get into CHARMS, please request assistance with gaining access by contacting charms@grandoaksband.org.  

Students wanting to join the Student Band Apps (Band, Percussion or Sections specific) will need to be added by their directors or section leaders.

STEP 9: Purchase a Meal Plan

Due Date: Coming Soon
