*You can be enrolled in the class, but still feel uncomfortable with camp attendance. That is ok and your choice to make.
It is equally possible to want to choose Plan D and still want to attend band camp. That is also your choice to make. 

The "paper" WOrk

UCPS will be using the form designed by the NCHSAA to pre-screen all students returning to sports and marching band. The form is shown below and all answers will be captured electronically. 

In addition, UCPS is asking all students and adults returning to activities during the summer of 2020 to sign a Waiver/Release for Communicable Diseases including COVID-19. This form is captured electronically below.

In addition to the forms above, if you have not RSVP’d for band camp yet please do so and also filling out the sizing information we are still ordering "show shirts" as well as freshman items!  There are three separate forms that all MUST be completed
​(Band camp survey and sizing need to be done even if you or your child are not attending band camp)

  2. Daily Screenings before entering rehearsal for the first time. 
  3. Daily temperature checks before entering rehearsal
  4. Rehearsal groups are limited to 25 persons (Including instructors) on a single practice field and can last no longer than 90 minutes. 
  5. All PRHS band students are required to maintain a social distance of 15 feet in order to mitigate the dangers of airborne water droplets or aerosols. 
  6. After the first rehearsal students must take all instruments home and bring them each day so as to not enter the building or the enclosed storage space. 
  7. No sharing of instruments, mouthpieces, or sticks. 
  8. Students must bring their own water and hydration system to practice.
