Can a student participate in athletics and band?
Yes. If a student is a member of the marching band, that becomes their fall activity and they would not be able to participate in a fall sport. They will, however, be able to participate during any other season. Non marching band members can participate in athletics year round. The Band and Athletic departments work closely together to arrange practice time and rehearsal schedules to accommodate students participating in both activities. It is not always easy, and does require some advanced planning, but most conflicts are worked out with good communication between students, parent, coach, and band director. The student must take initial responsibility for working out conflicts by communicating with the coaches and band staff.
