Due to the close proximity with one another in classes and competitions, it is important to remember the need for good personal hygiene (i.e. regular bathing and/or deodorant).
5.
Since we are given the privilege of using Calverton Elementary and Martin Luther King Middle Schools’ facilities for our practices, there are certain rules we need to follow:
·
The “practice room” is open to participants of the current class only. NO PARENTS, SIBLINGS OR FRIENDS ARE ALLOWED IN THE PRACTICE ROOM.
·
Due to safely regulations of the school, unsupervised children in the building, after school hours is a violation of our agreement with the school. We reserve the right to alert the authorities if your child is not picked up within fifteen (15) minutes of the end of practice.
6.
During practice we expect the students to be respectful of the coaches and fellow students. Should behavioral problems become an issue, parents will be contacted. The coaches reserve the right to excuse any student from practice and/or competition(s) and/or the Corps should the behavioral problems continue.
7.
PARENTS AND/OR GUARDIANS: We are a volunteer organization and we need your support and assistance to make this Corps function properly. We know that many of you will have suggestions and ideas and we welcome those, but we also need your help in putting those ideas in practice.
