2021 marching band information
​


The Golden Cougar Band of Pride is back!

We are excited to announce that the Marching Band program will be back to normal for the 2021 Marching Season! All the practices, games and competitions are back on and we will be marching through it all to the Music of X, our show theme for 2021.

If you plan on marching with us this year it's important you let us know right away so we know how many people to plan on. Whether you are new or a returning member, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to let us know you are in for 2021.

After you register, you can download all of the mandatory paperwork at the bottom of this page. This paperwork must be turned in by the start of Band Camp to participate. You can mail it to GCBB, P.O. Box 14923, Clearwater, FL 33766-4923, or bring it to one of the paperwork turn-in events prior to Band Camp.

​We will also be reinstating the annual Band Fee, also know as the Fair Share, of $500 since we will be back to normal activities and normal expenses, but this fee can be made in payments and will need to be paid in full by October 1st. Remember, all of the things we do have a cost, and fundraising only goes so far. Without your fair share payment we could not make it through the season. If you have any challenges with the band fee you can reach out to Mr. Brown at GCBBpresident1@gmail.com to see how the Boosters can help you. Remember, volunteers with 75 + hours of service to the band during the previous year who have submitted the volunteer log to the Volunteer Coordinator may pay a discounted rate of $425. Volunteer Logs can be found on the Volunteer Page.

Also, some more good news! All new members will be getting all of their uniform pieces at no additional cost this year. Every new member will receive 1 Practice Shirt, 1 Polo Shirt, 1 Theme Shirt, 1 pair of gloves (if applicable) and 1 pair of Marching Shoes. Returning students would already have all of these things, but will get a new theme shirt for this year's show. Extra shirts and gloves as well as new shoes if you have outgrown your old ones will be available for order as well at an additional cost. The uniform order form is in the packet.

Welcome back Band of Pride, let's make 2021 the best year yet!

    By signing below, I acknowledge the fair share expectation of $500 per student, and commit to ensuring at least half the payment in by September 1st and the full amount by October 1st. Our family also commits to volunteering at least once during the band season, and to make every effort to participate in band fundraising efforts. I recognize these things are for the benefit of my child and the entire band program.

    If the payment of the fair share will impose a severe hardship on your family, please reach out to the Band Booster President for assistance
