Details for Attending New York State Field Band Championships in Syracuse!
What: The 50th Anniversary New York State Field Band Conference Championships
When: Sunday, October 30th
Where: JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY
How:
Tickets to the 50th NYSFBC Conference Championships are available NOW! For the first time ever, the NYSFBC is offering pre-sale tickets. Not only that, but pre-sale tickets are cheaper than if you purchase them the day of the event ($23 presale, $25 at the door). Also, buying pre-sale tickets allows you more time to figure out how to get your tickets on your phone, which will be necessary as the JMA Wireless Dome only accepts mobile tickets. Discount tickets are available for seniors/students ($16 presale, $18 at the door).
Get your tickets now, save $2 a ticket, and come and support the hundreds of student musicians performing that day and celebrate the thousands of students who have participated in the 50 years of the New York State Field Band Conference!
Tickets can be purchased at the JMA Wireless Dome website.
There is also a streaming option if you are unavailable to attend in person: details here.
IMPORTANT: Travel Medical Records for Syracuse
For the first time in 3 years we are going on an overnight trip. Your child’s medical records that are on file with KHS MUST be current and must cover ANY medication your child must receive while on this trip.
All medications that your child need to take on this trip MUST be documented with the school nurse, with a script from your physician. This includes OVER THE COUNTER medications as well as prescription medication.
Below are two links for medical forms for medications to be on file. The first one is for the medical office so students can self administer: Med Form 1
The second link is for permission for an adult other than parent to administer the meds: Med Form 2
Again this includes over the counter medications like Tylenol, vitamins, decongestants (must have a doctor’s script) that are required to be taken daily.
The deadline for updates to the forms to be submitted to the NURSE’S OFFICE is next Tuesday October 25th. Please don’t wait until the last minute.
