Wondering how to join the NSSH Band? Here's how. Questions? Email a band director.
Step 1:
​Fill out the Student Information Form
Step 2:
​Obtain a Physical Exam
Every student who participates in marching band is required to have a physical exam performed by a medical doctor. The following form is due before the student can complete any summer band activity. Please complete the first page requesting information regarding your student's medical history. The doctor should fill out the back of the form with the results of the exam. 

We will host a Physical Day on Tuesday, May 9 from 2 to 5:30pm in the NSSH Band Hall. The cost of the physical will be $5. Your student may bring their payment in cash on the day of the exam. 

If you prefer to have your primary care physician complete the exam instead, please have them use the following form. ​
Step 3:
Pay Your Band Fees
Questions about payment plans or the balance of a student account? Please email a band director.
Payment may also be made in cash to a band director.
It is the philosophy of the NSSH Band that no student should be denied the privilege of band membership due to financial hardship. For options in meeting financial obligations, parents should contact the director.

Students who participate in marching band are required to pay a fee:
  • Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion students pay a $350 band fee
  • Color Guard students pay a $400 color guard fee
The purpose of the assessment fee is to help with the various expenses that are necessary to run a quality band program but are not covered by the school district. These include but are not limited to:
  • Meals (20 x $7 = $140)
  • Uniform cleaning ($30)
  • Props, materials and equipment ($50)
  • Consultant/design staff ($60)
  • Travel ($55)
  • Miscellaneous expenses ($15)
  • Color guard uniform and equipment ($50)
Many bands that compete at our level charge between $1,500 to $2,500 for their fall band fee.

In addition to the yearly band/color guard fee, students with school-owned instruments must pay a $75 Instrument Maintenance Fee. This includes all oboes, bassoons, bass clarinets, tenor saxophones, bari saxophones, french horns, euphoniums, tubas, and percussionists. It is to offset the cost of cleaning, maintaining and completing minor repairs. Any extensive damage that is a result of student negligence will be paid by the student responsible. The maintenance fee is due on or before Friday, June 2, 2023 for the student to have their instrument permanently checked out.  This is a district fee, not a booster fee therefore fundraising and student account cannot be used to pay the fee.  It must be paid by cash or check.
