3)

Register your child/children for both Marching Band and Band Camp in one online form, with the camp deposit.
The marching band drill is custom written based on the number of students in our band. If one person is missing, it affects the entire band.  Each student’s customized drill will be written following receipt of the band camp fee.  As such, the band camp fee is non-refundable to ensure a student’s commitment to the program. Thank you for understanding. ​​
You can register siblings in one form. 
Make payment via PayPal (preferred) at the end of the form, or send in a check.  Checks should be turned in to the Band Booster mailbox in the band office, or mailed to:
Cherokee Band Boosters, PO Box 366, Marlton, NJ  08053.

Order additional tour t-shirts, if you'd like. 
​Each child receives one short-sleeved tour t-shirt with registration. At times, band members need to wear the shirts on both Fridays and Saturdays, so both parents and kids find it helpful to have more than one. If you wish to order additional tour shirts for your child, or order for parents who want one for themselves, please order at the HerSport Store via the button below.  To enter the store, use code [TBD].  ​

To Do in August - 6 things:

1) 

Submit all medical forms, if needed, by August 7th, 2019, in time for Band Camp. 
  • If your child will need to take ANY medications, including over the counter medications (Tylenol or Advil, etc.) and vitamins, you need to have the Lenape Regional High School District/Cherokee Medication Form completed by your child's physician.
  • If your child needs to use an inhaler, epi-pen, or has diabetes, there are additional forms that need to be completed.   
Please plan ahead - some of the medical forms need to be completed by a physician, and many medical practices require 5 to 10 business days to complete forms. If you have questions about any of the medical forms, please contact Melissa Molloie via email at MMolloie@lrhsd.org  As she will be traveling this summer, please be sure to contact her via email.  
Visit the LRHSD Administration of Medication page for more information about medical forms for diabetes, asthma, epi-pens, etc.

The district activity fee payment portal is not available until August 1st.  Between August 1st to the 10th, please use the link below to make payment.
Please contact the Athletic Dept. Secretary, Mrs. D’Amato, at extension 2203​ if there are any issues with making the activity fee payment.  The fee must be paid prior to attending Band Camp; however, if a financial hardship arises, please contact the Cherokee Athletic Director, Scott Agnew, at ext. 2291 or sagnew@lrhsd.org.
