Registration and Rental Forms
2022-2023 WSHSB Tuition Fee Schedule
Instrument Rental Agreement
The Rental Agreement form is fillable using your computer. Simply type in the information on the computer (much preferred for clarity), and then print it and sign where necessary. Less desirable is to print it out and fill it in by hand. Either way, mail it to the director or return it at band.
DO NOT scan it and/or email it to the director.
If you currently have a band-owned instrument and want to continue renting it for the winter, spring or marching trimester, the rental fee per trimester/per instrument is $40. The form, with fee, must be completed, printed, mailed (or turned in at band) and RECEIVED by the respective registration deadline. ADULT HELPERS MUST ALSO COMPLETE A RENTAL FORM EACH TRIMESTER IF USING A WSHSB OWNED INSTRUMENT.
2023 ONLINE Marching Season Registration
Registration DEADLINE for current members is 4/27,
for new families it is May 25.
There is no paper form to complete, rather use the link above to register online.
One (1) ONLINE Marching Season Registration must be submitted by EVERY family for both adult helpers and student members, marching or not. There is a place to indicate "NO" and simply submit the form. Having this information will be most helpful in planning. It also saves time and keeps double-checking to a minimum. Non-answers are not helpful.
All families participating in marching season are required to volunteer for a minimum of two (2) hours during Marching Season. You must sign up on Sign-up Schedule first. Then enter those jobs on the Registration Form, indicating the volunteer position title(s) you signed up for.
Remember to submit any RENTAL FORM(S) AND FEE(S) at band or by mail once you are registered. The form must be completed, printed, mailed w/fee (or turned in at band) and RECEIVED by the deadline, April 27.
BOOSTER REQUIREMENTS
You must do the following before completing your registration form.
See our Booster Page for all Job Descriptions and the link to the WSHSB Online Sign-Up Schedule.

FOR THE SUMMER MARCHING TRIMESTER - One parent must volunteer for at least 2 Booster positions/slots for the marching trimester in which their student(s) is/are participating.

you are committing to do.
B. In the Booster section of the Registration form you will need to initial that online

completed.
