Enrolled in class???

Posted by STBD on 9/17/2024, 8:05 am

I have searched the Side-by-Side and cannot seem to find the rule. It appears in the table of contents, but it does not seem to be in the document.

I have a student who was pulled from band because he needed another class to graduate. Providing this student passes all of his classes and is otherwise eligible, can he participate in marching contests? I thought that he could, but I have a coworker that thinks otherwise. Can somebody post the ruling on this?

Thanks in advance!

Everyone is correct below...your Co-worker is thinking about TMEA or ATSSB, that rule does apply to them.

I am not sure about TMEA. Maybe it is a Region Rule, School District, etc. But I have been retired a number of years. To the original poster, always good to clarify with your Region Secretary, Band Division TMEA folks, etc.

If he's a "member of your organization" then he can march. The end.

You determine what membership looks like.

(14) A student has a full schedule and cannot enroll in an athletic or marching band class. May the student participate in these activities? Yes, unless the local district has more restrictive requirements. UIL rules do not require a student to be enrolled in those classes in order to participate. However, the student would not be able to participate in any off-season athletics since he/she would not be enrolled in the class.

As long as they are eligible student who is enrolled in your school, meets credit requirements, etc they can still perform at both marching and concert contest.
