8-Hour Form?!?!?

Posted by Not sure - on 9/19/2026, 8:39 pm

Okay - Don't judge - please.

I might not have been paying attention when I was supposed to. Or, maybe I deleted an email without reading it all the way through.

But -

I have a kid who just moved in and their parent is asking about completing a Parent 8-Hour UIL Acknowledgement (Agreement?) Form. They completed all our paperwork/forms and turned in the physical.

What form am I missing? Do I need to panic and run to the copier or do districts do this on their own sometimes?

Go copy these in the morning and get them signed: https://www.uiltexas.org/files/music/Parent_Student_MB_Acknowledgement_Form.pdf

FYI, in your agreement to register your band to Region, I believe you stated that you had already done this. Get it done ASAP.

You're supposed to have parents sign this, and then you keep it on file. We include it in the same packet with the handbook form, travel permission form, etc.

Umm... this is a mandatory form provided by UIL that's supposed to be filled out by every kid in your program. This has been a UIL mandate for going on fifteen years now ..
