  • SENIOR NIGHT: Friday, September 22nd

    It is a tradition at Gulf Coast High School to host Senior night to thank the parents of our Seniors for their support and to recognize our Seniors for the hard work and dedication they have given to our school. We will do the same again this year on Friday, September 22, 2023 during pregame at our home football game. Parents of Seniors attending the game please meet on the track just past the home concession stand at 5:30 pm. Our announcer will introduce the Senior student band members and their parents as they walk across the track to be honored.

    Please allow us to honor you and your Senior student by attending Friday night’s game to be recognized. In order to have everything organized for our announcer, we ask that you please fill out the form below by Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

    ** Each Senior student will receive TWO free tickets to the football game, our GCHS Activities office will provide a sign up for those tickets at a later date.

    Please plan to attend the date specified above for your grade level. Please wear a tshirt, athletic shorts and socks to your uniform fitting. If you are a returning band member please try on your shoes, gloves and concert dress before you arrive to your uniform fitting to be sure they still fit – otherwise you may need to place an order for a new size.

    Whether you are a new or returning student, you will be required to attend the uniform fitting. This will be an opportunity to be measured for your band uniform to ensure a proper fit. You will also have the option to purchase new shoes, gloves, accessories, Spirit Wear and your home game meal cards.

    You will need to submit payment for your band fees – $375! Band fee payments can be made via cash, credit or check. Checks should be made payable to GCHS Band Aid Club. If your student has a credit in their band account from the previous year your student’s account balance will be available to you at uniform fitting.
