In addition to the roster deadline, for Independent Teams, December 15, 2016 is also the deadline for sending in your proof of insurance for the 2017 season. Insurance can be a very confusing subject. Winter Guard International has done a good job of breaking down the type and amount of insurance required for competing with their organization and those standards also meet our requirements. If you need help in navigating Insurance you can find all the information you need HERE. Remember, you must list the FFCC as additional insured on the insurance certificate. You can use this address for Insurance purposes:

Florida Federation of Colorguards Circuit
1335 Kingsley Avenue, Box 1863
Orange Park, FL 32067-1863

For Independent Teams, if your Team Roster and proof of insurance is not received by the December 15, 2016 deadline, your team will be dropped from all current contests they have entered and lose all seeding priority for the 2017 regular season. Your team will be able to re-register once the roster and proof of insurance is received. However, in contests with a wait list, your team might lose the ability to attend shows that are at capacity.

“Winter is coming…” and it will be here before you know it. Be certain to turn in your rosters by the December 15, 2016 deadline. You can find the Scholastic Eligibility Form under the “Members” tab on the FFCC Homepage. This form is a “fillable PDF”, meaning you will be able to fill in all of the required information and the letter will come to you in an email that only requires a School Principal’s signature.  If you have students from different schools performing with a host school in the same school district, you will need to fill out a second form for those students.  There is a link to this multiple school form and a guide to filling in the correst information included on the single school form.

Independent Team Rosters need to list all personnel on the team and be signed by the Director of the team, verifying that they are in compliance with FFCC Policies and Procedures. Remember any student from High School programs competing in the FFCC must have the appropriate letters releasing them from their High School program. Details can be found in the FFCC Policy and Procedure Manual, under the “Member Resourses” tab on the FFCC Homepage.

If your Team Roster is not received by the December 15, 2016 deadline, your team will be dropped from all current contests they have entered and lose all seeding priority for the 2017 regular season. Your team will be able to re-register once the roster is received. However, in contests with a wait list, your team might lose the ability to attend shows that are at capacity.

Remember you can update your roster at any time, so it would be better to go ahead and fill it out prior to the deadline and then update it as needed.
