So you want to become a MidWest Color Guard Circuit Member??

Here is step-by-step what you need to do:

Step #1- Download the Membership form

 

2008 Membership Application        (PDF format)   (revised 925/07)

2008 Membership Application   (Word document format)   (revised 9/25/07)

 

Step #2- Fill out the Membership form and mail it to Linda L. Koutsogianis, Treasurer.

If you have any questions about information asked for on the Membership form, please email or call Mickey Stisher, Howie Mogil or Marie Czapinski.  Their contact info can be found on the "Contacts" link over at the left. 

 

Step #3-  Payment of New Member Fees   Total $400

Fees for a New Member Unit are a total of $400 which includes $300 member fee which every unit pays plus the $100 surety bond.  This should be paid to the MidWest Color Guard Circuit and should be sent along with your membership form to Linda L. Koutsogianis prior to your first performance.  (Your surety bond will be transferred from year to year as long as you stay in good standing in the circuit and do not cancel scheduled performances at any shows.  If your unit completes all contests that you signed up for during the season but you will not be continuing as a member of the Circuit in the next season, your surety bond will be returned to you.  If your unit at any time cancels a performance that you signed up for, your surety bond will be forfeited to the show host school and you will be required to pay another surety bond before your unit can perform again.  Please check the MWCGC By-Laws to see reasons for missing scheduled performances that will NOT forfeit your surety bond.) 

 

Step #4-  That's it!

Once Linda L. Koutsogianis has received your Membership form and your New Member dues, then you are now considered a member unit of the Circuit!  Linda will then be asking you to download and send or fax additional forms and information which can be downloaded from the Director's Corner area of our website.  She will also be needing a roster of all members with names, addresses, birthdates and email addresses for our database ONLY and she will need an insurance certificate to show proof that your unit is insured.  Once she has received all the necessary forms and information from your unit prior to the first competition weekend, you are ready to begin competing in our circuit! 

 

For any questions on membership, email Linda Koutsogianis or Howie Mogil.
