Tour Behavior Guidelines (Revised May 09) In order for the tour to be an incredible experience for everyone, we all need to follow the same rules and regulations. Remember, you are not the only one on this trip. Your attitude and behavior affects the entire group. Please read this carefully. You will be expected to follow all rules at all times. 1. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO CONDUCT YOURSELF IN A CHRIST-LIKE MANNER AT ALL TIMES. 2. You are representing your parents, Shades Mountain Baptist Church, Student Choirs, and God. Make sure your actions and attitude don’t embarrass any of these parties. 3. You will be assigned a chaperone. Your chaperone must know who you are with and where you are at all times during this trip. 4. You are expected to have respect for, and be willing to obey any adult who is with us. 5. A good attitude is important at all times. No whining or complaining is allowed (even when you are tired). 6. Get plenty of rest! If you are too tired to give your best at a performance, then you are not presenting the best possible witness. 7. Portable music players are allowed only with headphones. You may NOT play your music out loud on the bus. ALL EQUIPMENT AND CDS ARE BROUGHT AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS. Do not bring music that is inappropriate to our mission. 8. No loud screaming, rough housing or obnoxious behavior on the bus! You will be asked to sit with a chaperone, if you can’t control yourself. 9. EXERCISE SELF CONTROL AT ALL TIMES!! Be disciplined and have a willing spirit. Do what you’re asked to do without complaining. 10. BE ON TIME!! Please do not hold up the entire group. 11. Be kind to each other. Think about other people’s feelings and control your tongue. Remember, a friend loveth at all times and the words you speak have the power to hurt or heal. 12. You may not leave the group at any time. 13. Be where you are supposed to be, doing what you’re supposed to be doing to the best of your abilities at all times. 14. In the hotel, NO guy is allowed in a girl’s room and NO girl is allowed in a guy’s room at anytime, for any reason, EVEN WITH THE DOOR OPEN!!! 15. Respect all church and hotel property and be ready to pay for anything you damage. 16. You are not allowed out of your hotel room after curfew time. If you need something, or have an emergency, call your chaperone. 17. No low riding pants. Bring a belt and use it. No low cut pants on guys or girls. 18. If there is a pool at the hotel, swimming will be allowed only if we have time. We will swim as a group at designated times. No one is to swim outside of the designated times. Girls should only wear one piece swim suits. Guys should not wear cutoffs, boxers, or gym shorts (actual swim suits, please). 19. Daily Devotional- When quiet time is called; it means absolutely no talking or moving about. Make sure that your Bible is with you or is accessible quickly. 20. No PDA. 21. No t-shirts with questionable writing or logos. 22. No piercing, hair colorings or otherwise altering your appearance while on tour. I’m sure this is not comprehensive. The director, chaperones, and workers, reserve the right to add to this list at any time. These rules and guidelines are meant for your safety and welfare of the group. Pease take them to heart and follow them. We have the right to notify the parents of any choir member who refuses to follow the aforementioned rule and we will do so if necessary. First Offense: Second Offense: Third Offense: The student will receive a warning. We will call home (no matter what time of day or night). The student will come home at the family’s expense. There are some “NO EXEPTION RULES” 1. No unauthorized medication (illegal substances). 2. No tobacco (smoking or chewing) 3. No alcoholic beverages. The behavior of any group on mission tour representing our church is taken very seriously. After discussing these rules with your student, please sign in the appropriate places. NO STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE BUS WITHOUT THIS FORM SIGNED AND TURNED IN. ________________________________ Print Parent’s Name ____________________________ Print Student’s Name ________________________________ Parent’s Signature ____________________________ Student’s Signature PERMISSION TO ADMINISTER OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION MEDICINE CARD I give permission for my child to have the following over the counter medications per recommended label dosage: ( ) acetaminophen (Tylenol) ( )pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) ( )Pepto-Bismol ( ) ibuprofen (Advil) ( )Benadryl ( )Immodium ( ) Other _________________________________________dosage_________________________ Please list any medicines you do not want your child to take:_____________________________________ Current medications/instructions____________________________________________________________ Allergies_______________________________________________________________________________ CHILDS NAME________________________________________________________________________________ PARENTS SIGNATURE___________________________________________________________________________ MEDICATIONS GIVEN ON TOUR (NURSES ONLY) DATE TIME MEDICATION INITIALS MEDICAL RELEASE AND PARENTAL CONSENT FORM Student Ministry Shades Mountain Baptist Church Sept. 1, 2014-August 31, 2015 Student’s Name Date of Birth Address: Social Security # Doctor’s Name Doctor’s Phone Father Mother Name Name Home Phone Home Phone Work Phone Work Phone Cell Phone Cell Phone Birthday Birthday Social Security # Social Security # Medical Insurance (ATTACH A COPY OF BOTH SIDES OF YOUR MEDICAL CARD) Name of Insured Carrier Policy Number Group No. Known Allergies List any medication or drugs taken regularly: LOCAL relative or friend to notify in case of an emergency and we cannot locate parent: Name Home phone Work Phone Cell Phone As the parent (or legal guardian), I undersigned, certify that my child, named on front, has my express permission to participate in all activities, of any nature, sponsored by Shades Mountain Baptist Church (SMBC) for the church year, September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013.
