Parents,

Our marching band uniforms are machine washable and we have a team of parents that will wash uniforms and bring them back. This takes quite a few people to accomplish this; however, it is VERY easy and we send supplies home with you. Please volunteer for uniform cleaning by clicking the button below.

Cleaning Dates:

• Return on Thursday 10/14
  
• Pick up after UIL Area Contest (10/30) / Return on 11/4
• Last pick up TBD

Students, all volunteering will equate to hours towards your LETTER JACKET.

You will need a minimum of 40 service points (10 points = 1hour) and 10 performance points to earn a letter jacket

Here are two forms to view regarding eligibility.

If you are ineligible, you can still attend rehearsal with the idea that you will pass at the 9 weeks and regain eligibility.

• September 24 - 6 weeks UIL grade reporting. If the student scores below a 70 in a non advanced class (AP/PreAP/Dual), the student will loose eligibility a week later (week grace period) on Friday, October 1.
• October 15 - End of 1st 9 Weeks Term. Again, students can loose eligibility; however, they can gain back if they pass ALL courses.
• If you pass all courses at 1st 9 Weeks Term, YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE THE ENTIRE NEXT 9 WEEKS REGARDLESS OF GRADES.
• See the attached for more detailed information or print out.

Eligibility weirdness for the next 3 weeks.

• Students become ineligible Friday at 4:20PM if they failed a regular level class with a grade below 70. SO, ALL ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE THURSDAY GAME THIS WEEK
• Eligibility does not count during Fall Break when school is not in session. SO, ALL ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE TWO CONTESTS AND GAME OVER THE SPAN OF 10/9-10/17.

Your Charms profile is used to find birthdays, if it is not in Charms it will not be listed.

Saturday - Joseph Dillard | Caleb King

Sunday - Jaxon Babcock | Annalise Gutierrez | Macy Lloyd | Nicholas Teller
