The Panther Band received 1st Division Ratings from all three adjudicators at the UIL Region 25 Marching Contest on Saturday! This accomplishment is itself worth celebrating, but it also means that the Panther Band advances to compete in the UIL Area J Marching Contest in McKinney on Saturday, October 25. Details are still being finalized for that contest, but the tentative itinerary below shows what students and families can expect for that day.
TENTATIVE Itinerary: UIL Area J Marching Contest

Eligibility Check - End of 1st Quarter Eligibility Check - End of 1st Quarter

End of 1st Quarter grades are an eligibility checkpoint for extracurricular activities. A grade lower than 70 in any class (lower than 60 in an identified Honors/AP class) as of this Wednesday will result in the student losing eligibility for a period of 3 weeks starting at the end of the school day on Wednesday, October 15. Students who are passing at this eligibility check will remain eligible for the remainder of the fall semester. Ineligible students will not be allowed to participate in the following events:


  • Friday, October 24: Away Football Game vs Plano West
  • Saturday, October 25: UIL Area Marching Band Contest
  • Thursday, October 30: Home Football Game vs Prosper (Senior Night)
  • Thursday, November 6: Away Football Game vs McKinney Boyd


Students who lose eligibility for this period will have the opportunity to regain eligibility following the eligibility check on Friday, October 31. Students who meet eligibility requirements at this date will become eligible at the end of the school day on Friday, November 7. The October 31 grade check will not affect eligibility of students who passed the October 8 eligibility check.


Academically ineligible students are still required to attend and participate in all rehearsals during and outside of the school day.

With no football game or contest performance this week, the Panther Band's next performance will be at the Away Game vs Plano West on Friday, October 24. The itinerary for this game should look very similar to the previous away game.
