Panther Band Journal: Week of 10/6

EVENTS THIS WEEK
Rehearsal: Thursday, October 9, 3:30-6:00pm
Although students are not in school on Thursday, our normal Thursday afternoon rehearsal will still take place. Students should plan to begin rehearsal promptly at 3:30pm at the Auxiliary Stadium.
Home Football Game vs Allen: Friday, October 10, 5:00pm call time
The itinerary for this game is very similar to other home games prior to Homecoming. We will meet at the Auxiliary Stadium at 5:00pm for a run-through of our halftime show before changing into uniforms and walking to Jackie Hendricks Stadium. One difference is that all brass, saxophones, and low reeds will carry the instruments in cases to the game. After the game, these instruments will be loaded into the semi-truck prior to students returning to Lovelady High School.
UIL Region Marching Contest: Saturday, October 11, 7:30am call time
On Saturday morning, we will meet at Lovelady High School at 7:30am to prepare for our performance at the UIL Region Marching Contest. The Band Boosters will provide a light breakfast prior to students changing into uniform and departing for Tom Kimbrough Stadium in Murphy. Our performance takes place at 11:30am.
Please read through the itineraries below for more details about these performanes.
Eligibility Check - End of 1st Quarter
The next eligibility check of the year is this Wednesday, October 8. 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. This 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.
