Panther Band Journal: Week of 9/1
Students will not have time to go home after school on days of away football games. Students are expected to report to Lovelady High School promptly at 3:30pm for a run-through of our halftime show. Students may wear the Summer Uniform (UG Shorts & Dri-Fit T-Shirt, athletic shoes w/ socks) for the run-through or change into the uniform during the break that follows.
The Band Boosters will provide a meal before all away games games. If a student has specific dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free, etc.), please email Dr. Knight no later than Tuesday at 12:00pm. A snack will be provided after the halftime performance, and students will be allowed to purchase food from the concession stand during the 3rd quarter of the game.
Students will contact their rides when we depart Williams Stadium to return to Princeton. We estimate our return will be around 11:00pm, but a number of factors can impact the actual ending time of the game. Students are expected to be picked up from Lovelady High School promptly upon dismissal. When picking up students after the game, families should wait for students in the large parking lot behind Lovelady High School (the band's normal practice lot) instead of driving through the school drop-off lanes. This will help keep students safe as they exit the building and regulate the flow of traffic exiting the lot.
We will hold one more make-up uniform fitting at 4:30pm on Wednesday, September 3rd for students who have not been sized for a uniform yet. All students MUST be fitted for a uniform this week. If you still need to be fitted and cannot attend on Wednesday afternoon, please email Dr. Knight as soon as possible to discuss alternatives.

All band and colorguard students are required to participate in extracurricular rehearsals outside of regular school hours. Our "normal" rehearsal schedule is Monday nights, 5:00-8:00pm, and Tuesday/Thursday afternoons, 3:30-6:00pm. However, this schedule may change in certain weeks to account for days off from school and special additional rehearsals.
Students and their families are strongly encouraged to review the weekly schedules provided near the bottom of each PBJ, as well as the official calendar on the high school band website, for the most accurate and current information. Any conflicts with required rehearsals must be communicated as explained in the Band Handbook. Failure to attend and fully participate in required rehearsals without proper communication may affect student grades and/or role in the competition show.
This week's rehearsal schedule:
- Tuesday, September 2, 3:30-6:00pm
- Saturday, September 6, 7:00-11:00am
