Note the “Senior Night Celebration” that will follow the game. This causes for a bit of a later evening, but we do a very nice celebration for the Coventry Band seniors of the class of 2023. All students should plan to attend this event. The event will take place in the high school following the Senior Night game. Students will need to be picked up from the high school. I will send a remind when we are about 20 minutes from finishing up the celebration so rides can be to the school for pick-up

Uniform
Includes: Dinkles (they must be clean), black socks (calf/knee high without other markings), athletic shorts, Black 2023 Band T-shirt, Uniform Pants, Uniform Jacket, shako (hat), and black gloves (will be provided on Friday). Additionally, your hair should be neatly up so that it can fit inside the shako. If you’re not sure, ask a veteran member. Piercings need to be removed, replaced with something clear, or covered with a skin colored bandage. Bandanas, sunglasses, etc. are not a part of the uniform and points and/or 3rd quarter free time will be lost for not wearing the correct uniform. Once your uniform is on, it is to stay completely on unless a director tells you otherwise, this includes the shako and gloves.
Cold gear is acceptable so long as any layers under the uniform don’t distract from the uniform whether it be color or fit. Hats and gloves are acceptable in the stands and should black/neutral colored, or Coventry colors.
Guard, Mr. Ballog will communicate with you about uniform expectations.
Grade/3rd Quarter Freedom/Performance Eligibility
Please note that you do received a grade for marching band performances and rehearsals. Your grade is a reflection of you being present, on time, in the correct uniform, having all required things for the performance/rehearsal, and having your music checked off. Failure to do any of those things will result in the loss of points for your grade, 3rd quarter freedom privileges, and/or performance eligibility.
