Uniform
We will wear the full uniform for this game. This includes: Dinkles (they must be clean), black socks (calf/knee high without other markings), athletic shorts, 2026 Coventry Band T-shirt, Uniform Pants, Uniform Jacket, shako (hat), and CLEANwhite gloves (1st pair provided with uniform, additional can be purchased for $5). Additionally, your hair should be neatly up so that it can fit inside the shako and stay up when the shako is not on. 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.
Guard, Mr. Ballog will communicate with you about uniform expectations.
Grade/3rd Quarter Freedom/Performance Eligibility
Please note that since the beginning of the school year is upon us, you do received a grade for marching band performances and rehearsals. Your grade for games is a reflection of you being present, on time, in the correct uniform, having all required things for the performance, having your music checked off, etc. Failure to meet these expectations will result in the loss of points for your grade, 3rd quarter freedom privileges, and/or performance eligibility.
Please reach out with any questions!
