Letter Jackets and Patches

Senior students who have served the high school band program well will be eligible to purchase a letter jacket.
Students must have participated in the band program from the time of their enrollment in high school before their senior year and must participate through graduation of their senior year.
Students will attend all performances and UIL activities. Exceptions will be granted at the discretion of the band director (illness, emergencies, etc.).
Students not adhering to written disciplinary policies of the school and band will forfeit their eligibility for the senior award jacket. Any violation of these rules during their senior year may result in the forfeiture of the jacket.
The student must uphold the goals and standards of the band.
It is understood that withdrawal or dismissal from the band prior to graduation of his/her senior year results in forfeiture of the jacket.
A student with a physical challenge, who meets all other requirements, but cannot march, may qualify for an award after serving three years.
Additional ways to earn a letter jacket are to make Area Band AND/OR earn a 1st division at the State UIL Solo and Ensemble contest. These students will be eligible to purchase a letter jacket the following year, regardless of grade classification.
Any additional questions must be directed to your band director.

Patches are a great way to enhance your esprit de corps.
Many parents start collecting patches their student earns their freshman year and continue throughout high school. When the student receives their letter jacket, they have patches to show off their accomplishments.
Other parents wait until the jacket is earned, then want to order them all at once. However, many patches from prior years may not be available by that time.
