Lettering Policy
A student may letter any or all of their years in High School. However, you may only receive one jacket regardless of how many AHS programs you letter in. Multiyear letter winners may order a “bar” for their letter. You must have 32 points total in order to letter.
The district will provide letter jackets. The student pays for all accessory items and patches. Students earning a letter will be given ordering instructions. It will be their responsibility to order the jacket. Once you have earned 32 points, please fill out the letter jacket form and return to Mr. Noyes.
*Any student that exits the band program pre-graduation, will forfeit his/her privilege to a letter jacket. Any patches paid for will be returned to the company and no refund will be given.
