Welcome back

Welcome back!

Our year is moving quickly and we have a lot to accomplish in this last month before the break.
Here are a few things to remember as we get ready for our December 15 Concert.

• Rehearsals before and after school are an essential part of a successful performance.  See the schedule below.  Open practice time is for all students.  Sectionals are for Concert and Symphonic band students.
• Student dress for concerts
• Casual -  Band T-shirt and school pants.  This is for performances such as football games, parades, Sandy Lake, etc
• Concert Black - 
• Both boys and girls may wear a Black Dress Shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes.  
• Boys may wear a jacket and tie but are not required to.Blue accents like a tie for boys or jewelry for girls are acceptable.  
• Girls may wear pants or a skirt.  Skirts must be knee length or longer - no exceptions.  Leggings and a short skirt is not acceptable.  Skirts above the knee are not acceptable for appearing on stage.  
•  
• December Concert Special Dress - Same as Concert Black but with Holiday accent colors.
