-Concert Band during 1st hour band.

-Symphonic Band during 2nd hour band.

-All band/orchestra uniforms will be at school on the day of group photos, so you will need to get dressed here. You can use bathrooms and locker rooms.

--Guys: dressy black shoes and socks are required. 

-Girls: appropriate footwear for your dress.

-Parents of guys may want to take a few moments to teach your young men how to tie a tie before next week Tuesday morning.

-Students will all be bringing uniforms home at the end of the day (Oct. 1), please make arrangements so that this can happen on this day. All uniforms that are not taken home on Thursday will be put back in the storage room.
