We need help for water duty!! The kids are still practicing during the week and will continue to do so throughout the marching season. We need more parent volunteers to help with this. We are seeing many shifts with no one signed up at all. Please look at the sign-up genius and let us know where you can help!

Students who participate in Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Studies, and the Percussion Ensemble have a “concert black” dress requirement. Male students wear tuxedos and female students wear long black dresses.  Payment should be dropped in the blue box or arranged with Beckie Biglin. 

Returning students can wear their attire from last year, if it still fits well, since no changes have been made to the formal wear requirements. New students will need to purchase their concert blacks. Arrangements have been made to order as a group to minimize price and shipping costs.

Specific ordering information, including exact prices, are included on the following pages.

Female Students: An order form, including a photo of the dress and a sizing chart, are provided on the attachment. The dresses should arrive & be distributed to the students by the end of November. The length will require alteration as they are all shipped with extra length to accommodate all girls’ heights. Alterations must be done in a timely manner since the Winter Concert is on December 12th. Girls are required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.

Male Students:  Tuxedos should arrive & be distributed to students by the end of November. Please have students try on the tuxedos right away in case further alterations are needed. Boys will also be required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.

For those that cannot afford to purchase their own concert attire, there are limited tuxes and dresses available that have been donated from band alumni students. Please note that not all sizes are available. If you need to borrow concert attire, please let us know so we can arrange a time to try on items available to borrow. You will need to have the items cleaned by a dry cleaner and returned at the end of the season. Shoes are not available for borrowing. You will have to provide your own.

We are still looking for chaperones/ prop parents for our trip to Lynchburg, VA. Please see the requirements listed. We need experienced chaperones on this trip as it is an overnight. All parents signed up (chaperones, uniforms, and prop team) are expected to assist in hotel chaperone duties as well as regular competition duties.

·       You are required to be an active Level 2 chaperone for this event.

·       Chaperones will need to attend the chaperone training meeting and sign the acknowledgement and agreement form. Seasoned chaperones will receive preference, & chaperone sign ups must be approved by Mr. Madrinan prior to the event. You will be notified if you have been selected.

·       Volunteers for this event will be selected prior to the trip. Because of this, all volunteers selected for this event will need to have previously served on water duty and on the chaperone, uniform, or prop teams during other events of this season.

***Please be advised there is a travel cost associated with serving on this event***
