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.
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: Dress orders & payment are due Friday, October 18th. An order form, including a photo of the dress and a sizing chart, are provided on the following pages. 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: Order forms and payment are due on Friday, October 18th. Tronn Goehring will do Tux fittings (representing The Memory Maker) in the uniform room from 7:00am till 9:03am on Thursday, October 17th. This is the only day for fittings, so please ensure that your student is in attendance at least long enough to be measured during this time frame. Gerard will give a class-pass to those that need to come to the fitting. 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.
