Students who participate in Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Studies, and the Percussion Ensemble have a “concert black” dress requirement. Male students wear tuxedoes, and female students wear long black dresses. Returning students can wear their attire from last year, as long 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. See attachments for ordering.
Male Students: Tux fittings will be done by Tronn Goehring (representing The Memory Maker) in the uniform room during the school day on Wednesday, September 26th. This is the only day for fittings, so please ensure that your student is in attendance at least long enough to be measured during his band class. The price for a full tuxedo is $165. Individual pieces will also be available for purchase, and the prices for these items are on the attached order form. Order forms and payment are due on Friday, September 21st. 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.
Female Students: Dress orders & payment are due Friday, September 21st. An order form, including a photo of the dress and a sizing chart, are provided on the following pages. The price will be $64 (the same as last year). 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 13th. Girls are required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.
