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.
Don’t forget about Scrips cards during the upcoming Holiday shopping season. You can earn funds towards your fair share account just by purchasing gift cards for the stores where you plan on shopping or as gifts for friends and family. The set-up instructions are on the Seminole Band website. http://www.seminoleband.org. Click on the Booster tab and then click on Fundraising. You can purchase gift cards for stores, and you receive rebates. www.shopwithscrip.com
Did you know that you can earn donations for The Warhawk Band just by shopping on Amazon? Yes, earn money for our band program for something that many of us already do! Please register for Amazon Smile and use the Smile portal for your Amazon purchases. Amazon will donate a portion of all eligible purchases directly to our band program. Anyone can register, you don't have to be a band booster or affiliated with our program. Ask your friends and family to register, or if they already participate, to consider designating us as one of the non-profits they donate to. Instructions are attached. Contact Trina Weatherly if you have any questions.
