Tuxedo Shirts

Students in Concert and Symphonic Bands need to wear tuxedo shirts as part of the indoor concert uniform.  Tuxedo shirts are available at Michael’s (770-0354, 6140 20th Street, near Lowe's), the Uniform Shop (562-1999, beside World Gym, behind Outback on U.S.1) and Affairs of Elegance (951 Old Dixie Highway, 770-4481).  Be sure to visit the stores at least two weeks before you need the shirts in case the size you need is not in stock and needs to be ordered.

Teal Band Shirts

 

 

During school year 2005-2006, the official band shirt returned to the polo style shirt used in the past. The henley style used for the preceding few years will be accepted for the 2006-2007 school year as we transition to the polo style shirt. Therefore, if you own a teal henley band shirt, you do not need to buy a separate polo shirt. This band shirt is required for 7th and 8th grade students, and encouraged for 6th grade students. Band chaperones are also required to have a teal band shirt.

The polo shirts will be sold for $17.00. In addition, we will have a separate t-shirt for the end of year trip, at a cost of $5 or less. Identical shirts will make it easier to supervise students.
