Tag Day Thank you!
WOW! Thank you to all the parent volunteers and students who spent a beautiful Saturday morning working together to help our band program. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year and we appreciate each and every one that volunteered their time. Thank you to Lisa Vaillancourt who managed all the details and pre-planning for this massive undertaking again this year!
Concert Uniforms
Concert Uniforms fittings for main campus bands only, are 8/28 and 8/29 during the school day, during block bells
There are no individual fittings rooms, students should wear slim fitting shorts and shirts for fitting day. Those uniforms not in need of alterations will be sent home with your student on those days.
NOTE – Symphonic Winds for girls:
•Dress $70.00 – purchased by the students and hemmed on their own
•Pearl Necklace $8.00 – purchased by the students
These items are purchased and kept by the students and a check made payable to the Upbeat Club must be brought on fitting day and turned in to Mrs. Smith so it can be ordered in time for the concert.
For all Bands the students will be responsible for providing:
•White Tuxedo shirt – available at Hobby Lobby, check site for coupon
•Black shoes (drill masters or dress shoes, closed toe, no sandals)
•Black socks for all students (to cover ankles, tops of foot cannot be bare,)
•Bow tie $5.00 and cummerbund $10.00 (black or red dependent on band placement)
Bow tie and cummerbund sales will take place on September 10th during 4th, 5th and 6th period. Payment for the items are due the day of purchase (9/10) , checks made payable to the Upbeat Club. If you have a bow tie/cummerbund from last year and need a different color, we can do an exchange for items that are in good condition.
Volunteers needed to help get the kids done during the allotted time. We also need hemmers and help with alterations that can be done on your own time.
