Uniforms

​​Concert Attire


Each student will receive a vest from the school as part of their uniform.  Students are expected to take care of their vest and return it at the end of the year. 

Each student is required to provide their own pair of black dress pants, black dress socks (long enough that no skin shows when the student is sitting down) and black dress shoes.   Students are also required to provide a long-sleeved dress shirt with a collar and cuffs.  For the junior groups, this shirt is white and for Senior Winds, Senior Jazz and Chamber Strings, the shirt is black.  The goal is a uniform, professional look for all groups. ​

THE UNIFORM YOU RECEIVE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MUST BE THE SAME UNIFORM YOU RETURN AT THE END OF THE YEAR.  You will be charged a fee of approximately $40 if you do not return your assigned uniform.  If you must change a uniform because of sizing, please ask your teacher to exchange it for you.  If you withdraw from the music program before the end of the year, you must return your uniform to your teacher ASAP.


All uniforms must be handed in at the end of the Finale Concerts in May at the uniform return table. It is your responsibility to make sure you are signed out for returning your uniform.
