Concert Season:

 

For several decades, we have had a concert season uniform of either a black concert dress or a tuxedo.  We have decided to update this policy to allow for more flexibility and comfort for our students.  Effective 2/22/22, the following guidelines apply to concert attire:

• Students must be dressed in clothing that is entirely black.  Please do not have white or any other color on your clothing or shoes.

• You may wear your drillmasters if you would like.  Otherwise, please wear black dress shoes (no athletic shoes).

• Clothes should be "dressy" in nature.  Examples include:

  • Black slacks, black dress, or black skirt with black leggings.

  • Black dress shirt, turtle neck, mock turtle neck, mandarin collar, sweater, or other dressier tops are all appropriate.  

  • Please avoid denim, short-sleeved shirts (unless you are wearing a black sportcoat or other sleeved top).

  • You can also wear something more formal like a tie or sportcoat, but that is not required.

• If you would like to check out tux pants, jacket or a black dress, please see Mr. Boyden or Mr. Sarns and we would be happy to help.

 

Have fun with this!  Our hope is that you can wear something that makes you feel comfortable, looks great and projects how seriously we take our opportunity to perform for others.
