Uniform:
This is a formal event, so we will dress accordingly.
o
Symphonic Band (Boles 4th period) will wear the
Boles Formal Uniform
o
All other students will wear nice dress clothes (what some
families might describe as “Sunday best”). Please no jeans, shorts, t-shirts,
or athletic shoes. Boys should wear khakis or dress slacks with a polo or, even
better, shirt and tie. Girls may wear a dress or skirt/blouse as long as you
are mindful of school dress code and how the skirt will work with your
instrument.
·
There are two components to this concert: performing and
being an audience member. Our behavior as an audience member is just as important
as how well we perform. All students must
stay for the entire concert. Grades can be lowered if students are
disruptive or disrespectful during another class’s performance.

It is important for all students to arrive at their
designated call time. Students that are late may not receive full credit for
