We are in need of chaperones to help with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade on January 18.  Please contact Candy Kiernan if you are able to chaperone at (772) 708-7004
 
We are in need of one parent to help chaperone the 4-County Honor Band rehearsals on January 22 and 23.  Please contact Candy Kiernan if you are able to chaperone at (772) 708-7004

We will be discussing hosting Jazz and Middle School MPA, details of a proposed trip to Washington, DC for the 2017 school year, senior dinner, awards night, and marching uniforms at the January booster meeting. 

Uniform Information from handbook

12/6/2015

 
Here's the information from the handbook about the uniform if you need quick access to it:

CONCERT UNIFORM
Used for all concert season ensembles.

Gentlemen will wear a black long-sleeved dress shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes, black dress socks, black belt and a black neck-tie.

Ladies may elect to wear the same uniform as gentlemen or may wear a long-sleeved black gown, black dress shoes (please note that flats are not dress shoes ((please see below for examples of ladies' dress shoes), and black socks or stockings.

Uniforms must be cleaned and pressed when worn. Please see the uniform handout and review the inspection checklist for more specific information. 

Concert Uniforms Inspection Checklist:

Pants, and Dresses
  • Cleaned and pressed
  • Hemmed neatly and the appropriate length (pants should be one and one half inches and skirt should touch the floor when standing and the top of shoes when sitting)
Shirts and Ties

  • Ladies will wear flat black heel (1/2”-3/4” dress shoe NO open toed shoes OR flats)
  • Only black hosiery allowed; black socks for gentlemen (no see through and must cover to mid-calf) 
It is of high importance for the band to present a dignified professional image during public events and it is only appropriate that the personal grooming and appearance of individual members appropriately match and blend into the quality and professional image of our performance uniforms and dress. It is for this reason that we have adopted the following polices:
  • NO visible tattoos – please cover appropriately so as NOT to call attention to them;
  • While it is strongly recommended that there be NO visible jewelry worn, in the event where a student has piercings that may not be reasonably removable, very small studs that DO NOT call attention to the individual (either by size or color) will be allowed;
  • NO visible bracelets and rings that either call attention to the individual or might interfere with the playing of the instrument will be allowed;
Hair: 
  • Well groomed
  • Black Hair elastics– Clips must match hair color
  • A natural color
  • Black ribbons (thin ¼”) Must fit neatly into hat or must be tied out of face and may hang down past the uniform collar
  • Gentlemen must be clean shaven or have their facial hair groomed. 
Make-up:
  • Minimal
  • No heavy foundation, eye make-up, or glitter
  • No fingernail polish (nude or clear is ok)
  • No dirty fingernails
  • No glitter

See below for examples of dress shoes and slacks for ladies.
