CONCERTS AND ATTIRE:
A quick reminder that our first concert for 7th graders is Thursday January 11, 2024 in the MPMS gym. This is a required summative assessment for the students...please plan to be there! It is free and open to the public, bring the family! :)
As per the band handbook, in the past we have required parents to purchase a tuxedo shirt for 7th and 8th grade band performances. As a parent, I try to avoid a "one use" item and have decided to eliminate the tuxedos this year. Moving forward, the dress code for 7th and 8th grade MPMS band will be:
BOYS:
All Black. Black long sleeve dress shirt, solid black tie, black dress pants, solid black socks, black dress shoes
GIRLS:
All Black. Black long sleeve dress shirt, solid black tie, black dress pants, solid black socks, black dress shoes OR solid black blouse, full length black dress, black dress shoes
This will be the exact same requirement next year (meaning you don't have to buy it again if it fits), contains clothing options that your students can wear for various family events, and is in line with the area high school concert requirements (meaning you don't have to buy it again if it fits)
In an effort to make this easy and budget friendly, the same vendor that provides Green Level HS's band attire has made a student store for us as well.
You made order your student's clothing as a complete package here:

PLEASE NOTE: THIS MUST BE ORDERED FROM COUSIN'S NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 10, 2023.
If you have any questions, please email me at ERiggs@wcpss.net
