Hot Weather Uniform & Supplies

• Uniform (winds, percussion)

  • Khaki shorts - no cargo please
  • Black ankle socks
  • Black marching shoes (provided this week for new members)
  • Ladies will need to wear their hair in a ponytail
  • Gentlemen will need to be clean shaven
• Guard will have their own “out of uniform” outfit. Specifics will be given by Mr. Bass.

  • You can find this at music and arts for around $10

• Ponchos - can be from years past or a clear one

Rhodes Stadium Policies
The students will play to the home side of the stadium. Unfortunately, the district officials will not permit parents to crossover to the home side to watch or record. Please respect these policies.

Buses
Students will be on buses according to their section. Two chaperones will ride on each bus.

Dismissal
Students will be dismissed as a whole in the band hall. No students will be permitted to leave prior to dismissal. This ensures that all members have put their things away correctly and that the band hall is clean. We appreciate your patience concerning this policy. 

Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thank you!
IHKHS Staff
