There is no requirement for color.

We wear hot weather uniforms for football games and performances when the temperature is extreme, usually the first 2-4 games of the year. We also wear hot weather uniforms for pep rallies, after performances at contest, etc..

Practice your instrument

It is absolutely vital for the success of our band that students practice over the summer. Please begin practicing the 1st mvt of the Romeo and Juliet show. It is expected that all members are able to play the 1st mvt by the beginning of camp(100-160bpm). Students who are not able to play show music at the beginning of camp may not be given a contest show spot. Please practice stand tunes also.
