All guys in Concert band need a white tuxedo shirt and black shoes/socks.
All girls in Concert band need black dress shoes and appropriate hosiery.
The rest of the uniform is provided by the band - and maintained by Mrs. B (thanks). Guys wear a black tuxedo and girls wear a long black concert dress.
Jazz Band members all need the same thing - white tux shirt, black pants, black shoes/socks.
Tux shirts are available from Skeffingtons at Northgate mall. Just a plain white tux shirt is what everyone needs.
Last but not least, if you need an inexpensive Christmas present for your band member - consider buying them a nice metronome. I like the BOSS DB-30. These are available at music stores or online.
Also - You can always talk to me about buying a new step-up instrument for your student. Nothing makes a student practice more than a new instrument - it is amazing!
Thanks
Mr. Roemer
