Band Buzz: November 26, 2023
It's beginning to look a lot like concert season
Time to work off some calories
Hope everyone had a restful week off because it's almost time to get back into the thick of it as we continue to work toward our winter concert.
Volunteers Needed

Final prep for concert uniforms
Concert Uniforms were issued during the two weeks before Thanksgiving Break. If your student did not receive a uniform, please let the directors know ASAP. Concert season gets underway soon after Thanksgiving Break - Region Orchestra Concert 12/9, Band Winter Concert 12/12, Full Orchestra Winter Concert 12/14 - and everyone will need their uniforms complete and ready to go.
To complete their Concert Uniform, each boy will need a long-sleeved black dress shirt (no more white shirt and bow tie/cummerbund) and black dress shoes and socks. They may use their black marching shoes for their concert uniforms. To complete their Concert Uniform, each girl will need a pair of black flats or dress shoes with heels no higher than 2”.
Please note that we will not have a tailor come in to do any hemming, so if your student needs to have their pants or dress length adjusted you will need to do it yourself, or take them to a tailor to have them hemmed at your own expense. TA Tailor and Alterations will hem them for $10 if you tell them you are with the Clear Lake Band. Their address is 122 W. Bay Area Blvd. Webster, TX 77598 (in the shopping center at Hwy 3 and Bay Area anchored by Cookshack on one end and Dollar Tree on the other). For the boys pants, regardless of who you use to have the pants hemmed, please tell them to NOT CUT THE FABRIC when doing the hem. For the girls dresses it is OK to cut the fabric when hemming.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
