Female Instrumentalist Action Item
The band does not currently own enough concert dresses for each female to receive a dress. Females wishing to wear a dress (instead of a tux) will be asked to provide their own solid black dress for concert season. You must have your dress before pre-UIL on March 6th.
Here are some important things to note when purchasing a dress:
- Dresses should be long sleeved or not reveal too much skin (no spaghetti straps)
- Dresses should be floor length
- Dresses must be solid black (no glitter, sequins, etc)
The district is aware that we do not have dresses, but there is not currently a solution on the horizon.
