Performing Band Formal Concert Attire (SW, CBI, CBII) not for beginning band
It’s that time of year! Our Rogers Band students are nearing their first “formal’’ concert, and it is important they look the part! Our concert dress consists of an all-black concert attire, so students all look the same. It also looks professional on the concert stage! Students need to have all the parts of their uniform purchased by Friday, November 22nd, so it is ready to go for their Winter Concert on December 17th. Please see the examples in the handout for what is (and is not) acceptable “concert black” attire: Formal Concert Attire Handout!!
