Friday – meet the bus at by Lowes foods at the corner of Tryon Rd and Cary Parkway. Bring your concert outfit (all lack) from last year or the new outfit if you wish. (See below). Make sure you have a ride home from the concert.
Performance Outfits
We are changing from all black to white on top, black on bottom.
White and black will serve us well for formal concerts and be more comfortable for hot outdoor concerts if need be.
However, band council is still looking at options for some sort of band shirt. Once we finalize ideas, we will let you know.
Until then, the outfit for the spring outdoor concert is up in the air.
For Jazz on the Quad, Jazz Band will wear black and white and decide on guidelines for ties.

New Repair Shop
3 of the repair technicians who worked at Marsh Woodwinds for years have now opened their own shop on Capitol Blvd, just outside the beltline. I plan on using them for our school instruments.
