Concert Uniforms November 14th, 16th
Most of the boys received their tuxedo jackets and pants last week. We will issue the remaining boys their concert uniforms and the girls their black dresses this week as follows:
Tuesday 11/4, after school starting at 2:45 - Senior and Junior girls, and any boy who has not yet received a uniform; with those participating in mock auditions going first;
Thursday 11/16, after school starting at 2:45 - Sophomore and Freshman girls, with those participating in mock auditions going first.
We will need 4 parent volunteers to help on each of the concert uniform distribution days, so if you can help please sign up below.

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. Please note that we will not have a tailor come in to do any hemming, so if your student needs to have his pants length adjusted you will need to do it yourself, or take the pants 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). Regardless of who you use to have the pants hemmed, please tell them to NOT CUT THE FABRIC when doing the hem.
To complete their Concert Uniform, each girl will need a pair of black flats or dress shoes with heels no higher than 2”.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
