Mighty Mustang Band

Why “Concert Black”? The attire we wear is a reflection of our professionalism and appreciation for the music being played. This style of performance clothing is intended to provide a modern and uniform look, as well as be a bit more comfortable for our student musicians. 

Listed below are the expected components of each student’s concert black attire along with a few options in exemplar. Note: individuals are free to choose what they wear as long as they stay within the provided guidelines. If a student wears something that is deemed inappropriate for performance, they will be asked to wear one of the items that we have on-hand. Please feel free to see Mr. McCullough if you would like advance feedback regarding your attire choices. 

Expected Components

• Black dress pants, skirt, or dress

  • Jeans and sweatpants are not acceptable 

• Black pantyhose (with dresses and skirts) and/or solid black socks that cover the ankle (with pants and dresses)

  • No patterns or logos should be visible on the socks or pantyhose

  • Athletic shoes, flip-flops, or sandals are not acceptable
