Concerts are a formal event. We also realize that students need to own versatile clothing. For that reason, we hope that the concert uniform for performing ensembles will be formal, but also:

• Be worn for other formal occasions that a student might attend (church, wedding, funeral, “nice” dinner out, awards ceremony, etc.)

• Be cost effective because the parts (shirt, pants, etc.) are available locally, and are “normal” clothes that local stores carry

• Be less expensive than a formal uniform when a student grows and needs a new shirt, pants, etc. as the parts will be easier to replace

• Be widely available in Fort Collins area retail stores, allowing parents to shop around for the best price.

Students are responsible for providing their own concert attire. The Blevins Music Department has resources to assist families with significant financial need such as students with a fee waiver, families with a recent job loss, etc. Please contact Mr. Floyd as soon as possible if you need assistance in obtaining the required uniform.
