GRADUATION - MAY 19

All Symphonic Band members will perform at Graduation on May 19.  Report time is 6:15 p.m.  ATTIRE:  Dress nicely, does not have to be all black.  Gentlemen should wear a shirt with a collar (short sleeve is OK), slacks, dress socks, and dress shoes.  A tie would be lovely, but is optional.  Ladies, wear something LONG that you would wear if your male companion was wearing a shirt with a collar, slacks, dress socks, and dress shoes.  No jeans, no sneakers, no crocs, no slides, no flip flops.

QUESTION:  Graduation is just for Marching Band, right?

ANSWER:  NOT RIGHT.  Everyone in a BAND CLASS (periods 2, 4, or 5) is expected to perform.  Students who do not perform will have a ZERO test grade added to the gradebook.
