GRADUATION - May 17
All Symphonic Band members are expected to perform at Graduation on Friday, May 17 (except, of course, the graduates). Report to the Band Room no later than 6:15 p.m. Traffic will be crazy, so plan ahead. Gentlemen should wear a shirt with a collar, slacks/khakis, dress socks and dress shoes. Ladies should wear something nice - a dressy top and slacks, a nice top and a long skirt, or a long dress. Please remember that dress code applies in terms of skirt/dress length; also, no spaghetti straps, and no exposed midriffs.
The ceremony begins at 8:00 p.m. and is usually over by 9:00. Then we have to bring our equipment back to the Band Room.
