I hope you all received Mr. McEnry’s earlier emails about the upcoming band camp dates and times. As disclosed in that email, I am providing you the information regarding formal wear costs and order deadlines.
PLEASE TRY ON YOUR TUX OR DRESS FROM LAST YEAR TO MAKE SURE THEY FIT PRIOR TO ARRIVING AT BAND CAMP.
For boys that will be playing in Percussion Ensemble, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band, Mr. Formal will be available on Wednesday, August 19th at noon to do measurements for your tuxes. Ordering extra button covers and cuff links is a good idea, as they tend to get lost. If you are unavailable during this time to get fitted you will be responsible to go into Mr. Formal on you own time. Your order will be due the last day of band camp, Friday, August 21st. If you are unable to turn in your order by Friday, you must contact Linda Chan or myself directly.
Girls in Percussion Ensemble and Wind Ensemble need to purchase their own dresses online through a different company, however Boosters will have a couple of used dresses to try on Wednesday, and possibly purchase. Sizes available are 10/12/14. The attached flyer gives the information on the dress to order. You will be responsible for hemming. You will also need black shoes and black nylons or trouser socks. You must place your order no later than August 31st. Please email me once your order has been placed, as we will be keeping track of this information.
Jazz Band girls will be purchasing their own dresses. We have found a dress at Macy’s. Dana Robertson will be coordinating this with you. You will also need to wear black shoes and nylons. We will discuss this in further detail at band camp.
Past band members: If you no longer fit in your tuxes or dresses, you will need to order new ones. Please be available to be fitted on Wednesday as well. Please bring your old tuxes and dresses to Wednesday’s practice if you would like to sell them. I will be available to help with selling them to current members, however you will be responsible on pricing. If you would like to donate them to Boosters, you can do that as well. Also, please check for all jewelry items. This is the time to buy the missing cuff links or button covers.
If you have any questions or need assistance with purchasing please feel free to contact me directly at 360-513-6029 or email at mary_annb@comcast.net or to Linda Chan at 360-448-8112 or lindachan@hotmail.com .
Sincerely,
MaryAnn Barham
