CONCERT CLOTHES REMINDER
The dress code for performances was changed last year to align our look with the the middle schools. Variations were "grandfathered out", and the new look is now required.
GIRLS
- Black dress or a black blouse and skirt
- Dress/skirt needs to be mid-calf or floor length (no knee length items!)
- Concert clothes need to be black - dots, stripes and other designs are not acceptable; the primary color must be black
- Black slacks and blouse are also acceptable
BOYS
- Black dress pants
- Black dress shirt
- Black tie (long - not a bow tie)
- Black socks and black shoes(marching shoes are suggested)
- NOTE: Wind Symphony boys also wear a black coat, which will be available to check out from the uniform room before festival. Coats may not arrive for the March 1 concert at Central, so jackets will not be required until available.

PURCHASES BENEFIT STUDENTS
Several recent purchases have made a big difference in the daily progress of students. There are a few sources of funds as indicated below.
IB Music students as well as any interested student may now use the Smart Music computer program to practice scales, exercises, and solo literature on the band room computers. Smart Music provides accompaniments (piano, harpsichord, etc.) that students need for solo performances. Funding was provided by the BSRIMA.
Color guard performance floor - Funds from a combination of USL and the Blue Star Classic were used to replace the 20 year old performance floor. The new floor is much lighter and after it is painted, gives the color guard a fresh start.
Small dance costumes - Funds from USL were used to purchase a new school set of performance dresses. This new set is adding to our inventory of costuming available to our auxiliary performers. Last year, USL purchased the familiar black dresses seen in the last two field shows.
The band purchased three high quality used trumpets for only $900, valued at $3600 new. USL was able to make the funds available quickly before they were sold by the Pacific Crest Youth Arts Association. The trumpets are an upgrade for some students' instruments; a difference noticed immediately!
Students will soon be using a new sound system in class; the result of a grant from REEF. The system, when complete, will allow classes to listen to CDs, view DVD's, and use several online sources to learn music theory, tuning, and performance standards.
