Please Remember:
  • The patrons should remember you for how you sound, not for how you look. The focus is on you performing on your instrument; this is not a time for you to make a personal fashion statement.
  • Students arriving at school for a performance without proper concert attire will be expected to adhere to the attire guidelines and will be asked to change.
