Jazz Band Attire

Mr. Stough and the members of the jazz band have decided to all wear matching vests for their performances. After much consultation and voting on about a dozen different styles/colors, here is the result (which includes a black bow tie)...

Each jazz band member has given me their size. The cost is $28 plus $2 per vest for shipping, for a total of $30. This INCLUDES a black bow tie!

Please send the money (in the form of a check made out to ACA Band) by this Friday, November 16th. It can be put in the band deposit box in the band room or given directly to me in the high school office. We need to have the vests in time for their December 1st performance!

Each jazz band member is responsible for purchasing their own tuxedo shirt, black pants and black dress shoes.

If you have any questions regarding any of the announcements, please email me at traceykirksey@knology.net.
