Concert attendance is mandatory as this is a performance-based class. Not coming to the concert is similar to going to football practice but not going to the games. What's the good in that?
Concert attire for middle school is black pants and red school polo (ordered through the school). This is the uniform for band, chorus, and orchestra, so students will not need multiple uniforms if they are in multiple groups.
What to Wear
Tops: Red "WMS Music" polo. Students who have a "WMS Chorus" polo from previous years may just wear that one.
Bottoms: Black slacks, black knee-length skirt/dress, dress leggings (but not yoga or active pants)
Shoes: Black dress shoes, flats, heels, boots - all black.
What Not to Wear
General: Not-black
Tops: Tank tops, thin straps, crop tops, casual/graphic t-shirts.
Bottoms: Jeans (even if they're black), shorts, mini-skirts/dresses, activewear leggings.
Shoes: Work boots, sneakers that are any color other than black (so, like, Chucks with the white sole are out)
Concert attire is about the professionalism we want to bring to the stage. There are certain situations for which casual wear is appropriate, but for our concerts, we want to stay as uniform as possible and present ourselves well.
