MCHS Band Concert Dress Code:

Appropriate attire is as follows:

Boys

Black dress pants

Black or white dress shirt

Black socks & dress shoes

Optional: Black or white tie

Girls

Black dress pants with nice black or white top

Black dress shoes (with black socks or tights)

Girls please note

• Black tights/nylons are required if you are wearing a skirt or dress.
• Skirts must be just above the knee or longer - NO shorter! A skirt that only reaches your fingertips is still too short for sitting on a stage in a formal concert setting.
• Dresses and tops may be sleeveless (i.e., only open at the shoulder) – spaghetti strap or strapless tops/dresses are not allowed unless you are wearing a sweater over the dress.

If you are unsure if your outfit is appropriate, please see Mr. Anderson or Ms. Wych BEFORE the day of the concert!!
