We will be in our full fall uniform for both the football game on Friday and our exhibition performance on Saturday. Students need to be sure they have a pair of LONG, BLACK socks. They must be completely black and have enough length to fully cover the ankle. In addition, the students are to wear their show shirt under the uniform jacket. We will discuss in more detail about proper wear and care of the uniform in rehearsals. Also, there is going to be a celebration of patriotism during the pregame ceremonies at the football game on Friday. It is critical that the students arrive no later than 6:00 this week as we need to be ready to line up for the pregame festivities at 6:50 and it will take some additional time to dress in the fall uniform as well.
