  • Pay the Marching Uniform Fee of $15 to the ASB office (includes cleaning, shoes, gloves)
  • Get a lyre to hold music while marching. These are available at music stores for under $10. Bring the instrument when buying the lyre to fit it correctly. 

CONCERT BANDS (Concert band students need to have their dress clothes by the first concert.)
  • Concert attire for boys: dressy black pants, white or black dress shirt, black socks, and black dress shoes or Dinkle marching shoes. A blazer and/or tie  are not required but encouraged.

JAZZ BAND ( Jazz students need to have their dress clothes by the first concert.)
  • For concerts, boys typically dress in black dress clothes. They wear dressy black pants, black shirts, and black socks with black dress shoes. Some kids will wear a tie, perhaps a suit jacket, vest or suspenders, but those are optional. Jazz I men must wear white ties
  •  Girls wear mostly black dress or nice black pants, skirt/top.

BAND or ORCHESTRA T-SHIRTS: Cost $10. You can get your t-shirt order forms from Mr. Scherr. This is worn with jeans to events such as assemblies, basketball games when the band plays, etc.
Booster Group Meetings: 
We meet every second Tuesday of the month from 6:00-7:00 pm in the band room. This is the place to get involved in planning for upcoming events. Be sure your contact information is current to receive communications about agendas,  meeting minutes, and volunteer requests.
Fees and Fundraising:
Depending on the event, money earned goes either into students' ASB accounts or into the general booster fund for items such as Drum Major Camp, band awards, festivals, equipment, scholarships and much more. There are several ways students can earn money to be applied directly to their ASB Band account. The band fees are listed on the documents and fees page under the high school tab. CLICK HERE to be taken to that page. We hope you will come to a booster meeting to help support all of our music students and learn more about our fundraising events.
