T-Shirts!

Each year, the seventh and eighth grade bands wear uniforms.  These uniforms are very simple, but help us look great as we march in the fall and again in the spring.  We also wear them for yearbook pictures and Turkey Supper.  The first time we use them will be for our marching concert on September 30th.

This year, the uniform will again consist of a long sleeved BVMS Band T-shirt and blue jeans.  The jeans must be full-length (no jean shorts or capris) and can not have holes.  We will order shirts the week after Labor Day.  Shirts were tried on during band on Friday, and an order will be ready to go soon.

The cost of the shirt is $15.  Please bring a check made out to BVMS to Mrs. Baker.  If you prefer to pay in cash, please be prepared with exact change.  This can be brought at any time, but must be turned in by September 28th.

There are a few scholarships available, so if this cost is prohibitive for your family, please let us know.  We want everyone to be able to participate!
