Concert Shirt Fittings:
This refers to any 9th grade, new student to the program or any student needing a new shirt.
Mr. Bourbonias from the Brighton Tux Shop is coming this Thursday, November 1st during 7th hour to do white, formal shirt fittings. The shirts / ties will come in around the end of November.
PLEASE - order your shirt and tie on Thursday if you are a freshman or need a new shirt! Mr. Smigell would like all the shirts to be the same and ordering them all from Brighton Tux ensures they will be. These prices are also less than you can find at most places.
Prices are:
White Formal Shirt - $16
Black Tie -$4
Combo - $20 (Shirt + Tie)
You pay by cash or check made to Howell HS Bands. Payment can be made on Thursday or when the shirts come in. Formal shirts and ties will be worn at the next concert on December 11th.
New Wind Ensemble Jackets and Highlander Band Vests
Thanks to the band boosters and donations made to the band program, we are able to purchase new jackets for Wind Ensemble and vests for Highlander Band. Brighton Tux Shop will be fitting Wind Ensemble and Highlander Band for their new attire on Thursday, November 1st.
Like our marching band uniforms, the jackets and vests will be turned in after each concert and stored in the band room. Students in Wind Ensemble and Highlander Band will be assigned a jacket or vest for the school year. All bands wear their white formal shirt and tie for concert performances. Concert Band and Symphonic Band do NOT wear a jacket or vest.

Students are allowed to wear stuff under their uniform to keep warm (long-johns or under-armor helps out a lot), wear simple "beanie" hats under
their marching band hats as long as they are black / dark grey / dark
green, and gloves (some students put hand warmers inside their gloves to
help keep warm).
