CONCERT SHIRT FITTINGS 11/9! / CONCERT UNIFORM / BAND CALENDAR

CONCERT UNIFORM / ATTIRE

Our holiday band concert is Wednesday, December 8th at 7 p.m.  Students need to wear their formal concert attire for this and the remainder of our concerts for the school year (see below for uniform requirements).   If you have a shirt, tie, black pants and black shoes from previous years in HHS band and everything fits, you're all set!  If not, here's what you'll need to do:

Concert Shirt Fittings Tuesday, Nov. 9th! during 5th hour only (Concert Band):
This refers to any 9th grade, new student to the program or any student needing a new shirt.  This particular "tuxedo" shirt and tie are part of your "concert uniform" for high school band. 
Mr. Bourbonias from the Brighton Tux Shop is coming next Tuesday, November 9th during 5th hour (Concert Band) to do white, formal shirt fittings for concert band.  The shirts / ties will come in around the end of November/first of December.

PLEASE - order your shirt and tie on Tuesday 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.
  • Brighton Tux has requested that students getting fitted for shirts wear a mask!  We have masks in the band room if you need one.
Prices are:
White Formal Shirt - $19
Black Tie -$5
Combo - $23 (Shirt + Tie)
  • You pay by cash or check made to Howell HS Bands. Payment can be made on Tuesday OR when the shirts come in.  Formal shirts and ties will be worn at the next concert on December 8th. 
  • If you need financial assistance with obtaining your shirt/tie, please contact Mr. Smigell at smigellj@howellschools.com or Mrs. Allegoet at allegoel@howellschools.com

What if I can't get fitted for my shirt on Tuesday the 9th??????:
  • Go to Brighton Tux Shop to get fitted or call them if you know your size.  Shirts will be delivered to students at school so you only need to make one visit to the tux shop.
  • Brighton Tux Shop (8692 W. Grand River, Brighton - in front of Brighton Meijer)  CLICK HERE FOR A LINK TO BRIGHTON TUX SHOP WEBSITE
  • ORDER DEADLINE FROM BRIGHTON TUX IS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH!
WHAT IF I ONLY NEED A TIE??
No problem!  We will have ties available for purchase in the band room for $5 each

If none of these options work for you, Amazon carries the shirt:
