ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT
Come to the band room, no later than 6:15pm (no earlier than 6:00 please) to warm up and get ready for the concert. You will leave your instrument case and coat in the band room and take your instrument and music to the gym or Atrium. Parents may wait in the gym or Atrium if they arrive early for the concert. Concerts will start at 6:30pm.

All students will receive an official East Prairie Band shirt to wear at all concerts (included in the $40 yearly band fee). Students will need to wear long dark pants along with their shirt at concerts and other band events - NO jeans, ripped pants or skirts. Please make sure you have the necessary clothes before the first concert!
Youth and adult size shirts will be available at the beginning of the school year. Shirts will be distributed to students a few weeks before the first concert. If your shirt does not fit properly, please let Mr. Berlinghof know. There are some extra shirts available in case you need a different size.
If you need dark pants for your child, contact Mr. Berlinghof. There are some lightly used black pants in the band room that have been donated to the East Prairie Band program, and they're available on a first come, first serve basis.
