Band Uniform Grade 5 + 6
All performances and concerts require students to dress in a uniform, like a team. Grade 5 + 6 students wear all black for concerts and performances - plain black shirt, plain black pants, black or dark colored shoes and socks. Long or short sleeved shirt, no logos or designs. Black pants or tights are acceptable. Skirts can be worn with black tights underneath.
Band Uniform Grade 7, 8, 9 *NEW*
All performances, trips, and concerts require students to dress in the regular formal ESMS Band Uniform in higher grades. All Grade 7, 8, 9 students wear a white, button-up tuxedo style shirt, which is purchased from ESMS at a cost of $40. This shirt will last students for their time in band at ESMS and will not need to be repurchased (shirts are sized big enough to allow for student growth spurts). These shirts are purchased from Mallabar Apparels and will be delivered to school in late-fall. This is the only acceptable uniform shirt for all performances in Grade 7, 8, 9. Students wear a school-owned bowtie and cummerbund (returned after each performance) and must have plain black dress pants (no jeans, shirt must be tucked into pants, no skirts permitted), dark colored socks and shoes.
