***Please clean your instruments & shine your shoes!!!*****

From Disney Wardrobe:

Students-CURRENT season. Light layers, no puffy jackets. Bring your unique every day school look! You will have a few changes so bring some options for us. Shirts, button downs, cardigans, sweaters, thin jacket, casual dresses with or without leggings, jeans, chinos, shoes, jewelry, hats. Nothing dirty looking, no large rips in jeans. Patterns are great and preferred, but no tight patterns (ie close together stripes). logos are good to use, but no graphics/pictures on clothes. Bring clothing with color (ie jewel tones), just nothing bright or neon.

Disney gear is actually a no! How weird is that? College shirts are ok as long as they are official and not hand made…

We will also be using the full band uniform so please bring that as well. Thank you!

  • 7:00a — Leave for Stamford (you provide transportation)
  • 8:00a — The band should report to Westhill High School 125 Roxbury Rd. Stamford, CT 06905
