Hello Grizzly Band Families!
This message is for all students and families of the GP Band programs!
First of all, thank you to those who attended our Parent Information Night last week. If you were unable to attend, here’s what you missed:
Below you will find the Uniform Requirements for the various Glacier Peak Bands. If you need to order a Concert Dress or Percussion Polo, the deadline for those items is September 23. We have a sizing line for the Concert dresses. If you need help determining what size to order, please have your student come to the Band Room at one of the following times for a dress fitting.
(NOTE: If your student was fitted for a Concert dress during Band Camp, you will be receiving a separate email with your students’ size and dress style selection.)
- Tuesday, September 17 after school (2:15 pm – 2:45 pm)
- Friday, September 21 during 1st & 3rd periods
- If you are unable to get fitted during any of these times, please email gphsbandboosters@gmail.com as soon as possible and we will try to arrange a time for a dress fitting
