Question 1

What is the dress code for the LGHS music ensembles?

Accepted Answer

Marching Band members are fitted for and assigned uniforms, including marching shoes, at the beginning of each school year. Each student also needs their own boxer shorts to wear under the uniform, and black socks tall enough to keep the ankles covered when marching. For Pep Band performances, members wear the current season’s field show T-shirt or Music Department polo, along with jeans and their Marching Band jacket.

Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, and Jazz Band members wear all black clothing and black shoes (long black socks if pants are worn). Please avoid denim, tennis shoes, very high heels, shiny material, or fishnet stockings.

Choir girls wear an official black “concert” dress (fitted and ordered through Choir class at the start of the year), black dress shoes (with a heel no higher than 1-1⁄2 inches), and hair away from the face (using a clip or hairband).  Boys wear a black suit (jacket and trousers), black tie (available for purchase through Music Boosters), black dress shoes, and black socks.

Question 2

Are parents allowed to park along the red curb when dropping off and picking up Music students?

Accepted Answer

NO. The curb is painted red because stopping there obstructs passage of emergency vehicles. Fire trucks have been unable to get through. In addition, parking along the curb obstructs vehicles that are legally parked in the adjacent parking spots, leaving them insufficient room to move in and out of their spaces and leading to collisions. Don’t park along the red curb!

Question 3

Do students who volunteer to work at Music Department events earn community service hours?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. If the hours worked are used to credit a student’s account for music program payment shares, then the student may not also earn credit for community service hours. However, at the discretion of the Music Director and Music Boosters Board, work at certain extracurricular performances may qualify for community service hours.
