Uniforms
There are two required uniforms for orchestra
Students will wear “Concert Black” for formal concerts and the ‘Lassiter Orchestra t-shirt’ for a more casual setting such as performances at school, field trips, and informal concerts.
FORMAL UNIFORM
Option 1
Black long sleeve dress shirt, black dress slacks, black tie, black socks, and black dress shoes. The uniform must be ordered from Tuxedo Wholesaler so that there is uniformity in style, fabric, and color. Be sure to select black shirt, tie, and slacks.
IMPORTANT: The pants will require hemming, as they arrive full length. Please plan ahead to have this service completed prior to the first performance of the year.
