Dear Parents of 8th Grade Band members:

If your child returned their band uniform already, please disregard this message.

I am writing to request that your child's Band uniform be returned by June 3, 2012.

Uniforms do not have to be washed or cleaned as the district will clean them over the summer.

Please put the entire uniform (jacket, pants or skirt, and bow tie) in a plastic bag with your child's name inside the bag on a piece of paper and bring it to the music room.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Tom Rudolph
