Attire

At Woodland Park Music - Beginning band , we not only prides our-self on having high standards for our musical performances, but also on how we look. We take how we look seriously. We showcase our talents with pride and show responsibility in how we behave and appear at all times. A concert is a special occasion and students’ attire should reflect that. Uniformity of dress truly enhances the whole event, creates fewer distractions for the audience, and is expected from students in the band program.

  • WPMS Band polo shirt
  • Black slacks / dress pants
  • Black Socks and shoes (no other color on shoes)
