Marching Uniforms and Concert Attire

We are asking parents to do something we’ve never asked of you before. Due to social distancing
limitations, we are unable to physically measure your student during band camp week as has historically
been done. We are asking for your help and best effort to provide us with as accurate (as possible)
measurements so that we can fit your student with a band uniform – marching and concert. We will need
up-to-date measurement for ALL STUDENTS to insure they have the appropriate sizing. Directions for
how to obtain these measurements are included in e-mail attachments. Measurements for women and
men are DIFFERENT, so please use the proper form. Please send a scanned copy of the completed
form or directly e-mail all measurements for your student to Charlie Christensen at [email protected]
by Friday, August 14th. Pricing for concert attire (full length gowns for women, tuxedo shirts for men) will
be sent at a later date.

Spirit Wear/Show Shirts

A few parents have asked about additional shirts for themselves or other family members.  We have worked with the shirt vendor to set up an online store where you can make these orders.  If your student is in the 2020/2021 OCHS Band—ONE short sleeved shirt for your student is INCLUDED in Band Fees for the year.  Please note that you would only order for them if you want extras or additional products.
 
The first order was delivered on the first day of camp.  Orders placed after Friday, July 17th will be delivered late August.  A portion of the proceeds for these sales will be donated back to the band.
 
Here is the link to OCHS Band Spirit Wear. There are lots of sizes and styles. They do have extended sizes. 

Band Directory

An OCHS Band Directory will be compiled and published among the band members this fall.  Participation in the directory is completely voluntary.  If you wish to be included in the directory, please complete the online form found at this link.
