This issue was put before the band and voted on. White top and
black bottoms was the way the majority voted. Not now
open for discussion!! Zip it up.
I've
been trying so hard not to say anything about this - because we wear black and
white for formal Kearsarge Community Band concerts, I have that, or I have
something probably worn before, but colorful. But I had one simple thought
...
Is it time to perhaps put this decision on the back burner for this
concert, vote on black and white (or other of band's choice/vote) for another
concert when there is more preparation time for players and just dress is nice,
clean, spring clothes on Saturday?
That would take away the problems for
many, wouldn't hurt anyone and we could look at this issue again in, say, the
fall when we do elections, etc? Just a thought...

Hi All,
I just want to throw in, in support of John's
comment, that I can't
afford to buy new clothes either. At this
point, I'm borrowing clothes
from my sister. Luckily I have black
shoes, but I do not have a good
dressy white top, and, seeing as I'm going
to be standing in front of
everyone for the horn piece, I'm stressing about
this. My sister's
style is not my style, and I'd feel more
comfortable on stage wearing my
own clothes. Which are excessively
colorful.
Basically my situation is, I'll wear the black and white, but
I'm not
going to look my best, and that's frustrating because I enjoy
dressing
up.
Okay, I've put in my two
cents.
Cheers,
Christine
