Winter Band Concert

Make sure you are getting your dress code attire, as your student/you will not be allowed to participate when out of concert dress code. 

All students are required to wear specific concert attire to perform at a West Forsyth Concert or performance. Students are required to wear either of these options: 

  1. A long black dress, with black dress shoes, preferably flats. Leggings or hose underneath the dress is encouraged.

  2. A white button up shirt with a white undershirt, black pants, black socks and black shoes.  A black suit coat or tuxedo may be worn. 

Failure to adhere to this dress policy will result in the student not being allowed to perform with the band and the consequences that come with that.  The band has limited amounts of concert attire available to the students upon request.
