Summer uniforms are used for parades, Tag Day, special performances and the first few games of the football season. We will use our show shirts as our summer
2020 show and have our fall schedule on the back. Shorts are black mesh with the WK Band Logo and pockets. Students will also need black, white or grey tennis shoes for the few times we are in our summer uniforms.
Developmental role for members of the band who may need additional time and experience prior to marching all performing events. Varsity Block members perform drill at all football games and potentially for some competitions. Members could fill openings should an injury occur. After one season, a student in Varsity Block should move into our competition drill.
Rookie Days, Spring Camp and July 4 Rehearsals Evaluated throughout the season for readiness to jump into a spot, regardless of instrument. Decisions will be made by our first week of band camp starting on July 22.
