Calling All Band Uniforms!

The Groves Marching and Concert Bands have instituted a new uniform policy this year, requiring all uniforms and tuxes to remain in the school.  If your son or daughter is no longer in band, please return their marching and tux uniforms to the Band Room. Please put you name on the uniforms and tuxes.  Tuxedo shirts are yours to keep—but we need the rest of the uniform pieces.
