The band teacher -in her wisdom- has decided the band needs a "more professional" look, and so has decreed they must all get black long-sleeved dress shirts in time for the concert in two weeks.

1) It's mid year. We all already purchased white dress shirts because that was the uniform and there has been one concert already.....

2) Long-sleeved black dress shirts are considered Winter Wear and as it's March, nobody has them in stock. Unless you are tiny or huge -and then there are some great deals to be had. Even the second hand stores are selling off long-sleeved stuff and have only toddler and 3XL sizes. With stains.

3) it's March. Every single sport and academic activity has state championships etc right now. Who has the time to hunt down a cheap black shirt and who wants to pay big $ for a shirt that will be worn once for a 7/8th grade band concert?
