Question 2

Jackets

Accepted Answer

Seniors have the option to purchase a senior jacket from Embroidery Design Group.(https://www.companycasuals.com/JeromeSeniorJacket/start.jsp) It is a windbreaker jacket with jersey knit lining and is available with or without a hood. The front pocket area can be personalized with a name and/or graduation year. Samples to try on for size will be available at the Senior Luncheon. Senior Jackets are not included in senior fees, and because they are a custom item, are non-refundable.

Question 3

Band Camp T-Shirts

Accepted Answer

Seniors arrive at band camp early to help set up and get the underclassmen checked in.  To help parents and students easily spot the seniors, they wear matching T-Shirts on check-in day.  This shirt is designed by the senior class and approved by Mr. Abrams.  It includes the name of the four shows the senior class performed in and often incorporates some sort of memory or inside joke.  The senior shirt is included in senior fees.

Question 4

Capes and Kilts

Accepted Answer

Capes and Kilts is a band camp tradition.  Each senior decorates a green cape (typically for ladies) or a green plaid kilt (typically for guys) that will be worn during the Senior Serenade on Friday night of band camp. The Senior Activities Committee purchases the capes and kilts and delivers them to students at the Senior Luncheon. Seniors should bring decorated capes/kilts to camp on a hanger. They will be displayed during dinner on Friday of camp, before the senior serenade.

Decorations can range from plain to silly to very ornate. Students may trade their cape/kilt with another student and decorate for that friend, or decorate with a group, or decorate on their own. The cost of the cape/kilt is included in senior fees.  However, any supplies used to decorate them are not.

What do you wear with Capes and Kilts?
 • With Kilt - white T-shirt
 • With Cape - black T-shirt and shorts

Decorating Suggestions:
 • Things that work for decorating
    • Puffy/fabric paint 
    • Sewing
    • Glue 
    • Sequins or faux fur edging
    • Fabric letters/light patches that hold meaning to the wearer
 • Things that DON’T WORK
    • Fabric pen (It doesn’t show up well and bleeds, especially on the capes.)
    • Things that add weight (again, worse for the capes).  It can get heavy and pull/choke.
