19) Discussion on Band Uniform Design - Ron Lewis.

Collinsville's band director Ron Lewis was congratulated for an outstanding effort and results with the band this year. Ron presented a proposed design for the new band uniforms. There was no official vote but direction was given to pursue further planning with board member Ted Clark being most vocal on wanting the "official" school colors of red, white & Columbia blue worn by the band at Friday night football games and other city events while conceeding the non-blue design recommended by Ron for judged marching competitions where school colors have no relevance. The initial cost estimate per uniform with the colors shown above was $286.50. The board directed adding blue features for local activities.
[I'll add a small editorial here that in my opinion most folks would be most pleased with the red/black/white design shown even at a home football game ... and that there are some in town that feel the columbia blue is the non-traditional school color. I don't care myself, but was amused to see the board go to such lengths to force the blue into the design. -- Ted Wright 4/4 ...
