End-of-Year Reminders
for Samohi Band!
Kiwanis Tryouts Due Tomorrow • Tux Drop-off This Saturday • Instrument Return Next Thursday • Senior Celebration Next Thursday
Tuxedo Drop-off
It's time to return any rental tuxedos that you ordered at the beginning of the year! Please use one of the following options to drop off.

Make sure that all the pieces are in the bag with no parts missing and that the student's name is on the return. Then bring it on one of the following two dates:

Option 1: THIS Saturday, May 23, at Samohi
Near 7th & Michigan Gate

  • 9:00-10:00 Last Name A through L
  • 10:00-11:00 Last Name M through Z

Please note that the campus will be closed and there will be NO access to the band room. If you left your tuxedo at school, please contact us ASAP. Mr. Aiello has agreed to sweep the band room and grab any tuxedos he sees on the rack, but you will NOT get credit for the return if we don't know it was yours!

Option 2: Wednesday, May 27, at the Elite Tuxedo Shop
2074 Westwood Blvd., LA, CA 90025

10:00-12:00 ONLY

Attached to the north side of the one-story building, there is a driveway that goes behind the store parking lot. They will be in the parking lot to receive the tuxedos.

Please be aware: If you do not return the tuxedo on either of these two dates, your credit card will be charged. Elite Tuxedo Shop is currently closed, so these are the ONLY times you will be able to return your tuxedo.
