If you would like to purchase a polo shirt, they will start coming to rehearsals with us next week. The cost is $25. You can also reach out to us at info@mbmillenniumband.com to make arrangements to have a shirt reserved for you (or, if you&#8217;re getting this post to your email, you can just reply and we will receive that!) You do not have to purchase a shirt &#8211; we prefer forest green on top (or black) and black on the bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Please take a moment to check out: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbmillenniumband.com\/index.php\/members\/administrative-operations\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1094\">Administrative Operations<\/a> if you haven&#8217;t already done so.
