Summer uniform: (uniform worn under marching uniform) consists of shirt ordered through the band office (students will receive these sometime during band camp in August); black socks that are long, i.e., must fit over leg calves; black band shoes; and black lightweight shorts-usually knee-length nylon-type material. This uniform must be worn at all performances, e.g., football game, parent night, competitions, exhibition shows, etc.

 

Uniform tips: Once uniforms have been fitted and blue travel bags have been assigned, purchase 2 or 3 pairs of black socks and keep them in your blue uniform travel bag. Be sure to take home gloves and socks and wash them in cool water and detergent and air dry gloves after each perfomance. Don't forget to bring them back and put them in your blue travel bag! Shoes should be taken home to be polished after each performance. The band is not only judged on their musical and marching performance but also on how they "look." Keep a large plastic (grocery-type bag) and a quart size bag in travel bag to separate marching shoes from glove when traveling.

 

Uniform Fitting Dates:  Please mark your calendars: Fittings are mandatory! If you are unable to come when scheduled, you must schedule a different fitting time and date.  Details will be posted later.  

 

Become a member of the Uniform Committee-we have a lot of fun 'fitting' the students for their uniforms the last weekend of July, helping them dress and undress at performances, preparing uniforms for competitions and travel, helping students put away uniforms after performances and assisting with cleaning the uniforms. We will also be helping them with their hats/shakos. You are not required to do all the different tasks we do; you may pick and choose the activities you are able to do, and that best fit your schedule. Some of the best reasons to join this committtee are getting to know the terrific people you will be working with and all the talented, wonderful band students, staff and pit crew!
