MARCHING BAND UNIFORM CARE AND INSTRUCTIONS
 
Just a few brief instructions as we approach the Preview Show and the competitive season. The uniforms you have been assigned and specially fitted to add to the visual effect of the show and we want to make every attempt possible to keep them looking great for years to come. 
  • The uniforms will remain at the high school at all times, they must never be taken home.
  • You will be assigned a "bag number" for the season. Within the garment bag will be your uniform ( shirt and pants) .
  • You will need to wear a black t-shirt under your uniform and you may want to consider a long sleeved one as we get later in the season. You can wear shorts or thermal pants as long as any long pants do not show at the bottom of the uniform pants.
  • You will need to wear mid -calf length black socks
  • Always remember your marching band shoes for every performance. Shoes should be kept in a shoe bag or a plastic bag and taken home for cleaning after each competition
  • Before every show you will be given instructions by Mr. Keough about the timing of getting into your uniform. Sometimes on long journeys, this may mean getting dressed on the busses.
  • There is to be no eating in uniforms.
  • Following your performance, it is important that your uniform be hung correctly in the garment bag. Please ask another student or parent for help if you are not sure.
    • Pants should be folded along the pressed crease (seam to seam) and hung so that they lie flat on the hanger.
    • Then hang up your shirt over the hanger like you would to hang it in your closet.
    • Uniform bags need to be hung on the uniform racks in correct numerical order after being checked by a parent.   A PARENT MUST CHECK ALL UNIFORMS BEFORE THEY ARE HUNG UP!
Hair care for this season:
  • We will not be wearing hats of any kind this year.
  • All band members that play an instrument will need to have their hair pulled back into one or two French braids, as of now.
  • Rule of thumb if your hair can fit into even the smallest pony tail, your hair needs to be pulled back into a French braid
  • You will need to bring your own brush, hair elastics and bobby pins.
 
SHOES OR ANY OTHER ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT IN YOUR UNIFORM BAG.
 
If you have any questions about the uniform please let Mrs. LaBerge, Mrs. Vierkant or Mrs. Jannell know and we will be happy to answer them.
 
Looking forward to another amazing season!
 
Jan LaBerge, Lisa Vierkant and
Janet Jannell
