Marching Band uniform care & inf

1. Never eat in the uniform. No exceptions.

2. Wear light weight shorts (like gym shorts) under the uniform pants. No twill. No denim.

3. Girls can wear a sport bra or a tank top under the band t-shirt. The marching band changes into and
out of their uniforms in the same area. Privacy is not available.

4. A black band uniform t-shirt will be issued to each band member before each field show.
The t-shirt is to be left with the uniform mom so it can be washed for the next performance.

   5. Band shoes, black socks and gloves are to be brought to each field show; this is the student's
    responsibility. Gloves and a few extra clean pairs of black socks may be left in the student's
      uniform bag; always take dirty socks home.

6. Write your name in your band shoes with a silver Sharpie pen. Put name on inside wall or tongue of shoe.
Uniform moms will have Sharpies available for your student to use.

   7. One pair of black gloves will be provided to each band member at the beginning of marching season
     and they are to be worn for all competitions and football games. If you lose your gloves, the price to
     purchase a replacement pair of gloves will be $2.00. Drumline in excluded from wearing gloves.

8. After each performance each band member is to hang their uniform properly and put it back on
the uniform rack with their section. There will be uniform mom's available to help direct you.

   9. Each band member is to put their shako (hat) in their box which is labeled with their name. Before
      games or competitions, a gloved uniform mom will attach a plume to the shako. After the game or
    competition, the student will find a gloved uniform mom to have their plume removed and stored. The
    student will then put his/her shako back in their specific shako box and leave in the correct area for loading.

10. If a student forgets to turn in their black t-shirt to a uniform mom and at the end of a football game or
        competition, and it is lost, that student will need to call Denise Turley to let her know about the loss. and
        purchase a new t-shirt form her.

11. If a glove or a pair of gloves are lost or forgotten for a half-time show or competition, the student will
       need to talk with Denise Turley at school or on-site. Denise will give your student another pair of
       gloves, with their understanding that he/she is required to pay Denise $2.00 before the end of the following week.
       Denise will keep a record regarding lost items that need to be purchased and replaced by your student.
