Uniform Care - Marching Band Uniforms
- Jackets should be hung OUTSIDE of the garment bag to air out. If you have not taken your jacket to the cleaners within the past few months, now is the best time to do so. We will have THREE back-to-back performances (concert, Memorial Day, graduation) in which we want to look our best.
- Sweat collars should be washed.
- Clean shoes & gloves.
- All white pants should have been returned to the uniform room.
Thank you for your help in making our uniforms look the best they possibly can.
Thank you!
Congratulations to our jazz band on a fantastic evening!
