Uniform Contracts - PAST DUE
All uniform contracts are past due. Please return uniform contracts and payments to Mrs. Niosi and Mrs. Martyak.
- Air out band jackets and ensure they are safely hung on the large black hanger.
- Sweat collars should be removed from the inside top of the jacket and washed by hand with dish soap.
- White gloves can also be washed by hand with dish soap and hung to dry.
- If your band jacket or black pants are wrinkled, please carefully use a steamer.
- All black pants should be hung on the hanger by first matching up the bottom of the pants ensuring the creases are on the outside corners.
- All students were also asked to write their initials on the inside of their white band shoes.
Thank you for your wonderful support in keeping your uniforms looking SHARP!
Contact Mrs. Niosi or Mrs. Martyak with all uniforms questions or repairs at uniforms@eahsmusic.org.

Uniform Update: DRY CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
It is the responsibility of each band member to keep his or her uniform clean and in excellent condition.
It is important that the band present an excellent appearance at ALL times.
Uniforms are to be DRY CLEANED ONLY.
The white sweat collars inside the Band Jacket, Honor Guard Jacket, and Drum Major Jacket should be removed and hand washed after each performance. Do not use bleach. White gloves are to be worn at each performance. These can be machine-washed and hung to dry. Additional pairs of gloves can be purchased for $3.00.
We have selected Lehigh Valley Dry Cleaners who can guarantee us that the whites will stay white and not turn gray. EVERYONE MUST USE THIS DRY CLEANER.
Please Note: DO NOT USE OVER THE COUNTER HOME DRY CLEANING KITS.
