Uniform Guide
Uniforms
All students involved in instrumental music must have the appropriate uniforms for performances. The school provides most components of the uniform, but students must provide some pieces themselves. Students are permitted to use school uniforms at no cost. However, they liable for any lost items or damage exceeding normal wear and tear.
Concert Band & Orchestra
It is your responsibility to take excellent care of your concert uniform. Please hang it up as soon as you get home. Seniors and students not performing at graduation will return the uniform at the last concert in May. All students performing at graduation will return the uniform after the performance at graduation in June.

Due to variations in the weather, it is recommended that students have form fitting cold weather layers. Black or Solid dark colors are preferred. Performance fabrics are preferred for moisture wicking and warmth.

Many students find it beneficial to have extra black shirts, especially on weekends when the marching band has back-to-back events. Extra shirts can be purchased for $15 ($18 for sizes 2XL and 3XL) using the order form below. These will be available throughout the marching band season.
