Marching Band Rehearsals
Wear comfortable shoes, closed toe, no flip flops. A light colored t-shirt, and shorts are appropriate. Students may want an extra t-shirt in case of a sudden rain shower. A towel to do warm ups in the parking lot is great.

Band Uniform parts consist of:
•    Black marching shoes – These are special marching band shoes that clean up well with shoe polish. They cost about $25 new.
•    Band Uniform top
•    Band Uniform pants
•    T-shirt / shorts to be worn under uniform for group changes. Students will change into and out of uniform in the Band Room.
•    Gloves (these can be purchased when the shoes are purchased). We suggest having several pairs. They cost about $3 per pair.
•    Black socks (these can also be purchased when the shoes are purchased). We suggest having several pairs exactly alike (especially if your dryer loves to eat socks).                 
Color Guard uniforms change from year to year.
Tips to remember while in uniform:
•    No visible jewelry - One small hoop is permitted in each ear
•    No make up (Guard is the exception, it is part of the uniform)
•    No Colored drinks, condiments, or other messy/greasy food while in uniform. Clear liquids only.
