Uniform Reminders

  • The band pants are hemmed at the shoe lace tie.  The hem should not break.  Uniforms must be clean and wrinkle free for performances.  Dinkles are to be clean and white, socks are to be real and white, gloves are to be white.  Make sure your child has their complete uniform before they come to school for a performance.

Remember, performance for a band is like a test in other classes, your child must be prepared, which includes a clean, pressed uniform, clean dinkles, clean white gloves, and clean socks.  Also, if you have not hemmed your child’s pants (which should have been done before the first performance to prevent damage to the pants), it needs to be done now.  Your child will be removed from the performace if they are not presentable.The travel uniform includes the blue band shirts and the baseball caps.  Travel uniform must be worn when the jackets are off, which includes band pants, dinkles and socks, band shirt, and baseball cap.  If your child does not have the blue band shirt, they will be required to wear the full band uniform at all times.  We have had too many students not abiding by the rules.
