Uniform Information
1. Each Band Member is responsible for the uniform that is issued to you. Each piece has a number and that number is assigned to you. You must return the uniform that is assigned to you at the end of the year. You are responsible for any damage to the uniform.
2. If you need to alter the uniform, please be aware that you may not cut or trim the uniform in any way. If the pants are too long, please turn up the hem. If you march in pants that are too long, you will put holes in the hems and you will be charged for the damage at the end of the year. You may turn up the hem, but, do not cut the hem. If the jacket sleeves are too long, you may turn them under, do not open the seams. Do not take in or let out the seam on any part of the uniform.
3. Do not spot clean your uniform. Do not iron your uniform. If your uniform needs to be cleaned, take top and bottom of the uniform to the cleaners at the same time. The uniforms must be professionally dry-cleaned. Do not dry-clean it at home. We have used Ruby's, Beverly and Fi-Del Cleaners.
4. Uniforms are to be hung up on hangars. They wrinkle very easily and if they are lying on the floor in your room or in the bottom of your locker, they will look terrible and that reflects on the entire organization.
5. If you keep your uniform in your band locker, the locker MUST have a lock on it. Any uniform found in an unlocked locker will be removed.
6. If your uniform needs to be repaired (buttons replaced, zippers fixed etc.), please see Mrs. Kordella at least 1/2 hour before the performance.
