Uniforms

All band students will have two uniforms: one for marching band and one for concert band. Each uniform has different requirements, listed below. Further information can be found in our band handbook. For any uniform related questions, contact a director.

Marching Uniforms

The traditional marching uniform is kept at school. It will be worn at all football games, competitions, and other appearances. Students will be fit for and assigned a uniform on registration day. They will be cleaned at home when directed (instructions below). This uniform consists of:

  • Marching Jacket
  • Bibbers (pants)
  • Shako & Hat wrap (no front ensemble and sousaphones)
  • Gloves (no percussion)
  • Gauntlets
  • Marching Shoes (NOT provided. These must be purchased. Our uniform shoe is the DSI Viper shoe in black [~$45]. They can be found online; we suggest looking here)

 Under this uniform, students must wear:

  • Black compression/spandex shorts
  • Black calf-high socks – above the ankle with no logos, symbols, or patterns
