Uniform information
MUSICIAN UNIFORM ORDERS DUE ON JULY 8TH!
Musician Uniform Information
DINKLES ($41):
For RETURNING musicians, please find your Dinkles and try them on. If they do not fit there will be an opportunity to order new ones. Please consider donating your old ones to the uniform trailer.
For NEW musicians, there are old shoes that can be tried on prior to ordering new ones. There is a poor selection of wide width shoes to sample, but the company does offer that option when ordering. The best estimate for shoe size is to order based on sneaker size.
SUMMER POLO:
RETURNING and NEW musicians:
The red polo shirt used last year has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our supplier is looking for options for us but this means that everyone will have to order a new shirt this year. Unfortunately, there is no pricing yet but last year's shirt was $20 so I'm hoping it is close to that.
NEW musicians will have to provide their own khaki pants as part of the "summer uniform". The other pieces of that uniform are black socks and Dinkles. This will be worn when the temperature is 85 degrees or greater. Mr. Porter makes the decision and sends out communication about when this uniform is appropriate.
T-SHIRT ($11 each), RED JACKET ($50), GLOVES ($4/pair):
NEW musicians will be ordering black CV band T-shirts, a red CV marching band jacket, and black gloves. You will receive 2 T-shirts and 2 pairs of gloves with the opportunity to order more from an a la carte option on our order form. The red jacket will have the option to be embroidered with student name, etc at no additional cost.
RETURNING musicians can order new t-shirts, gloves, or a jacket, if needed, from the a la carte option on the order form.
EXTRA INFO:
NEW musicians...what else do you need? In addition to the above-mentioned khaki pants, you will supply your own black mesh shorts (or black leggings if preferred) as well as your own black tall socks.
All musicians must have their hair up in their shako (hat) so please plan accordingly. There are stretchy black headbands on the uniform trailer that can be used for the season to help hold up the loose ends. The uniform moms (Nicole Holland and Jessica Arcega) will help to do the hair but it will most likely be done poorly. FYI-Shakos are removed in the stands at football games.
Piercings have to be removed or covered up with band-aids for competitions. Nail polish and any other visible jewelry will also need to be absent for competitions.
If something doesn't fit properly, please let us know. Kids grow but uniforms do not and we want everyone to be comfortable all the way to Disney. It's very common to have to redo hat sizing so don't be shy to ask for help.
Order using the form below.

All members should complete this form so their information is added to the band directory.
