It is hard to believe that in just a couple weeks we will be fitting new members for uniforms. There is one garment that you will need to purchase on your own- Compression Shorts or Leggings. Please understand that you will be changing into your uniform in an open area, so your undergarment must be appropriate. Due to the design of our uniform and how it is form fitting, we will be use compression shorts/leggings under the uniform.

Since there are so many varieties (material and style) and prices of this product, I did not want to have this something that we purchase on your behalf. These will need to be at least 9 inches in length (no short shorts). Please let me know if you have any questions….but please do not ask me fashion advice. I don’t care what color either. YOU WILL NEED TO WEAR THESE ON YOUR UNIFORM FITTING DAY (below).

OCTOBER 8-16 Schedule

• Friday, October 8 - Football Game (4:30PM-11PM)
• Saturday, October 9 - McKinney Marching Invitational (we are the defending champs)
• Sunday, October 10-Wednesday, October 13 (4 days) - NO REHEARSAL
• Thursday, October 14 - Varsity Marching Rehearsal 9AM-4PM / Football Game
• Saturday, October 16 - UIL Regional Marching Contest (advancement to Area Level)
