Thank you for volunteering to maintain a band uniform closet. You will be responsible for maintaining the closet for the entire school year; this includes football, parade and concert season. If you are unable to maintain your closet, please let a board member know so we can find a replacement. This is a vital part in keeping our band members looking their best. Please follow the washing instructions on how the uniforms should be washed. Following these instructions will ensure a well maintained and clean looking uniform.

All uniforms are to be washed every other use unless circumstances call for them to be washed more often.

You will be issued a small repair kit. The kit will contain sewing needles, safety pins, navy blue, white and black thread, small and large crest buttons, and snaps. If you are in need of more supplies, please let a board member know and your kit will be replenished.

If the uniforms are in need of any repairs, such as buttons, snaps, hemming, etc., and you are not able to do these repairs, please let a board member know so we can make sure all repairs are taken care of before the next scheduled event.

Your volunteering is greatly appreciated and all band members will look their best at all times thanks to your efforts.

1. Uniforms should have a name tag in the jacket and pants.
2. Unbutton jacket.
3. Remove cord - DO NOT WASH.
4. Remove cape.
5. Wash cape separate from pants and jackets in COLD water using a detergent that DOES NOT contain BLEACH.
6. Dry cape separate from pants and jacket on lowest or delicate cycle in dryer.
7. Once dry, fold pants in half to crease them; place on hanger.
8. Reassemble the jacket with the cape on the left side and the cord on the right - the two small ropes go under the arm and the big cord goes on top of the sleeve. NOTE: Please pay special attention to the capes as you remove them from the jackets as section leaders/officers have a blue stripe on their cape.
9. Place jacket on hanger, place back in designated closet in band room by Wednesday of the next week to ensure all uniforms are accounted for.
