Wear cross-training athletic footwear only!!! Marching is an athletic activity, and we will be out in the hot sun; dress appropriately. Wear loose, cool and lightweight school appropriate clothing. Bring a HAT to protect your head and face from the sun. Dress in layers in order to insulate your body from the cold.
Wear a hat in order to keep your body heat from escaping through your head. Most importantly, use common sense in determining what will be comfortable. We advise keeping a warm jacket in your locker. The members of the marching band appreciate the support of parents and friends, and it shows in the way they perform.
We strongly encourage family members and friends to come to competitions and support the band from the stands. It is embarrassing for our children to see large sections of the stands rooting and cheering for other bands but not have the same support from their own friends and family. If you would like to volunteer to help the band in any way, we would appreciate it greatly.
