The school-provided marching band uniform includes Pants (also know as Bibs), a Jacket with attached Hip Skirt, a Hat (two pieces: hat band, hat wrap), and two Gauntlets (worn around the wrists). Students are provided with a garment bag and hat box to store these items. Only the school-provided uniform pieces listed above are stored in the garment bag and hat box. Student’s shoes, socks, gloves, music, flip folders, etc should be taken home by the student after every performance.
Additional items are purchased by the students, including marching shoes, gloves, a dry fit shirt and black shorts. These are ordered on Registration Day during Band Camp.
The Pants and Jacket/Hip Skirt are washed regularly throughout the marching season by members of the Uniform Committee. Parent volunteers will take home 10-12 uniforms to wash after a football game or contest and return them to the band hall before the next performance. The uniforms are easy to wash in a home washing machine and dryer. If you are interested in joining the Uniform Committee, email Yvette Watson at uniforms@cainband.org.
