We must have an accurate height and weight information in order to fit your uniform / costume. Note these statistics when you complete the band camp confirmation form. The uniform check out schedule is noted below and on the Band Camp schedule. Each individual on the final roster will be assigned a specific time to report for a fitting.
No uniforms will be issued after Sunday, August 25. DO NOT MISS YOUR FITTING APPOINTMENT! Contact the Band Office prior to August 1 if you have a conflict with the uniform check out schedule below. Include your full name, instrument or section, and the nature of your conflict. We will not give anyone a uniform check out appointment outside the scheduled dates. However, we will work with you on the specific time of your appointment. You have plenty of time to adjust your work schedule to accommodate uniform check out.
Wear shorts and a t-shirt that will fit under the uniform for your uniform fitting appointment. Color guard members will receive instructions at rehearsal regarding appropriate uniform check out apparel.
Uniform check out will take place in rooms 31 and 32 in the 501 Building.

UNIFORM SUIT BAGS
The band program provides a light-weight suit bag that is to be used for game day and for travel when the uniforms are transported in the band truck. The suit bags are issued at check-out and are to be considered part of the uniform. They must be returned at the end of the season. The suit bags are color coded by section making it easier to find your uniform when the truck is unloaded. You may use your own garment bag during the season for home game days, if you wish.
KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR UNIFORM
Write down and memorize the inventory number for each of your uniform items. It is the marching band member's responsibility to keep track of each item. You will be charged for the replacement cost of any lost or damaged item. It is also a good practice to write your name inside of your marching shoes.
YOUR UNIFORM IS TO BE STORED HANGING IN A CLOSET. DO NOT STORE YOUR UNIFORM IN YOUR INSTRUMENT LOCKER OR THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR!
