Please read the following below for how to care for your marching band uniform now that the season has ended. Now is a good time to get your uniform dry cleaned.

Please note: Marching Band students will need their uniforms again on Tuesday, December 20 for an in-school performance at EAMS.

• Ensure the jacket is hung on the hanger supplied at the beginning of the season.
• Hang the jacket OUTSIDE of the garment bag. Especially after Saturday's rain, the jacket must be aired out to dry.
• Pants should be hung on the creases. Please hang this OUTSIDE of the garment bag to air out after the rain on Saturday.
• Make sure hats are not pressed up against other items. The top of the hat should not be rubbing against anything in a closet.
• Guard: please adhere to the uniform care instructions given during uniform fittings. This document can also be found here.

INSTRUMENTALISTS: please return your white pants to the uniform room for dry cleaning by Thursday, December 15. You may bring them before or after school. They must be transported in their garment bag.
