Uniform Guidelines
The uniform is an essential part of our activity and music boosters spend a great deal of time ensuring that each student is fitted with a uniform. It’s care, maintenance, and respect is everyone’s responsibility. The following guidelines have been established to ensure the longevity of our uniforms and to create consistency from member to member when participating in judged events.
· Black crew socks (no designs, logos, added color etc.)
· No earrings
· Hair up and tucked under helmet
· Short sleeve shirt under uniform
· No Jeans under uniform pants
· No tank tops
· No spaghetti strap top
ALL students are required to purchase the following item: Black marching shoes. Students are required to supply BLACK crew socks (no-show socks are not long enough). The socks can be ordered along with the shoes if you desire. All students are required to bring shoes and socks to every parade. These items should be clean. Also, please note that shoes and socks are NOT allowed to be kept in the uniform bag because they are too heavy and will rip the garment bag. Students are responsible for their own items. If a student would like to donate back their old shoes because they don’t fit anymore or they aren’t needed, please contact the uniform managers.
Included with your child’s uniform is an added black shirt (Parade season only). This shirt is a part of their uniform for parade season and MUST be worn to each performance.
Each shirt has a number assigned to it, in which your child will be given. This will be your child’s responsibility to take care of. There is a $15.00 fee for any shirt that is lost or ruined. Please be sure that the shirt is washed and ready for the next parade.
ALL SHIRTS ARE TO BE TURNED IN AT THE END OF THE LAST PARADE – OATKA FESTIVAL.
