2 Total Paid______Muscle Shoals High School Band Uniform Guidelines-2012-2013

1. Uniforms will be stored in the Band Room. A Chaperone will check out/in uniforms before and after each performance. Before check in, each student must hang up uniform and place it in the garment bag. Hats will be returned to the appropriate box and checked in. Any uniform/hat that is not checked in will be considered missing, and that student will need to return to the band room to find the uniform.

2. All uniforms will remain in the band room at all times. In the event of a student leaving after a performance, the uniform will be removed and left with one of the chaperones so that they may check it in.

3. A cleaning fee will be paid to the band for having all the uniforms cleaned together. The fee is $35 for the fall semester and $15 for the spring semester.

4. Each student is responsible for purchasing his or her band shoes and gloves. A salesman will come to the school to take orders for these items during band camp.

5. If a uniform is in need of repair, or needs special cleaning, the student needs to notify one of the uniform committee workers who will be available before and after every performance. It is the responsibility of each student to take care of his or her uniform in such a way that no damage will occur.

6. There will be no eating in uniform except under special circumstances such as football games that we travel to. Even then, special instructions will be given by the director on the care of the uniforms. Parents-please do not bring your child items from the concession stand. They will be taken care of as a group.

7. Parents/Guardians will assume responsibility of covering the cost of lost or damaged uniform parts.

8. Gauntlets are to be kept in the uniform bag. Plumes will be distributed at performances. Black socks are worn with the uniform and are the responsibility of the band members.

9. Shoe and accessory bags are given to all band members. Please use them to store shoes, gauntlets and other items not allowed in the regular uniform bag. Write your name on the bags, shoes, etc. and store in your band locker.

I have read and understand the above, and agree to abide by these guidelines as part of my responsibility to the Muscle Shoals Band.
