RETURNING MEMBERS
Returning members may also purchase any replacement gear needed.
MANDATORY ACCESSORIES
In addition to the issued band uniform and purchased member gear (team shorts, t-shirts, marching shoes, etc), every member (whether RRegiment or Non-Competitive participation) will need to have:
UNDERGARMENTS
sliders (compression/biker shorts)
a black tank top or cami
long black socks
Marching band shoes (returning members bring)
These items must be worn to the uniform fitting session as well as at every event in which students will be wearing a uniform, so we suggest owning multiples of each accessory (except for the marching shoes - only one pair is needed).
Examples of Compression Shorts (“Sliders”), Black Tank Top, Long Black Socks
