Renegade Regiment Uniform Fittings and Member Gear Pick Up

Our uniform and member gear fitting event will be Saturday, July 31. Please mark your calendars and watch out for signups. Sign-up times will be grouped by instrument family and specific for returning or new RR members. Students, sign up for your slot HERE!

Parents, please sign up to help Fit the Band. It’s an easy event, no experience necessary, and it helps us get this important part of our season kicked off right. Pick your slot HERE!

Be Ready for Marching Season with These Mandatory Items

Every band member will need to purchase sliders (compression shorts), a black tank top or cami, and tall black socks. These items must be worn to the uniform fitting on July 31 as well as every event in which students will be changing into a uniform, so you may want to get a few of each. If you have any questions, please email uniforms@unionbands.com.
