How to Take Care of Your Uniform Jackets If you are missing any buttons or snaps, if  you have a broken zipper, or if  any of your seams start to open, please notify a chaperone or put a note in the Uniform Repairs envelope.  Jacket numbers are the red number located inside your coat. These numbers correspond to your hanger number. Keep them together. Hang your jacket in your garment bag on the hanger. Never lay your jacket on the floor or the ground. When you take your jacket off, fold the jacket inside out and lay it neatly over a chair or bleacher. Pants Straps can be adjusted to allow for enough torso length so you can sit comfortably.  Once your straps are pinned at the proper length, don't try to readjust them.  Your pant legs must be worn at least an inch off the ground (so that your pant leg falls no lower than halfway down the back of the shoe when you are standing.  When you wear your pants at the proper length, they won't tear; however, if your pants drag on the ground, you'll rip holes in the material.  This will prevent us from lengthening hems in the future. If you return pants with holes in them, you'll likely receive an obligation card.  We record all tears at the beginning and end of the marching band season.  Pant numbers are the red number located inside the pant. These numbers correspond to your hanger number. Keep them together. Hang pants by matching the pleated leg seams from the bottom and neatly hanging over hanger. This will minimize wrinkles and you will continue to look crisp and fresh. Store pants in garment bag. Never lay pants on the floor or the ground. Hats and Plumes Hats—Store hats in hat boxes on your shelf (not in your bag). Hats should fit snuggly and level with the brim resting above eyebrows. Straps are worn under the chin for “winds” and under the lip for drummers. Plumes—Plumes must be removed from their holders by pulling the wire ring down and out of the bottom. They are returned to their holders by inserting the the wire ring into the top of the holder and pulling through. Incorrectly inserting and removing the plume damages the feathers. Do not wear plumes in the rain. Store plumes in their holders inside of your uniform bag (not in the hat box!). Band Front Store uniform (leotard) in garment bag. If your uniform gets wet you may take it home and lay it flat to dry. Hanging wet uniforms will stretch and lengthen them. Do not put uniforms in the dryer with heat, they will shrink! Never lay uniform on the floor or ground. General Information Store your shoes in the bottom of your uniform bag. Band members, it's wise to keep extra black socks and a green henley shirt in your uniform bag. Band Front, it's equally wise to keep an extra pair of tights in your bag. It is your responsibility to keep track of all your uniform pieces. Be sure to hang things on hangers and put garment bags and hat boxes away in the uniform closet after events. If any part of your uniform is misplaced or damaged request assistance from Mr. Ceresini or a chaperone. Replacements or reassignments must be approved by Mr. Ceresini. (In other words, do not help yourself to a new coat, hat, pair of pants, or plume). DO NOT take uniforms home unless you obtain permission from Mr. Ceresini.
