Returning Marching Band Uniforms

Hello, Marching Band families, with only one event left for our wonderful Marching Band it is time to return the uniforms. On Friday December 13, bring your garment bags with uniforms and hand them on the outside of your locker. Please wash the purple Lycra shirt and bib pants using the following instructions. The shirt and bib pants must be washed before returning them to the band department. Seniors, please remember to remove your beautiful boutonniere from your jacket/overlay.

Machine wash bib pants in cold water with mild detergent (Woolite) on gentle or permanent-press cycle. (No bleach, no fabric softener). Place purple Lycra shirt in mesh bag (if available) machine wash in cold water with mild detergent (Woolite) on gentle cycle (No bleach, no fabric softener).

The Grub team would like to thank the amazing volunteers who helped during the Champs weekend and also during the entire band season. The volunteers who helped cook and bake in P-town, the volunteers who drove and carried trunk full loads and warm food for the big purple band, volunteers who helped with picking up food and pack them. The list goes on and on💜💛

Our hearts are full with love and we are already looking forward to the fun Grub events in 2025.

Happy rest of 2024!
