Uniform Stuff:

1. Remember your black socks and Dinkles. You can keep Dinkles in your garment bag. Take the socks home to wash. Guys.

2. Uniforms are on the rack in alphabetic order. Your name is on the rack and on the front pocket of the garment bag.

3. Your hat number is shown on the card on the front of your garment bag. The hats will be laid along the edge of the carpeting in numeric order. Gloves and gauntlets
are in the hat boxes.

5. Clarinets and flutes need to start early dressing for the first game because you'll need time to cut the fingertips off of your gloves.

6. Keep your gloves in your pants pocket - it's the only gloves you get all season.

7. If you have any problems with your uniform such as snaps falling off or pants too long, please see Mrs. Bjork in the Uniform Room before or after a game or contest. Please do not let these things go until the uniform is damaged.

8. After a game or contest, line up at the Uniform Room and hand your hat box, laid open with hat and gauntlets showing, back to the Uniform Crew members. Also neatly hang your pants and jacket and put them in the garment bag in your alphabetic place on the racks. Leave the garment bag UNzipped to allow the uniforms to air dry if sweaty.

9. Battery - since you have a contest this Sat., do NOT turn your hats into the Uniform Crew - just keep your hats and their boxes where you know where they are for Sat. morning.

10. Full Band - on the Friday game nights when we have a contest the next day, you will NOT turn in your hats after the game. Instead you will lay them open on the floor in hat # order where you found it Friday afternoon.
