One band, One look
08-09 Uniform Update
Uniform Fittings
Uniform fittings will take place during the week of August
18, first week of band camp. The schedule is listed
below.
Students
will
be dismissed from practice
five at a time to try on uniforms.
Schedule:
Seniors:
Monday, Aug.
18 1 PM to 8 PM
Juniors:
Tuesday, Aug. 19 8 AM to 4 PM
Sophomores: Wednesday, Aug. 20 8 AM to 4 PM
Freshmen:
Thursday, Aug. 21 8 AM to 4 PM
Band Front: Friday, August 22 8 AM to
1 PM
The Uniform Committee will be at school
on Monday, August 25 from 5:30
to
6:30
p.m.
for anyone who missed their fitting during the week of
August 13.
Parents:
if
a
uniform needs to be
hemmed,
please DO NOT cut the material.
It is fine for the
pants or jacket
to have a big hem. Someone else may use the uniform next year
and we can just remove the hem if needed.
Shoe Fittings
Musicians need two pairs of Dinkles, one white and one
black. (Newbies: Dinkles are marching shoes). Students
will be fitted for shoes during band camp, at the same
times they are fitted for uniforms. We
will have shoes to try on.
Bring a pair of athletic socks
that
you will be wearing this season to the fitting. This
is
important:
they
should be socks that are padded in the toe and heel or
ball of the foot to avoid blisters and discomfort. If
you dont have the socks you intend to use, the shoes will not fit
correctly,
and youll
end up with sore feet. This will also avoid having to do
exchanges or returns.
The cost of the shoes will be announced before the start of
band camp.
Payment is due on the day of your uniform fitting.
ATTENTION:
For the band members who have seniors that
just graduated, please let them know that we are always
looking for gently used shoes and would appreciate if
they would like to donate them to the uniform room. If
paying by check, please make check
payable to Pennsbury Band Boosters.
The shoes should be in by the end of band camp. At that
time, socks and gloves may be purchased. If you do not
wish to purchase them at that time, socks and gloves
will be on sale before each football game.
Returning marchers, please try on your black Dinkles and
consider getting a new pair if they are getting tight.
You want your shoes to be as comfortable as possible.
Remember that shoes with cracks are not acceptable.
Dinkles cost:
$24.00 for the black dinkles and $22.00 for the white
dinkles.
Black socks:
Note that black socks must be solid black; no colors or
stripes are acceptable. Black socks are $3
a pair.
White socks:
Only the socks purchased from the Uniform Committee will
be acceptable. White socks are $3 a pair.
Gloves:
Regular black or white gloves:
$3 a pair
Grippy black or white gloves: $4 a pair
