Care & Feeding of a Fine Band Uniform It is very important that your band uniform be kept in good condition. The uniforms have been provided by the Parkway School District and must last approximately 10 years. All students are responsible for dry cleaning their jackets and jumpsuits after every performance, time permitting. American Cleaners on Clayton Road (next to St. Louis Bread Co.) will provide cleaning services for $3.99. Gloves should be hand-washed in cool water - in order to avoid mold, they should not be stored in the hat box. Some instrument sections cut the ends off their gloves to enhance fingering. Marching shoes should be polished and water-proofed regularly. Hats, baldrics, plumes, and gauntlets (anything with sequins or trim) will remain at school between performances. Baldrics are stored in tubs, while hats and gauntlets are stored in assigned hat boxes. Plumes are stored in special tubes and carrying case. When dressing to march, wear a black T-shirt under your jacket. Your nylon garment bag should be used to keep your uniform and accessories together and to allow them all to breathe. Before performances, Booster Parents will be available to assist with taping gauntlets and jacket sleeves, if necessary.
