Band Uniform Information

Summer Marching Uniform

This is the uniform for early season performances. It consists of the following pieces:

  • Show Shirt – Black T-Shirt with graphic for this year’s show – one shirt will be provided during band camp.  Additional shirts can be purchased via the website if needed: https://wandobands.org/our-program/wando-spirit-gear/
  • Black Shorts – each family will purchase directly. A link provided before band camp.
  • Mostly (90%) black athletic shoes – any brand/style – no neon colors. Alternatively, drillmasters/velocity marching shoes may be worn.

Competitive Performance Ensemble Marching Uniform

For marching competitions and late-season football games:

The following items are owned and maintained by the Band—fittings will be completed by the uniform team during the first week of band camp in August (dates/times will be announced in late July):       

  • Jacket
  • Bibbers (pants)
  • Marching Show Shirt
  • Shako (hat)

Students are responsible for purchasing their own:             

  • Calf-length black socks
  • Black Compression shorts – students may have to get dressed in public. The compression shorts are worn under the bibbers and help with modesty issues. They also minimize lines/bunching under the bibbers.

  • Black Gloves (these will be sold by band leadership and/or the uniform team)
  • Velocity Marching Shoes (purchased the first week of band camp)
Competitive Performance Ensemble Guard Uniform

Color Guard Performance Uniforms are handled separately through the color guard sponsors and volunteers, similar to the Band Marching uniforms. 

Other components of the uniform and additional Guard clothing can be ordered at this link: Uniform Ordering.

Members who are also in band need to be sure to have the concert dress  fitted and  ordered on the same schedule as other band members.

Concert Uniform

EVERYONE MUST HAVE A TUXEDO OR CONCERT DRESS for concert season. This is the only time available to do this, so we can have them ordered and delivered in enough time.

Tuxedos:

Band Tuxedo Order Form

Someone from the uniform team will be in the band hallway during summer rehearsals, after school and before rehearsal to get sizes, order forms and payment from the students . Dates & times will be sent via email & posted on the Bands of Wando Parent Facebook page.
