Band front members must purchase or already own the REQUIRED/MANDATORY items shown below in order to be fully prepared to participate in the activities of the next band season. Payments need to be made online using either credit cards or PayPal. This will also be the only time for supporters to order 2024 theme shirts.

​

ALL ORDERS ARE DUE BY:    

JULY 10, 2024

​

Any Guard members from previous years who already have gloves, shoes or parade shirts do not need to order replacements unless there are condition or size issues with those previously purchased.

​

The following information has been sent via email previously. It is being shared here for informational purposes.

Here's what you will need to wear underneath your uniform (regardless of the style you are in).  

 

1- A nude/skin tone bodysuit/leotard.  If you have one from last year, that will work perfectly.  We recommend that you purchase a long sleeved one for warmth in colder months.  Here are a few Amazon links if you need one: 

Long Sleeved Bodysuit - (I actually own a black and white short sleeve version of this and they're decent quality)

Long Sleeve Mock Neck Bodysuit - If you are prone to getting cold, the mock neck one gives you a little more coverage for warmth

 

2- A pair of spandex shorts and/or leggings.  We do a lot of changing clothes on the bus.  This item is for modesty purposes when we don't have a lot of privacy and need to change in or out of uniforms.

Black Spandex Shorts- Multiple Lengths

Black Capri Leggings

 

OPTIONAL FOR THIS YEAR:  

3-Nude Tank Top.  Because we will have our uniforms much earlier, and some of our early games and competitions can still be very warm, an optional item you may wish to purchase is a nude tank top (or nude or white camisole tank). If you choose to wear a full tank, please make sure it is NOT racerback.   Here are two links: 

Camisole Tank- Nude

2-Pack Tank- Nude

​

If you have not ordered your guard gloves yet, please do so.  As we progress in our skills, you are going to need to be wearing them for practice to help protect your hands.  Jammed knuckles/joints are no joke, and you don't want to miss important skills/choreography because you've injured yourself.  Once you've strained a joint, it's much more likely to happen again, so protect your hands as much as you can!!!  

 

#1- You need to have a pair of nude Guard gloves- this is a required item.  These protect your hands, and make spinning easier especially when your hands are sweaty or cold.  We use the Ever-Dri Director's Showcase Color Guard Gloves which can be found on multiple websites (Band Shoppe, Director's Showcase International), but most people just order them on Amazon.  They are sized, and there is a sizing chart with the Amazon link below. (Most of our performers wear Small or Medium).  They are washable, so those of you with stinky gloves from last year, now's the time to think about taking care of that funkiness! Generally a pair of gloves should last 2 seasons- that is, if you don't lose them!  Please mark the gloves on the inside or in the velcro with your initials.

PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING LONG UNDERWEAR (SKIN COLORED UNDER ARMOUR) TO LAYER UNDER YOUR UNIFORM WHEN IT IS COLD. Theme shirts are a requirement for students but optional for family members.
