Band Store

 

The band store will be open on Thursday August 27th.

Past show and championship shirts are available for $5.00. I will have them for the next 2 weeks. They will then be placed in storage.  They will still be available for purchase but turnaround time will be lengthy.  If interested in making purchases of the past shirts please do so now.

The Band Store needs volunteers throughout the marching season.  Show your Lafayette Spirit and volunteer to (a) pull the band store trailer to school or (b) volunteer to create merchandise displays or (c) help with sales!  If interested, please contact Stephanie Roney at cybertoothshr@yahoo.com or 859-519-0048.

 

Uniforms

 

Uniform 101 – Everything you ever wanted to know about uniforms and more! Click Here

Extra band camp T-shirts — If you ordered an extra shirt and haven’t picked it up, Amy King will be in the orchestra room Wednesday evening.  If you haven’t paid, please bring your money in an envelope with your name on it.

Marching shoes — Please make sure your shoes are clean and ready to go for the first performance.  If anyone hasn’t done so already, PLEASE write your FULL name in BOTH shoes with permanent marker.

White socks — Please make sure you have at least 2 pairs of clean, long, PLAIN white socks (no stripes, no gray on the heel).

Gloves — The day of the first football game, please remember to bring money to purchase gloves if you need them.  Grip are $6 and non-grip are $5.  If you don’t know which kind to get, ask your section leader.

Hair – Please remember hair is not allowed to touch the collar of your uniform. Be thinking about how you’re going to contain your hair under your hat, make sure you have all the necessary items to do so, or possibly schedule a haircut. Sousaphones and front ensemble (pit), your hair is extra important because you don’t wear hats!  Make sure your hair will be performance-ready.
