LMHS Band Student Uniform Agreement Form, 2025-2026
Band uniforms are quite expensive (over $400.00 when purchased individually) and thus must serve us for an extended period of time. We are currently in the fourth year of the life of these uniforms.
To extend the lifetime of the uniforms as much as possible, each student must assist in caring for them. Uniforms are kept at school and distributed before each performance. Students are given instructions on proper wearing and care of each part of their uniform.
The Band Assessment covers regular uniform cleaning and minor repairs. Students are responsible for damage caused by carelessness or improper wearing/storage of the uniforms. Hat boxes are issued with the uniform hats, and travel bags are issued to carry other accessories. Students are given clear instructions on what should and should not be kept in their hat boxes and band bags. Paying attention to instructions, meeting deadlines, and taking care of obligations is a fundamental skill and responsibility. This is an important part of education and life, not just the band experience.
Failure to follow any instructions pertaining to the uniform and/or failure to return the hat box and hat, clean, when requested, will be handled as a failure to perform proper maintenance. This can result in the student being charged for any repairs or replacements needed as a result of improper maintenance, underscoring the importance of compliance. This charge can be included as a part of a student's debt, appearing on the senior debt list.
This form must be signed and returned before a uniform will be issued.
"I have read the information above and understand the need to care for and wear the uniform properly. I agree to appear at each performance with the proper accessories, to wear and care for the uniform properly while it is in my possession, and to return it after each performance as requested. I acknowledge that only items approved by the director should be kept in the hat box and band bag and agree to care for and return my hat box and hat, clean, and on the date requested."
