 Care of Equipment

 

          The purchase of a musical instrument represents the investment of a large amount of money, whether it is owned personally or by the school.  It is good common sense to take good care of it so that it will remain in good working order and last as long as it should.

Keep it dry and clean.

Avoid sudden temperature changes.

Know special cleaning instructions for each instrument.

 

Care of the Uniform

1.       Always hang up the uniform neatly after each performance.

2.       Cover hats and plumes in the rain.

3.       Use proper uniform bags, rain gear, and storage facilities at all times.

4.       Never wear coats, jeans, or outer garments under the uniform.

5.       Do not cut any material from the uniform.  Alter by hemming only!

6.       A uniform inspection will be held before each performance.  All equipment will be subject to inspection at any time.

7.       Always wear clean, calf length, solid black socks!

8.       Band shoes must be clean at all times.

9.     Report all spots and stains on the uniform to the uniform captains so that they can be cleaned immediately.
