Marching Band Uniform Care

The "Dos" and "Don'ts"

• DO keep your uniform on its hanger.
• DO keep your uniform in its bag.
• DO keep the zipper in your bag opened slightly when not in use (this helps with controlling moisture).
• DO keep your Dinkles in the pocket on the back of the bag (not in with your uniform for obvious reasons).
• DO keep your gauntlets and gloves in your hat box (no hat box? - place your gauntlets in the top zip pocket of your garment bag).
• DO keep your uniform straps up at all times, unless using the restroom.
• DO wear something on your feet (socks and some kind of footwear – this is a safety issue).
• DON’T steam iron any part of your uniform.
• DON’T machine wash your uniform.
• DO remember your entire uniform at the end of the season.
