Uniforms will arrive back on Monday, August 12th. We will start uniform fittings on Tuesday, August 13th at 3:30pm for Seniors and Juniors, and on Thursday, August 15th at 3:30pm for Sophomores and Freshmen. We’ll hopefully be moved back to the Band room by then, keep your fingers crossed.

If you are available to help fit uniforms – it’s easy, no experience required and no sewing required – but maybe a little ironing… Please let Sandy know. The more helpers we have, the quicker the fittings go.
