Uniform Helpers Needed

Tuesday, October 15th
During Rehearsal: 5:30-8pm

To add an extra visual aspect to the show, we are adding sashes to the uniforms. We will be sewing Velcro inside the jackets, cutting the fabric for the sashes, gathering the tops of the sashes, etc.

If you have a sewing machine, rotary cutters, cutting mats, or a tape measure, please bring it along. If you don’t have sewing experience, that’s OK too! We still need help pulling uniforms, rehanging, and other tasks. It’ll be fun!

No need to sign-up, just bring a smile and appear in the band hallway! Thanks for your help!
