Uniform Overview

"When you put on a uniform, there are certain inhibitions that you accept."
~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Each student will be issued a Marching Band Uniform for the 2024-2025 school year. Uniforms are the property of the Canon-McMillan School District. Please take proper care of your uniform and wear it with pride!

Uniforms should be cleaned regularly to keep them looking their best.
Collars should be washed by hand with soapy water after performances.
Martinizing Dry Cleaners in Canonsburg will be servicing our uniforms, and they do a great job keeping them looking great!
Please contact, Karina Kowalczyk the uniform committee chairman with questions and/or concerns.

Uniform Care (Band & Auxiliary)

It is the student's responsibility to keep their entire uniform clean and performance-ready!

• Each piece has a number and that number is assigned to each student.

• Do not use markers, tape, or labels to put your name in the uniform.

• Do not alter your uniform in any way. This will be done by the uniform committee only.

• After EACH performance, HANG UP the uniform properly. If your uniform gets wet (ie. rain or perspiration), allow the uniform to dry completely before hanging. DO NOT place a wet uniform or hat in the garment bag or hat box…they will mildew!

• DO NOT use wire hangers! Use the wooden hanger provided. Hang the jumpsuit by the creases in the legs.

• Treat stains immediately, generally with a sponge and cold water.

• Please wash the coat collar insert regularly. It snaps into the collar and is easily removed for washing.

• Report any damage as soon as it happens. You will be financially responsible for any extensive damage to the uniform and/or any lost uniform pieces.

• General cleaning of the uniforms will be handled by the Canon McMillan School District at certain dates during the year. It is your responsibility to turn in your uniform at the designated times.
