All About Uniforms

Students are required to be dressed appropriately and in full uniform for all performances and while in uniform are representing themselves, the Grove City High School Band Program/Music Department/Directors, Grove City High School and the Grove City community. 

• Uniforms are to go home following every performance so they can be aired out or dry cleaned (toss a fresh fabric softener sheet in your garment bag to help keep uniforms smelling fresh).
• Keep uniform in a presentable, clean and well-maintained state
  • Keep dry, take home & hang up between performances
  • Dry clean regularly and when visibly soiled
• Report on time for performances with complete uniform as instructed by directors via the event itinerary
  • Uniform chair or designee will report any missing essentials per student to the directors at each performance
• Return uniforms in the same condition as they were issued if a new size is required or students time with the band is complete
