If you have any questions or concerns about required wear, please contact RequiredWear@harrisonbands.org
On Friday nights and during competitions and other special events, students wear items under their uniforms to make for easy removal.
Help students get in the habit of having Gray Performance Shirt, Blue Shorts, Black Gloves, Long Black Socks, and Black Super Drillmaster Shoes for Friday Games and all competitions. This is called “Gray–Blue–Black-Black–Black.”
Many students stay at school on Fridays to get ready for the game and meals are provided for an extra cost for your convenience. Having the items your child needs to wear in a bag in their backpack the night before will help them remember to have everything they need.

Band class students will be fitted with a tuxedo or dress for the concerts performed by band classes. Instead of asking students to purchase these items, our program rents them and we also take care of dry cleaning at the end of the year, for $50/school year. These items are assigned to the student at the beginning of the semester and are kept through the school year unless band class is dropped in the second semester. These articles belong to the school and must be returned if class is dropped or at the end of the school year. If items are not returned the students account is subject to charges for the full amount of the items.
Students will also be asked to purchase accessories to go with tuxedos and dresses. Boys will need to purchase a black button down dress shirt ($20) and tie ($15). Girls will need to purchase pearls ($10). We also ask the students to have a HHS Band Polo ($25) to wear at less formal performances. These items purchased are owned by the student.
If you’ve not already purchased these required accessories, do so through our required wear program.

Please encourage your child to have the items needed by Thursday’s practice. If your child is missing items, we can provide those items for your child but we will have to charge your account for that item.
NOTE TO RETURNING AND NEW MEMBERS: We cannot offer items to borrow. Please help your child be responsible for their uniform items and items needed for practice.
Have your child label their items so that if they are lost, they can be returned.
During the summer, the Uniform Team will size your child for their uniform. This sizing will include shoe sizing, and confirming t shirt and shorts sizing. Freshman parents are encouraged to come to the fitting and ask questions. If you would like to be part of the uniform team, please contact RW or Uniforms. We would love to have your help!

Talk to the head of Concert Wear if you would like to volunteer to assist with sizing the students. It’s a great way to meet other parents!
