UNIFORMS
The William Tennent Marching Band is one of the most visible groups in our school and our wider community, and we are excited to debut our new uniform for the 2023 season! The sleek design and black/white fade on the shirt, is a way of bringing the past into the future. All students will be issued a uniform and needed uniform accessories (gloves, Shako, shoes, etc...). Shako's and gloves are provided to all students. Shoes are provided to first year students. Students may purchase additional/replacement accessories from the Uniform Committee.
When you are in uniform, you are in full uniform unless directed by the band director. For musicians, a full uniform includes the uniform top, pants, gloves, black socks, and black marching shoes (purchased from the band parents.) Under the uniform, you must wear at least your black WT shirt (provided by the band parents) and shorts/compressions. As the weather gets cooler, you should add an additional layer. Anything worn under the uniform must be solid black and fit tight against the skin.
Hair must be done so that it fits fully under the helmet. No jewelry, nail polish, or other accessory that will conflict with the appearance of the uniform are permitted. Students are responsible to make sure they have all parts of the uniform for all performances. Before leaving for any event, there will be a uniform inspection in the band room. Members that are out of uniform may not be able to perform.
The jacket/pants and overcoats will be kept at the school and may not travel home. Cleaning of the band uniforms will be handled by the uniform committee. However, if you eat something and accidentally spill something on you, notify a uniform representative quickly!
When in uniform (or wearing a band t-shirt) you represent William Tennent High School and Centennial School District, wear your uniform with pride!
