Marching Uniforms Chair Herndon High School Band < Back Previous Next Marching Uniforms Chair Debora Jimenez & Rossana Sudario uniforms@herndonband.org I'M INTERESTED Board The Marching Uniform Chair maintains all uniforms for the Band Program. In addition, the Marching Uniform Chair is responsible for inventory of donated shoes and other items as needed. For the 2024-25 marching season, the Marching Uniform Chair is also responsible for Guard uniforms (both parade and show), including coordinating with vendors, cleaning, inventory, fitting etc, in coordination with the Guard Coach(es) and Band Director. This may not be the case in subsequent years, if so, these tasks will fall to the Guard Chair. There are two seasons to the Uniform Coordinator job: Marching and Concert seasons. Both require ordering new pieces, fitting students for uniforms and shoes, hemming, sorting, cleaning (both dry cleaning jackets and bibbers, and laundering long and short sleeved shirts), and inventory. This includes shoes and gloves, as needed. Volunteers are a key component of this job; however it is not necessary that all volunteers have sewing skills. If there are parents within the HHSBPA that are willing and have volunteered those skills, the Uniform Coordinator(s) is responsible for coordinating repairs, hemming or other sewing type adjustments with that individual. The Uniform Coordinator(s) also order ancillary items for the marchers and/or the uniforms as needed, such as coat hangers, bandages, hair ties, etc, pending approval from the HHSBPA. The Uniform Coordinator attends all monthly Board meetings. The Marching Uniform Chair is also responsible for ordering band show shirts for the marching season, in conjunction with the Band Director, HHSBPA Treasurer, and Reston Shirts. Show shirts are provided for the marchers, the Band Director, and staff and custodial staff, as well as others at the Band Director’s discretion. Clear communication with the Band Director, building staff, Volunteer Coordinator, Board of Directors, dry cleaner, uniform vendors, and parents is necessary.
