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.

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.
