Uniform Fitting Nights

August 4, 5 & 6 from 6:00-8:30pm

Football Band & Color Guard

Football Band students will need to come in for uniform fittings on the designated evening. If a student is unable to attend on their assigned day, they may come on an alternate day instead. The process should take approximately 30–45 minutes and students can leave once their fitting is done. Costs and detailed pricing are available on the band website.

Uniform Info: https://lakotawestbands.org/about/marching-firebirds/marching-band-uniforms/  

Rookie Members:

  • Band rookies will receive a red bag, two pairs of gloves, and shoes at no cost.
  • Color Guard rookies will receive black shoes and one pair of gloves at no cost.

Payment for all other uniform items or for replacement items is due on the day of the fitting and can be made by cash, check, or credit card.

We need a lot of volunteers! Please sign up to help!
