It is important to hang your uniform correctly after each performance. Take the uniform out of the bag after each performance and let it air out. If you uniform is wrinkled, hang it up! if your uniform gets very dirty let the uniform team know. Do NOT clean or iron your own uniform. If it looks like the weather may get bad, bring your uniform bag and hat box to the performance with you.

  • Only drink clear liquids while in uniform.
  • Cleaning the uniform room is the responsibility of all members.
  • If you lose any parts of your uniform, you are financially responsible for buying a new one.
