Uniform Volunteers
Supporting the members of Seaholm Bands, the Uniform Volunteers are one of the most important groups of parents in the band. From measuring uniform sizes during band camp to managing the uniform room during marching season, these volunteers ensure that our band members always look sharp. Thank you!
Seaholm Band Uniforms
Seaholm Bands actually has three different uniforms: Formal Concert, Formal Marching and Casual/Warm Weather Marching. Additionally, each band member has a band t-shirt that is unique each year. The most creative uniforms of the year are on display at our annual Halloween Parade.
The information below will help explain each of the uniforms, what is provided by the school, and what needs to be purchased.
