Uniform Volunteers
Supporting over 200 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.
Prior to band camp, each family will receive a worksheet for contact information, booster dues and uniform fees (one form per family). They will also receive a uniform order worksheet for those items that need to be purchased. The information below will help explain each of the uniforms, what is provided by the school, and what needs to be purchased.
Formal Concert Uniform
For formal concert settings, such as Winter and Spring Concerts and Band Festival, students are issued black tuxedo uniforms. These uniforms are sized during band camp, are distributed to the students, and are stored at home. (click photo for larger image).

Formal Marching Uniform
For most football games and marching band performances, the full marching uniform will be used. Unlike the concert uniform, the marching uniform is kept in the uniform room at school. The students arrive at the band room prior to the performance, change into their uniform, and then change out of the uniform after the performance.
