GHHS MARCHING BAND: DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

can to be in attendance!

New Summer Marching Band Uniforms for 2025
The Marching Band is moving in an exciting new direction for our summer uniforms. This change is the result of several years of student input and thoughtful conversations about what our members need and want when it comes to fit, comfort, and appearance.
In response to that feedback, we are introducing a completely updated summer uniform for the 2025 season. All students--not just incoming freshmen—will be required to purchase the new uniform this year. The goal is for each student to wear this updated uniform for the remainder of their time in the Marching Band.
The uniform includes a new shirt and shorts, designed with student comfort and confidence in mind. The screens
  • The total cost is $58 per student.
  • For seniors only, we’re offering a reduced cost of $30, since they’ll only be using it for one season.
You can expect additional communication from GHBOB soon about how and when we’ll collect payment.
Please see the screenshots below for a preview of the new uniform style. While the design is finalized, we ask you to disregard any color mismatches you may notice in the images—the navy tones are not accurately represented due to computer-generated previews. We are working closely with the manufacturer to ensure the final product has a consistent and professional color

We understand that this is a shift from our usual process, but this change reflects what your students have directly asked for—something they feel good about wearing and that better meets their needs in the summer heat. We also want to reassure you that this new design is intended to last, so this is a one-time investment that will carry students through the rest of their marching years.Thank you for your continued support, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
