Volunteers will measure your student and fit according to our inventory. Be advised we allow for
a little space in concert wear so your student can sit comfortably.
Pep Uniforms: The sleeves and the cuffs are adjustable with snaps. Have your student try on
the pants inside out, adjust the snap, remove the pants and iron the hem crease. Please remind
your student to put on their pants before their shoes so they avoid ripping out the snaps. Avoid
pressing with high heat and DO NOT press over the snap area as high heat will melt the snap
imprint onto the outside of the garment. The sleeve length is also adjustable however it will be
covered by the gauntlet and gloves.
Concert wear: The concert dresses and tux pants come un-hemmed. It is the students
responsibility to have them hemmed before the first concert. Remember to have your student
wear their dress shoes when measuring to attain the correct length.
Undergarments
Wear a t-shirt, underwear or garments made of absorbent fabric under Pep uniforms. No
perfume, deodorant or hair spray should be sprayed on or next to the garments. The residue
from these items will cause a build up on the fabric. Appropriate undergarments must be worn
under concert wear.
Be cautious when removing gauntlets so the hard side of the Velcro does not snag on any part
of the uniform. DO NOT stand against a brick wall or other areas that might cause the fabric to
snag.
Uniform Care
Concert Dresses,Tux Shirts and Tux Pants are machine washable cold, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Tux Vest and Tux Jacket are dry cleaned only.
Although Pep uniforms are machine washable please do not wash. We want to maintain
continuity of care and the Boosters will wash them at the end of the school year.
DO NOT place wet or damp garments in a plastic bag or sealed in the garment bag. Proper
hanging and air drying of garments after each time they are worn is imperative. If needed it is
your responsibility to have concert wear washed or dry cleaned during the year. Boosters will
wash items at the end of the school year.
If stained please BLOT, DO NOT RUB with water and a clean cloth.
