Marching Band Uniforms
The current Genoa-Kingston High School Marching Band uniforms are twelve to fifteen years old. They have been altered numerous times; many are permanently stained, discolored, and torn. Our goal is to replace the current uniforms with 75 new uniforms, 75 garment bags, and 75 raincoats. Purchasing 75 uniforms outfits all current band members and allows for the band to grow and have flexibility of sizing as band members change.
Our organization is dedicated to enhancing the education of GK students. We feel new band uniforms would accomplish that in several ways. In the same way that sports uniforms make the team look consistent and exhibit an image of pride, so to do band uniforms. Marching Bands are often the face of a high school band program. We want our students to be proud of their accomplishments, including their music education, and uniforms are a means of doing that and exhibiting that pride for their school and community. This in turns provides a positive attitude, spirit, and morale among the members. We want the people in this community, and others the band performs in, to see the pride that our students have and that we have of them and that we support their desire to strive for excellence.
