The uniforms stay "on campus" at the high school; this allows us to keep them cleaner, which will extend the life of the uniforms. The uniforms are kept in on hangers labeled with the student's name. Shoes, gloves, and black socks should be kept together, and transported between home and school by the student. We recommend students buy a second set of gloves ($3). Gloves tend to get heavily soiled during games, so it's nice to have a spare pair. Students with hair longer than the collar will need to pull it up under the hat.Ā
Your marching band deposit covers coat, gauntlets andĀ pants, 1 pair of gloves, your assigned hat, and the cleaning fees for the coat and pants. It does not cover shoes ,practice shirts or extra gloves. Students must also have marching band practice tee shirts for night practices and mini camps.
Please pay for uniform orders with check payable to Highland Band Boosters. Include student name and # on all checks.
Prices are as follows:
Shoes: $40. If your student needs shoes, they will be sized at their uniform fitting but they will NOT receive their shoes until September prior to the first uniformed marching show.
Practice tee shirts: $7 each
Gloves: $3. Each student will receive one pair of gloves (paid for in your uniform fee) and can purchase additional pairs for $3 throughout the season before performances.

Mr. Bennett and students model proper dress for those long, hot practices in the summer Arizona sun. Good choices include:
a wide-brim hat
sunglasses
a normal, unaltered t-shirt or a more stylish light, collared shirt
shorts
tennis shoes that lace or tie (no flip flops, sandals, or unlaced shoes, because proper marching technique can only be learned with the proper foot wear)
Students must follow school dress code while in rehearsals.
Use broad-spectrum sunscreens whose active ingredients block UVA and UVB rays. The Sun Protective Factor (SPF) should be a minimum of 30.
Sunscreens should be used every day, including cloudy days. They should be applied liberally and evenly before going out into the sun and should be applied every 2 hours, especially after heavy sweating. Don't forget to do your lips, ears, scalp, hands, nose, feet and the backs of your neck and legs.
Bring plenty of water, and drink before, during and after your outdoor activity: 1-2 cups 2 to 3 hours before your activity, every 15-20 minutes during your activity, and after your activity. The following are warning signs of significant dehydration; they may also indicate more serious conditions like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which require immediate medical attention.
Noticeable thirst
Muscle cramps
Weakness
Decreased performance
Difficulty paying attention
Headache
Nausea
Fatigue
Lightheaded feeling or dizziness
