WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COMPETITION DAYS
TEAM MOTTO:
“Do your best…forget the rest! GO BAND!”
• Uniforms need to be in tip-top shape. See attached sheet or go to: http://www.wlcbands.com/looking-good.html for details on uniform care.
• Extra gloves can always be purchased in the uniform room for $3 a pair. • Competition days are long days for the kids…please make sure they get plenty of sleep,
have a healthy breakfast, and please pack some healthy snacks that will not stain their uniforms. Also, they may need food for dinner or cash for concessions.
• Make sure to think about the weather…it gets chilly by the evening & kids will start to need some kind of under armor wear to keep them warm.
• You are not expected to go to the whole competition! • Arrive early...sometimes you have to park some distance from the field • Pack for the weather...blankets, coats, etc. • You will need to buy tickets at each location...generally between $5 and $7 per person.
They will usually have a program available for an extra $2 - $5. • Most locations will have concessions available, which benefit their boosters, so consider
supporting them. • You will notice that they usually will not allow people to enter / exit the stands during a
performance. If you are approaching the field during a performance and notice a traffic jam of people, just be patient, as soon as the performance is over, they will open it up to enter / exit before the next band. It is a courtesy to the performers and their spectators.
• BE A GOOD SPORT! No matter what you see...please refrain from any negative comments in the stands...you never know whose grandma is sitting right behind you. We have always prided ourselves on giving EACH TEAM a standing ovation following their performance. These kids ALL work hard and deserve our support & respect!
If you haven’t had a chance, check out Marching Band 101 on our website: http://www.wlcbands.com/marching-band-101.html There is a lot of info about competition days , including information about how bands are judged!

The “Care and Keeping” of our uniforms
Uniform Adjustments
• Most bibbers (pants) will need to be hemmed.. Some bibbers have snaps along both seams but still may need to be tacked in order for the hem to not sag. Do not cut the fabric, fold it up. You can open the seams at the sides to allow the hem to lay flat. Do not use hem tape. The pant leg should rest on the top of the marching shoe.
• Jacket Sleeve length can be adjusted by utilizing the snaps sewn inside at each wrist.
• Do not make permanent alterations to the uniform. Consult with the Uniform Chair, if needed. Uniform Cleaning The uniforms are washable and should not be dry cleaned. We strongly encourage that the Jacket and Gauntlets are washed in mesh laundry bags (like a lingerie bag), or turned inside-out. This works great and helps preserve the uniform by protecting the brass buttons from being scratched.
• Wash jacket and bibbers separately on delicate cycle. Pour liquid Tide (detergent with no additives) in washer, add cold water, then add the garment and set on permanent press cycle. Pre-treat collar, sleeve or front stains with Spray and Wash stain stick/spray or Oxi Clean spray.
• Dry jacket and bibbers separately on permanent press setting.
• Remove jacket and bibbers from dryer after 5 minutes and hang to dry overnight.
• Gauntlets can be spot clean as needed. They also can be washed on the delicate cycle in a mesh laundry
bag or a zipped pillow case with cold water and Tide. Do not place in dryer, it is best to Velcro them together over a hanger and allow them to dry. Store flat, Velcroed together, when dry, store in the pouch of the garment bag.
• Use wooden or plastic hangers.
• Do not use bleach or bleach alternative of any kind. Do not dry clean.
Our Viking Band practices many hours to deliver their incredible performances. Please remember to take time to make sure your uniform looks incredible too! It is important to look as good as we sound and march!
