"Be around the light bringers, the magic makers, the world shifters, the game shakers.
They challenge you, break you open, uplift and expand you.
They don't let you play small with your life. These are your people.

These people are your tribe."

Important Performance Requirements


Shorts: Students will be required to wear a pair of thin shorts under their uniform for each performance. Changing in and out of uniform in front of others without shorts and a T-shirt on is in bad taste. Judges and other bands will form judgments about your performance by your actions on and off the field. 

Shirts: Students will be required to wear their season shirts under their uniform for all performances. Wearing this shirt will make it easy to identify students in our group. 

Hair: Neat, clean hair is a requirement. No long hair should be showing on the collars of the uniform. Students who have long hair must have their hair put into a ponytail, French braid, etc. and tucked securely under their hats. Skull caps can be purchased to wear under the hat to keep hair in place. The cost is $16.00 or you can purchase your own at any sporting goods store. 

Jewelry: Students are not allowed to wear jewelry of any kind. This includes necklaces, rings, watches, nose rings, earrings, etc. 

Makeup: Subtle make-up on girls is allowed. The color guard will wear make-up specific to their costume. Please do not have nail polish on finger nails, and no acrylic nails. 

Instruments: It is expected that instruments will be shined before each performance and in superior working condition.
