These shoes are ~$47-$49 and students will need to order them online once they are fitted (the online ordering is new this year). This cost is not included in the marching band dues payments. (Guard members will not need to be fitted for their shoes at registration, you will order yours at a later date.)

ALL Students (with the exception of Guard) will be fitted for new show shirts for the year. NEW Students (with the exception of Guard) will also be fitted for uniform pants. 

Returning students: please wear a t-shirt so that you can try on the uniform sizer over top of your t-shirt.

NEW students: please wear a t-shirt AND shorts/leggings/thin pants (NO JEANS or bulky pants) so that you can easily try on bibbers (marching band pants) and try on the uniform sizer over top of your t-shirt. 

(Guard members will not need to be fitted for their costumes at registration, you will be fitted at a later date.)

SHOES! Returning members, check your shoes to see If they still fit and are In excellent condition. If they are showing any signs of wear, tearing, creases, etc, we will need to order new ones. If you aren't sure, bring your shoes with you to Registration to show Mrs. DeZell!

5) Students will turn in the first $225 payment for their marching band dues. Checks should be made out to "WLCMB". Families can also show proof of payment of this first $225 paid via Membership Toolkit.
