Marching Uniforms
The MtH Marching Unit considers it an honor to wear the marching uniform. The uniform is a sign of commitment and represents the Mt. Hebron High School of the past, present, and future. Care of the uniform is the responsibility of the student. An inspection is held before each performance; disciplinary actions are taken for not wearing the uniform properly and for improper actions while in uniform. When you are in uniform, you are not looked upon as an individual, but as a member of our Band Program... past and present. Remember, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you represent all of those that have come before you, all of those present with you, and all of those that hope to follow you. What type of impression are we leaving?
The complete uniform consists of the school issued materials, supplemented with materials provided by the student. Only materials outlined below will be accepted. No substitutions will be accepted.
