Compression shorts or form fitting basketball shorts should be worn under the bibbers. We wear the Performance Uniform for most football games, all band contests, HOCO parade, and a few other performances. All students have a garment bag to store the Performance Uniform and a hat box for their Shako.

Band Shoes- DSI Black Marching Shoe. These shoes must be purchased and worn at all Marching Band performances. Students who do not have this shoe will NOT be permitted to march
