Marching Shoes and Gloves

Mr. VanStrien

Students in need of shoes and gloves may now order them.  We like to wait until the school year gets a little closer because students tend to grow over the summer.  If your son/daughter already has a pair of marching shoes and gloves then they are all set.  If they are a freshmen or have outgrown them they will need to order a pair.  We can collect orders with money at school and PayPal (credit/debit cards) is now an option.

The marching shoes are a special shoe with a shaped back heel that allows student to roll their feet more accurately for marching.  The shoes can also be used with the boys concert tuxedo as well.

Please submit orders no later than August 8th.  Gloves and shoes will be passed out before the first game on the 23rd.
