Things I -The Uniform Closet Queen–Will Not Miss When We Retire the Marching Patriots Band Uniforms, The List:

Throwback to November 2, 2012

1. Re-attaching popped buttons.

2. Ironing-on patches to the inside of pant cuffs so that the perforations won’t show.

3. Explaining to several marchers per week that the broken zippers on the sides of the pants really don’t matter, as long as the suspenders don’t break.

4. Praying that the suspenders don’t break.

5. Re-assuring marchers that we really did send the uniforms to the dry cleaners, and that the yellowed spots are there because of age, not sweat.

6. Convincing marchers that the cracks in their hats really aren’t visible from far away, and that these cracks should be viewed as much-desired ventilation.
