Varsity jackets can be purchased from a designated local vendor. The vendor of choice does change at times from year to year so inquire with the Band Directors or Athletics to determine the best options when you are ready to make this purchase. The student can then add their Varsity letter and various patches and pins related to your student’s band and guard related activities, awards, and accolades as they are received.
