A LOT HAS CHANGED WITH BAND UNIFORMS.
Buying a set of old-style marching uniforms is a significant expense. Many programs need to get school board approval or do extensive fundraising to afford them.
Those days are over. With McCormick's, you can outfit your entire band for under $200 per performer, saving you money that you can invest in other parts of your program.

McCORMICK'S UNIFORMS ARE
Designing a legacy-assembled uniform is risky. Since fabric-on-fabric uniforms are so expensive and labor intensive to produce, band directors need to commit to one look for years.
Not with McCormick's. You can add a shako cover, hip cape and more for a fraction of the cost. Need a fresh design to spice up your uniform for a parade or an upcoming show? McCormick's can add to or replace a uniform in as little as 8 weeks.

McCORMICK'S UNIFORMS ARE
Old-style fabric-on-fabric uniforms are stiff, bulky and inflexible. All of the layers of fabric make the uniforms hot, rigid, itchy, and restrict your performer's movements.
Our uniforms are made from McCormick's exclusive Harmony fabric - which is comfortable, moisture wicking, and machine washable. Your performers will be cool, dry and unrestricted.
With a UPF50 rating, Harmony fabric also filters out 98% of the sun's UV rays. Other uniform fabrics are not sun-protected.

Fabric-on-fabric band uniforms are hard to care for. They need to be dry-cleaned at significant extra expense, and kept safe from the elements to prevent permanent damage.
Produced from our exclusive Harmony fabric, McCormick's uniforms are machine-washable in ordinary machines at home. We put one of our uniforms through 100 commercial washes and couldn't tell the difference from another that hadn't been washed at all.

Old uniforms are limited visually by the fabrics and colors that are available. This leads to band directors compromising on the vision they had for their band.
McCormick's uniforms have infinite design possibilities. Thanks to the technology of dye sublimation, our uniforms can display any color, combination of colors, or graphic design that you can imagine, including intricate details.

Traditional uniforms need to be kept in storage systems that are heavy, hard to move, and take up valuable space in the band room.
McCormick's uniforms are wrinkle-free and foldable. This saves space in your band room by eliminating the need for bulky storage systems. Each McCormick's uniform comes in its own mesh bag for easy and space-saving storage.

BREAK THE CYCLE.
Fabric-on-fabric construction is not the only way to produce a band uniform. Digital printing technology has enabled more advanced, faster, less expensive systems and is capable of yielding better uniforms at half the cost.
At McCormick's we use our advanced printing technology to create dye-sublimated garments that are vibrant, comfortable, fast to produce, and capable of incorporating design detail not previously possible.
THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
