The Berlin High School Marching Band has been wearing the same marching band uniforms for 30 years (band uniforms are only expected to last 15 years). Parents and community members have donated countless hours to salvaging the currently dilapidated uniforms, which are years past due for replacement.

As a nationally recognized band, the accolades should speak for themselves. However, appearance should be commensurate to the musical prowess put forth by students.

We petition the Berlin Town Council and Board of Education for the approval and allocation of funding for new marching band uniforms in the 2012-2013 school year.
