UHS Band Announces Fundraiser For New Uniforms

    After two decades of service, the Umatilla High School Band has announced it will be retiring its current marching uniforms.  This week, the band has formally announced a fundraising campaign designed to have new uniforms in place by this fall.
    Band leaders this week released images of the new uniforms, designed to bring a fresh, bolder look to the band as it takes to the field. 
    “The uniform is our band’s identity and brand,” said director Yannick Innis.   “We have worked with a wonderful design team to develop what we believe is a modern, yet classic and sleek uniform for our students. The quality of these uniforms will be second to none. We anticipate this new set of uniforms to serve “The Marching Bulldogs” for another decade.”
    Each new uniform costs an estimated $350, and several dozen are needed.
    The band has created a variety of sponsorships that allow area residents, businesses, and even non-profit organizations to join the campaign. 
    “Every uniform sponsored takes us one step closer,” to the band’s goals, said Ennis.
    Tax-deductible donations can be made in a variety of ways.  Interested parties can scan the QR code shown to be directed to options, or checks can be mailed to the Umatilla High School Band, 320 North Trowell Avenue, Umatilla, FL 32784. 
    Additional information can be obtained by emailing Innis at innisy@lake.k12.fl.us.
