New Band Uniforms

Bishop Guilfoyle Academy Marching Band

Exciting news for the Bishop Guilfoyle Academy Marching Band!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our campaign to raise funds for new marching band uniforms! Our current uniforms, which are over 30 years old and were acquired second-hand, no longer reflect the pride and dedication of our talented students.  They deserve uniforms that are both new and special!

We are excited to collaborate with Fred J. Miller Inc., a family-owned business, in the uniform design process. Their professional designers have gathered input from band members, staff, and the Bishop Guilfoyle rebranding initiatives to create a design that not only reflects our school brand but also enhances our students' appearance on the field.

The design features three golden bars, symbolizing our core values of Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge. We hope you will love our new design as much as we do!
