CHECK OUT OUR NEW UNIFORMS!
After many years, many bus trips and many many miles of marching, the Muchachos now have new uniforms!
Early 2009, a uniform committee was created. This committee consisted of Muchachos members representing all aspects of the corps, from the Staff, the Horn Line, the Percussion Line, and the Color Guard. These folks represented both the Alumni and the new members as they solicited ideas and preferences from anyone who wanted to voice their opinion. [Read more about our new uniforms.]
