Band Uniform Sizing Guide
Welcome to this guide! To correctly size a person for a uniform you will need a flexible measuring tape and an electronic device (Chromebook, iPad, etc.) to input the sizes into the Google Sheet. For this process, we will provide both of these items for you. This works best with two people; one to do the measurements and one to input them into the document. DO NOT try to measure yourself, the readings will be inaccurate and will result in receiving a uniform that fits poorly.
Setting Up Google Slides
Head to your drive and make sure you have access to the file "AHS Band Uniform Sizes." The link has been shared with your school email. If you do not see it, please let one of the directors know ASAP. Open the document and type the name of the student who you are sizing under the column that says "NAME". Format it as: "Last, First"
Take Head Measurement
Place the measuring tape around the head, making sure it is above the ears and eyebrows.
Input Head Measurement
Input the student's head size (inches) under the column that says "HEAD".
Take Chest Measurement
Student's arms should be relaxed at their sides. Measure around the fullest area of the chest, under the arms, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
Input Chest Measurement
Input the student's chest size (inches) under the column that says "CHEST".
Take Back Measurement
