I’m at my wits end!!

Marching shoes…

It’s a constant battle of shoes being left all over the band hall after events, “someone stole my shoes”, kids forgetting their shoes, and kids not having actual marching shoes at all.

In your program, what’s the consequence for not having marching shoes for an event? How do you get parents to buy the correct shoes? How do I get them to stop taking someone else’s shoes when they forget to bring theirs? Do you have them store shoes at school or do they keep them home? How do I keep them from getting left behind after events?

Please tell me any and everything. I’m getting so frustrated by something that, in my eyes, shouldn’t even be an issue.
