Design that shows up

Bring a napkin sketch. Leave with a showstopper.

You have a vision for your program. Maybe it is fully drawn out, maybe it is a stick figure on the back of an order form. Either way, our designers take it and run.

We build custom apparel and show props that put your band, choir, or team in the best possible light. No design fee, ever. Whether you hand us a finished concept or a rough idea, our designers make it yours, not a template anyone else can buy.

Why directors switch

One choir director used to lose four class periods every season sorting shirts by hand. The next year, every order showed up bagged and labeled by student. She got her week back.

The kind of story we hear all the time.

Common questions

Questions we hear a lot

Do you charge a setup fee or require a minimum order?

No. There is no setup fee and no minimum order.

How do families pay for their orders?

Families order and pay online through your store, so the director and treasurer never collect paper forms, checks or cash.

Do you sort orders by student?

Yes. Every order placed through the store is individually bagged and labeled with the student's name.

Which programs do you work with?

Band, choir, orchestra, color guard and theater, plus booster clubs and teams.

Do you ship, or deliver to the school?

Both. We ship nationwide, or deliver a sorted and labeled order to the school for handout.

Is custom artwork included?

Yes. Custom design is included. Bring a finished idea or a napkin sketch and we build it.
