Everything You Need for a Winning Marching Season

At Bandmans Company, we design performance wear that helps teams take the field with confidence. Since 1969 in Chicago and subsequently 1981 in Dallas, we’ve been creating high-quality uniforms and apparel for marching bands, color guards, majorettes, and dance teams across the country, as well as for the entertainment industry.

We blend smart design with reliable construction—so every group not only looks great, but feels great performing. From custom uniforms to warm-ups and accessories, we focus on pieces that are durable, comfortable, and ready for the spotlight.

Our team works closely with directors, performers and movie studios as well as advertising agencies to bring their vision to life, offering fresh ideas, fast communication, and dependable delivery. Whether it’s a full marching band or a small guard team, we’re here to support your season with style, value, and service you can count on.
