Old Marching Band Uniforms Recycled Into the "Redcoat Tote"

The Berlin High School Band Parents Association is thrilled to recycle the recently retired marching band uniforms.  These uniforms were worn by hundreds of marching band students for over 30 years in hundreds of performances in Berlin and beyond (Disney, Boston, New Orleans, and many other locations).

 

In the past, the only viable option for getting rid of old marching band uniforms was to send them to the landfill.  Thanks to The Inconvenient Bag, a company based in California, old uniforms can now be repurposed and given new life.  Other than the inside pocket and lining, each Redcoat Tote is made entirely out of the old marching band jackets and sashes. (Please visit marchingbags.com for more information on turning old uniforms into new bags.)

The availability of the Redcoat Tote is limited to the number of old marching band uniforms available.  When you purchase a Redcoat Tote, you are purchasing a piece of Berlin High School history and making a donation that will help support the band program.
