Custom High School Band Apparel: Create Your Own

When it comes to outfitting your high school band, having the right mix of apparel not only boosts team spirit but also ensures everyone looks polished and performance-ready. 

Whether you're gearing up for marching band season, band camp, or concert performance, here are some of the best apparel ideas to design and sell using Fourthwall’s product catalog:

• Performance Tees & Band Shirts: Lightweight and breathable, these are perfect for practices, warm-ups, or casual spirit days. Customize them with your school name, band logo, or fun slogans like “Band Is Life” or “We Bleed Treble Clef.”
• Zip-Up or Pullover Hoodies: Ideal for chilly mornings at band camp or late-night football games. Add your school colors, section names (like “Low Brass Crew” or “Color Guard”), or marching show titles for a personal touch.
• Windbreakers & Jackets: Great for travel days and competitions, especially in unpredictable weather. Choose school-branded designs or go bold with show-themed custom apparel.
• Polo Shirts: Perfect for band directors, leaders, and formal performances. These give your group a professional and cohesive look at concerts, parades, or festival appearances.
• Sweatpants or Warmups: A favorite for rehearsals and downtime between sets. Pair them with tees or hoodies for a coordinated team apparel look that’s both functional and comfortable.
• Caps and Beanies: Top off your band merch line with baseball caps or winter beanies featuring your logo or mascot-great for fans, family, and fundraisers.
• Marching Band Spirit Wear: From concert shirts to custom sports jerseys, every member of the band (including color guard, drumline, and pep band) can find something that suits their style and section.

No matter which items you go with, make sure your designs reflect your school spirit, music program pride, and the energy of your band community.

Adding your design on custom apparel using Fourthwall is simple, user-friendly, and designed to bring your creative vision to life. Whether you're customizing a hoodie, t-shirt, or sweatshirt, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Choose & Customize Your Apparel: Start by selecting a product from Fourthwall’s catalog-like the Gildan Classic Crewneck Sweatshirt. Click “Design Now” to open the customization studio and begin editing your apparel.
2. Upload Your Artwork: In the left-hand upload tab, click to browse your files or drag and drop your artwork into the upload area. Avoid glow/fade effects or semi-transparency for best print results. Stick with clean, bold outlines.
3. Customize Placement & Size: Once uploaded, click the image to see it on the garment’s front, back, or sleeves. You can resize or rotate your design and adjust the layers using the three-dot menu on the image. 
4. Preview Your Product: Click “Preview” to view your design as it will appear in your store. Transparent backgrounds will auto-adjust to blend with your theme.
5. Add More Colors (Optional): Click the “+” under the color palette to offer more color options for your design. Ensure your artwork looks great on all selected garment shades.

Once published, your design is live and ready for customers to explore, purchase, and proudly wear-bringing your custom creation to life with every order.

For any product from our product catalog, quality is guaranteed. Our team  manages all customer support on your behalf for these orders.

If there is a print error or visible quality issue with the order your supporter received, we’ll replace or refund it!

Because products are made to order, however, we do not accept general or sizing-related returns.

There are no monthly fees, no upfront costs, and no contracts to use Fourthwall. You set your prices and choose your own margins. Here is how our pricing and splits work when you sell:

• Products from our product catalog. The cost of a product from the product catalog (which you can monitor during the design process) gets deducted from the selling price you set. There are no extra percentages/margins. You keep the entire difference.
• Products you self-source. No fees

Additionally, all US-based credit card transactions have an added 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing fee (same as Shopify). Fees vary for PayPal and other providers. Learn more.
