The 27-year old Wilton High School Marching Band uniforms were transported to their new home at Moulton-Udell Community School in Moulton, Iowa in late May. Their original destination was a school in Chicago but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, alternative plans had to be made, according to former Wilton band director Pete Wyatt. Pictured, above left, are the Wilton Marching Band uniforms from the past 40 years. Cassie (Ervin) Parrott wore the uniform style on the left her freshman year and wore the middle uniform style after that. Richard and son Jacob Creamer were part of the first and last classes to use the middle uniforms. Cassie's daughter Malea Parrott wore the old uniforms for two years before becoming part of the first group to use the new uniforms last fall. The uniforms on the left were donated to an inner city school in 1993. The middle uniforms were used for 27 years (most uniforms last 10-15 years according to Wyatt) and were donated in May.
