Getting parents involved is tricky. When I was an assistant coaching a dance program while in college, the head coaches were sick of the parents complaints about certain apparel. The coaches made a poor decision to let the parents design warmups and a uniform. The girls hated the uniforms and refused to wear the warmups. Parents, while their heart is in the right place, don't necessarily understand the difference between uniform companies and price/quality. And, (at least in my experience) involving parents and giving them a sense of power can create problems... especially if they're in charge of decisions regarding their Susie.
