WEARING AND STORING THE UNIFORM
1. Always wear and treat your uniform with pride. The uniform should be worn as a complete unit at all times when in public. The only exception to this will be when a director instructs you that you may remove your helmet, gloves, or coat/gauntlets. Never wear jeans under your uniform.
2. The band t-shirt is to be worn under your uniform and tucked in at all times. The t-shirt will also be worn for pep rallies and must be tucked in during the pep rally.
3. You must wear approved marching band shoes and the appropriate colored socks.
4. Jewelry (except senior rings and/or engagement, wedding rings), hair ribbons, bright colored nail polish, etc. is unacceptable while in uniform. These items hinder the uniform appearance of the band. Watches may be worn as long as they cannot be seen while wearing the coat.
5. Band students with long hair will need to put it up under their helmet during performances.
6. Natural hair colors will be the only style of color accepted.
7. No consumption of food or drinks while in uniform without permission.
8. Keep the collar hooked while hanging to retain the shape of the coat. Make sure the coat is zipped and hanging correctly on the hangar. Always hang the pants.
10. Keep your helmet in the helmet box at all times when not being worn. While we are in the football stands the boxes are not to be used except in cases of rain. Helmets will be place to the left of the performer in the stands. This is to keep individuals from picking up the wrong hat.
14. In the case of rain, all helmets must be dried prior to placing them back into the helmet box.
15. Plumes are stored in the plume case. Each student is responsible for obtaining a plume prior to each marching band performance and turning the plume back to the plume case after the performance.
16. If repairs are needed for your uniform, please see Mrs. Cummings so that arrangements can be made to fix the problem. If a repair is necessary because of student neglect the student will have to pay for the repairs.
