Uniform Inspection
Guidelines
The following is a list of instructions on care and wearing
of the uniform. We will also be using this list as the inspection
guidelines
1. HAT - Hat should be worn straight on top of the head. Hair
extending below the collar will be worn inside the hat. EACH
STUDENT WILL EARN HIS/HER PLUME AS SOON AS THE REQUIRED MUSIC IS
PLAYED-OFF BY MEMORY. Plumes are very delicate and damage rather
easily.
2. COAT - The coat should be worn completely buttoned and
fastened at all times when in public unless otherwise specified by
the director. In hot weather we will take off the coat. The
marching band t-shirt must be worn under the coat without
exception.
3. TROUSERS - Trousers should be worn without a break in the
crease, not touching the shoe. Parents may alter pant length, as
long as no material is cut.
4. SHOES - Shoes should be white and clean (You may use a mild
cleaner). Solid white socks will be worn. Initials should be
marked on the sole of the shoes.
5. GAUNTLETS - Gauntlets should be fastened as tightly as
possible. The flared end should be in line with the heel of the
hand. Gauntlets, cumberbuns and gloves are usually not worn in the
stands.
6. GLOVES - Gloves must be kept completely white and should
fit. Hats and gloves are usually not worn except during
performances.
7. JEWELRY - Only watches, finger rings and stud earrings are
allowed: no hoop earrings. Guys, no earrings of any kind!!
8. HAIR cannot be on or below the collar, or you must wear a
hair net. This includes girls and boys.
9. BRASS INSTRUMENTS - Valves and slides must work freely.
Mouthpieces must be clean and horns polished.
10. WOODWIND INSTRUMENTS - Reeds should be clean and without
flaws. Instruments should be free of dust and dirt under the keys.
Pads should be in good condition without frays.
11. PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS - Drum heads should be clean and
drum shells polished. Cymbals should be polished.
12. MUSIC FOLDER - must be presented during inspection with ALL
copies of required music in the proper order.
13. UNIFORM CLEANING- It is the students responsibility to make
sure that their uniform is clean for each performance. Talk to a
vetern band parent about how to wash the uniform pants. Also make
sure the gloves, t-shirts and shoes are washed every
performance.
14. Absolutely NO "NON UNIFORM" CLOTHING may be worn where it
is visible. BASEBALL CAPS AND DO-RAGS WILL BE TAKEN AND NOT
RETURNED! If it is cold, layers may be worn underneath the coat
and pants. Occasionally, permission will be given to wear a plain
dark knit pullover hat and light winter gloves in extremely cold
weather. Walkman's, video games, etc. are not allowed in the
stands. Pompoms, balloons, party gifts, *food baskets, etc. are
not allowed. We are a Band, not a Nomadic Tribe! *If a SECTION
LEADER wishes to bring gifts or snacks for their section, they
need to bring this out during the 3rd quarter only. We suggest
that students bring WATER and CRACKERS to the games (no chips,
candy, cheese burgers, etc.). They may eat during the 3rd quarter
only. NO GUM, EVER!
15. After performance events (football games, contests, etc.)
students will usually be allowed to change out of their uniforms
while on the bus (just prior to returning to Farwell). Uniforms
will be checked-in to section leaders, and left at FHS. Students
who ride home with their parents must give the uniforms to their
section leaders prior to leaving the event.
