It is of high importance for the band to present a dignified professional image during public events and it is only appropriate that the personal grooming and appearance of individual members appropriately match and blend into the quality and professional image of our performance uniforms and dress. It is for this reason that we have adopted the following polices:

• NO visible tattoos – please cover appropriately so as NOT to call attention to them;
  
• While it is strongly recommended that there be NO visible jewelry worn, in the event where a student has piercings that may not be reasonably removable, very small studs that DO NOT call attention to the individual (either by size or color) will be allowed;
  
• NO visible bracelets and rings that either call attention to the individual or might interfere with the playing of the instrument will be allowed;
  

Hair: 

• Well groomed
  
• Black Hair elastics– Clips must match hair color
  
• A natural color
  
• Black ribbons (thin ¼”) Must fit neatly into hat or must be tied out of face and may hang down past the uniform collar
  
• Gentlemen must be clean shaven or have their facial hair groomed.
