These Uniforms rules may be updated and amended as needed.
Marching band uniforms will be provided by the Band. Use of this uniform is dependent on proper care of the uniform and payment of band fees. Damage or loss to the uniform will result in the student having to replace the damaged uniform part or parts.

The uniform pants will need to be hemmed in most cases. Do not cut the uniform! Uniform pants which are cut must be replaced at a cost of $100. Hems should drape to the tops of the shoes without “tenting” or “folding”.

Uniform numbers will be assigned during band camp. After assignments have been made, a quartermaster (student officer) and the Assistant Band director will be in charge of keeping up with these numbers. Each band member will have a band t-shirt. This shirt is part of the uniform and is required to be worn underneath the actual band uniform. Failure to meet uniform requirements is grounds for disciplinary action which may include loss of 3rd quarter break, loss of performance privilege, or other action to be determined by the band director.

• Instrumentalist and Colorguard
  your uniforms and garment bags are the property of the Murray County Band. Even though the instrumentalist uniforms were purchased by the School Board, we still are responsible for replacing and cleaning them. These uniforms are to be on their hanger at all times not being worn. This includes to and from games and competitions. Each of you have a garment bag and those should be carried to and from games. In summation, the uniform either needs to be on your
  person or on a hanger in the garment bag...not stuffed in a cubby hole in the storage room, stuffed on the rack on the buses or stuffed in a carry bag...this makes the uniforms un-presentable when we do our performances and also allows for loss of buttons and tearing of uniforms. Student at are responsible for taking care of the uniform assigned to them. Consequences will be assigned for failure to follow uniform rules.
  
  When we go to competitions, please make sure and take your garment bag and a change of clothes (blue jeans/shorts and band T-shirt) as you will not be allowed to wear your uniforms while you are not performing. You should wear your band shirt under your uniform and take pants to change into.
  
  
• Majorettes and Colorguard
  should bring a change of clothes, which includes their band shirt and jeans/windsuit. They shall follow the same rules as the other band members regarding storing of uniforms. Majorettes are
  the only section of the band that will clean their own uniforms and keep in their possession.
  Guard will be cleaned as the other band uniforms are cleaned and should not be taken home.

Again, all uniforms, except for Majorettes and Drum Majors, are the property of the Murray County
Band and the above rules must be followed by every band member!

Regards,
Band Staff and Band Booster Officers
