NEISD requires each student to pay a $25 cleaning fee before a uniform will be issued to a student. This money is separate from the $250 required band fee collected by Mac Band. To help the directors, we will be collecting the money at uniform fitting day. The money included in the required fees will cover the cost of any needed alterations.
Uniform items owned by NEISD and issued to members by the band consist of:
- Black bibber pants
- White/blue short-sleeved marching jacket
- Blue long-sleeved marching jacket
- Tux jacket, Dickey, Bow-tie (Boys only)
- Black Concert Dress (Girls only)
- Hat
- Plume
- Gauntlets
Band members must supply:
Marching Season:
- Solid black knee high or mid calf high socks (no ankle socks)
- Black marching shoes
- Show Shirt (paid for in the required fees)
- Gloves
Concert season:
Girls:
- Black hose (knee highs are acceptable)
- Black closed toe shoes, no sandals or flip-flops
- A full or half slip appropriate to the length of the concert dress
Boys:
- Perfectly black socks
- White t-shirt
- Black band shoes (may be the same as marching shoes)
Appearance:
Care of Uniforms:
To achieve the goals of the band, band uniforms must, at all times, be carefully cared for and worn properly with pride. Issued band uniform items will be stored and kept during the school year at the school. Each band member is responsible for his/her issued uniform at all times and must be sure to store it at school. When not in use, the uniform should be properly hung; the hat should be boxed and all items should be properly stored in the school’s uniform room. During each use of the uniform, members must promptly put on and remove the uniform and not leave it, or parts of it, on the floor or other locations where it may be damaged or soiled. Uniform items the members must furnish shall be kept by the members and washed or cleaned as necessary. Each time a uniform is to be worn, each member must bring with him/her clean band shoes, black socks, show shirt and all other items announced. Band shoes are not of a material that can be polished. Members must, however, keep the shoes clean and free of scuffs, stains and dirt. Shoes may be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Care of hair, nails, make-up, buttons during marching season:
No nail polish or makeup may be worn with the band uniform. Hair may not touch the collar of the uniform and members shall provide sufficient pins, clips, nets or holders of a color as close as possible to the member’s hair color to secure their hair under the hat and off the uniform collar. Hair shall be secured above the uniform collar before the uniform is put on and shall be kept so secured until after the uniform is taken off. Hair shall not be brushed, braided or otherwise styled while the member is at the performance site. Except, as permitted by the band director, and, particularly when in public, the uniform should be fully buttoned or otherwise worn properly.
Cost to replace uniform components:
Any uniform item that is lost or rendered unusable through negligence of any members shall be replaced by, and at the sole expense of, the member. The original cost of the uniform was as follows:
- Black bibbers 104.25
- Blue jacket 220.75
- White/blue jacket 115.75
- Tuxedo jacket 104.75
- Dickey 18
- Bowtie 5.50
- Concert dress 85.00
- Hat 50.50
- Hat box 8.50
- Plume 18.00
- Gauntlets 21.25
- Hanger 4.25
Cost at the time of replacement may have increased. Shipping and handling cost will also be covered by the band member.
Cleaning:
NEISD pays to dry clean the uniforms three times per year and each member must have the uniform in the band hall to ensure the use of this service. Any uniform item that becomes soiled beyond use, at a time when it is not due for a scheduled cleaning, shall be submitted for cleaning by the uniform chairperson and the member shall pay all expenses for such cleaning.
Inspection:
Prior to roll call for all band functions, band members must be dressed in the complete announced uniform in accordance with the Uniform and Appearance rules. If failure to have a proper instrument, equipment, music, or proper dress/appearance cannot be corrected prior to boarding busses for a performance, the member WILL NOT PARTICIPATE in that band function, and may be subject to further discipline. Students should respectfully take redirection in regards to uniform and appearance from any band director and/or designated chaperones or uniform volunteers.
