Ok, One day at band camp it was really hot and sunny so i took a sip from my friends gatorade and he didnt want my lips on it so i pored it in my mouth and i missed and got red gatorade all over my shirt. So i was like ok, so i took it of and put it under my harness. 10 minutes later my BD walked over to check on the drumline and he freaked out on me! HE started screaming " Boy put your shirt back on this isnt the swimming pool" he was pisssed. So has anyone ever had this probblem before i mean i See other highschools,corps, Wgi, etc.. do it all the time!?

DCI and WGI are NOT the same as high school is. We require kids to keep shirts on at all times at the school I work with. Girls also can't wear bikini tops at any time.

I agree with that rule. There is enough testosterone running around that we don't need to help it along.

At my school, we had practice during band class and after school, but we only had to obey dress code during class. Unfortunately, part of the dress code was "no hats," and the band was not excepted until halfway through my final season.
The drumline found ways to comfortably keep our shirts on; most of us just rolled the shirt up as high as it would go... I wore a button-up shirt unbuttoned, and one guy sometimes wore a white T-shirt that he either ripped a big hole in, or cut off the belly part -- anything to keep cool; it got pretty darn hot this year. If we were technically wearing a shirt, I don't think the band director wanted to stand up to us.

At our school, there's an unwritten rule that you have to at least have a wifebeater on at rehearsal and during band camp. Everybody understands what's appropriate for a school-related activity, which means they know not to go shirtless, and bikini tops aren't acceptable for the girls either. It's just a mater of self-respect and respect for the group.

I know at band camp, all the guys had to keep their shirts on.

But during our drumline summer practices a few of the guys would go shirtless. I'm not sure if there was a rule against that or not. And as for the girls, we preferred to keep out shirts on.

we've never had a problem with peoples shirts or anything, but this year me and the other snares are determined to get carrier tans.

hopefully the director won't mind

We never had rules with guys with no shirts. The minimum girls were allowed was a bikini top with a top figure over it; tank top, sleevless shirt, whatever.

We tried to pull a fast one and got all the guys in the line to take off the shirts when everyone reset to the top. Didn't work. BD got complaints and we lost. BD isn't around during Winterline however... we're shirtless when it gets hot.

used to be able to go shirtless until we got a new director. also our principal finally figured out what we were doing and gave the bd some crap so now he jumps all over us the second someone takes their shirt off, even at night practices when the principal is at home.

funny how rules apply to certain groups in the school, band guy takes their shirt off, we get chewed out. football player (last years record 0-11 the "perfect" season) takes their shirt off and nothing happens.
