MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS BAND AND PERCUSSION STUDENTS: 1. Have students wear lightweight clothing when being measured: allow no sweaters or bulky clothing that might distort measurements. 2. Keep the measuring tape straight and against the body - but not tight. Do not add or take inches away. 3. Assign one or two people to do all of the measuring; this should ensure better consistency. 4. Measure according to the instructions and diagrams below. CHEST: Measure around the entire circumference of the fullest part of the chest. A-B-A

WAIST: Measure the entire circumference of the natural waistline. C-D-C

HIPS: measure 7 inches down from the waistline, and then measure the entire circumference of the hips - E-F-E

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT: Use a tape measure for accurate height measurement. Use a scale for accurate weight measurement. Measure a person’s height from the top of the head to the floor with no shoes being worn.

WRIST: Place your index finger over the person’s wrist, and measure around both the wrist and the finger. This represents a more accurate measurement for a gauntlet to be worn over a jacket.

PERCUSSION MUST SUBMIT TWO MEASUREMENTS: SNARE AND TENOR PLAYERS 1. Measurements without your harness on. 2. Measurements with your harness on. Measurements: around the fullest part of the chest, and remember to include the back hooks of the harness. Around the waist just above the small connection hooks. * Bass drum players do not require these measurements since they are unable to wear a jacket over their carrier.
