Re: Questions for military band members

For the ARMY:

I just had a class on the latest Army regulations for female lengths of hair. Yes, if you make a bun out of it, length does not matter (as long as the bun is not more than 3 1/2 inches straight back from the scalp and cannot be wider than your head). If you do a shorter length, it cannot be more than 1 inch different in length from the front versus the back and the end of the hair cannot extend beyond the "top of the collar" (of the uniform).

My personal recommendation is to contact specialty bands first and take their auditions first (NO recruiter - just contact the band directly). If that does not work out FIRST, then talk to members of regular army bands SECOND (still contact the musicians FIRST.....try to avoid the recruiters for awhile, they don't know much if anything about the bands). Once you have taken a "field audition" with a Band Liaison (for the Army that is) then you can see a recruiter. Recruiter know EVERYTHING about getting you enlisted!
