Pride Of The Hill Uniform
In 2010 we decided we would add to what uniform we had
by investing in a new tunic and a 2nd pair of trousers for our 25th Anniversary.
Our current shirts and trousers (black) are only one year old so the band as a
whole decided to keep these but also extend the variety. This will now
enable the band to swap and change what we wear depending on the weather etc.
Our band hats will remain for the forthcoming season however those that needed
replacing will be replaced and a new badge will be added to the front.
As any band knows we viewed many
samples and had many discussions over the new design, colours and placement of
badges etc and eventually we came to a decision which the whole band is very
thrilled with. More detail and pictures of our uniform is listed below -
Trousers Black
As you can see from our trousers our 1st pair
consist of being mainly black. We have wore these trousers for the
last year and are made from a good quality material. As you can see
the are of a basic military design with having a single silver striped line
down the outside of the leg. They have a bigger belt strap as our
belts will go around top of them if we are wearing our shirts. |

Shirt
As you can see from our shirts they are all black
with silver trimming
on the epaulettes on the shoulders. They have our band badge just on our
left breast
and also in the middle of our back just under our shoulders. Each
sleeve is embroidered with have the initial P.O.T.H. representing Pride of the
Hill. To set the shirts off we have a thin white rope around our right
shoulder.

Belt
On our uniform we have a military style white belt. Our belt is
made from a PVC material which really stands out. The buckle on the
belt is silver which the Latin phrase "Dieu Et Mon Droit". When
wearing our shirts the belt will be worn around our trousers, and when
wearing our tunics it will be worn over our tunics and around our waist. |

Flute Pouch
As you can see from the picture our flute pouch
is a long V shape to hold our 3 piece Miller Wicks. This attaches to our
white belts and helps protect flutes from damage and from being lost. The pouch
is around 12 inches long and is made leather and is a hard material which is box
shaped. On the front the pouch has a strap and buckle to close over to
make sure the flute stays inside the case.

Hat
The past few hats that we have
had have been designed as peaked hats rather than a berry hat. The whole of the hat is plain
white apart from the peak, it is also all leather. We chose to go
for peaked hats as the band thought this design looked a lot smarter and was
moving the band in a positive direction amongst the band scene. The hats
being all white really stand out when you see us walking on parade. We
also have the added touch of our band badge pinned the middle of the hats.
