 They featured red capes and red navy-style dress uniform hats (similar to the ones worn by the Navy ROTC at PHS).The current uniforms have been essentially the same since at least 1955, with the only noticeable change being the crossbelts.Originally they were just one sash crossing over the body; the current ones have two sashes (which in 1955 were worn by the field commanders) that criss-cross the band member with the right one over the left one.
