Members
Code of Conduct:
- Gaucho band members are required to stand at all times the ball is in play unless the member has two sticks in his or her hands and is sitting in front of a drum set. Anyone who sits during the game must either be sick and have sympathy from his or her section, or else has automatically volunteered to drop off and pick up the soda orders for the entire band.
- Obscenities shall not be yelled out during a game. If obscenities are yelled out during a game they shall be conveyed in a matter that is unintelligible to the referees on the court. Consult your local trumpet player to find out how to swear in German.
- Eligibility for the Big West Conference Tournament and the NCAA Tournament pep band positions will be based on attendance. This may include attendance at extra-circular activities outside games and practices, including charity events, fund raisers, and member-sponsored social gatherings.
- All members must be cool and /or interesting human beings. Members who can be classified as "tools" will be ridiculed endlessly. Special exceptions may be given to members who play brass instruments.
- Shopping at Ralph's will be frowned upon. This rule is declared to be invalid if it is found that Ralph's sells Peanut Butter Gaucho cookies
- Read and follow the NCAA Rules so that the band does not get thrown out of the game or give the home team a technical foul.
Attire:
Remember to wear white or yellow shirts and jeans (or shorts). Usually members wear one of the many Gaucho Loco shirts that we are sure to receive during the season There's no telling what our "fashion savvy trombonist" may do if you forget.
Members will be provided with a poncho ('cho) during every basketball game to be returned at the end of the game. Official Gaucho Bandito hats will also be provided. DO NOT remove the strings from the hats. Members willing to provide washing and drying services for the ponchos will be loved and admired.
