What is the consequence for wearing colored nail polish at a performance?

Wearing colored nail polish at a performance generally incurs a consequence of one demerit. This policy is often in place to maintain uniformity and a polished appearance among drill team members, as certain aesthetics are crucial for team presentations. The minor penalty of one demerit reflects the seriousness of maintaining proper dress code without heavily penalizing the member for what is perceived as a less severe infraction. This approach allows for a structured system of accountability while still promoting adherence to team standards, ensuring that members can learn from their mistakes and improve for future performances.
