Yesterday we played for an outdoor wedding in the mountains. Even though it's mid-May, it was pretty chilly. Probably around 12 degrees Centigrade (54 degrees F) at the time of the wedding. It was also slightly breezy. We tried to play for chilly weather by wearing layers of clothes, but this didn't help the cold nose and frozen fingers problems.

Anyone who used to play in marching band here? How did you keep your hands warm during the late fall/early spring ball games?

A lot of marching bands wear these little white gloves. Works for percussion, brass, many woodwinds.

One member tried wearing gloves with the fingers cut out, but it felt too restrictive.
