DRESS CODE

When we go to work any venue in or out of town we are STILL representatives of our Local and of our brothers and sisters. We should always put our best foot forward whenever we work in any room contracted or not and we should always follow this dress code.

  • NO SANDALS or open-toed shoes. This is physical labor so you must wear shoes that enclose your foot. Wear sneakers, work shoes or work boots. All jobs payrolled through us require steel-toe shoes or boots.
  • LONG PANTS that are denim or jeans type are acceptable. Cargo pants (Paramedic or law enforcement style are the preferred pants. (Sweat pants are acceptable Loading, Rigging, or on an arena floor but SPANDEX IS NOT ALLOWED.)
  • In the warmer months shorts (short pants) are acceptable. Should you wear shorts make sure they end at your mid-thigh.
      • Take this test before you leave your house-
    1. put on your shorts, stand up.
    2. Now let your arm hang down at your side.
    3. Find your middle finger now add 1" to it and that is were the bottom of your shorts should be. And again NO SPANDEX!

  • T-shirts with the IA 347 Logo are preferred however you can wear a standard NON OFFENSIVE t-shirt or shirt that is normal to our type of work. NO SPAGHETTI STRAP TYPE TANK TOPS ARE ALLOWED.
  • ALWAYS CARRY SHOW BLACKS WITH YOU OR WEAR THEM FOR THE LOAD IN CALL. This outfit should be long pants, black or dark colored shoes and of course a black shirt. IF you do not have your blacks you will lose your show call.
  • Tools are part of your wardrobe. Always have your work gloves, a crescent wrench (aka C- wrench, adjustable wrench or spanner) and a gerber or leatherman type tool on your person. Please see the tool list on the tool page.

    • PARKING

    The USC venues do not provide for free parking. The Township Auditorium has parking available on the adjacent streets. Harbison Theater has free parking at the back of their lot.

    Please review the map for USC parking. You may also visit USC Parking online:

    Always park legally. Leave time in your schedule to account for parking. Columbia uses the Passport Parking app to pay for parking downtown.
