I was completely unaware of the "clear bag" rule. My son is a HS senior, and is a section leader of his marching band. My husband and I roadie for the band and we were at the Yamaha Cup competition at Rutgers when we were told about the rule. Well I didn't have anything clear so I managed to zip my wallet into my fleece but it was suboptimal. Then I saw the thread here. https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....rts-venues So I have been surfing online for a solution since my son is planning to march at the college level and I am not toting a baggie. Most of the bags on amazon get poor review for quality. So I did want to shout out what I did find. https://kellywynne.com/collect.....e-day-bags I did buy a privacy pouch, same brand. They did not have straight black and I bought this metallic black/navy eclipse color. It looks very well made and elegant for what it is. I know pricey for a bag that I will only wear to games, but if art/theater etc require this (what is the world coming too?!!!) I now have something that I will enjoy carrying and not be a total eyesore. KW has small bags, larger clear bags also. I bought the one I thought would pass muster at the most events. But for anything looking for an upscale clear bag I wanted to highly recommend it.
