Gloves during practice?

[Dmmaestro]

Just a question for the Drum Major's.
After watching some drum corp and high school marching band practices. I've seen that a lot of their Drum Major's conduct with their
gloves on during practice. My question is why do they wear their conducting gloves when they practice? Hahah this questions just been killing me forever.

Many times it is so the band can get used to looking at the same things at all times.
