Weird Uniforms

For a good laugh, go to the DCI website and find the section about eye-catching uniforms for this year. What in the heck happened over the winter? Blue Devils are weird, Cavaliers fits their theme but I don't know about them yet, but Carolina Crown? Enjoy the chuckles!

What did you do in the Corps? Snare; Drum Major; Drum Instructor/Arranger

What years were you a Corps member? 1970-73; 78-79

Re: Weird Uniforms

Haha.

Drum corps gets more strange every year. Some very strange suits there ... especially Carolina Crown, Blue Devils, Cavaliers, Gold.

Boston, Cadets, and Phantom still look great. Madison is good too, except they overdid the gloves and sash. (Opinion)

Re: Weird Uniforms

I just looked at the changes in some of the uniforms---OMG! What were some of these people thinking.That BD member
looked like he was wearing bloomers.Carolina Crown would have been better off staying with what they had.I like the
Boston Crusaders uniforms,nice,and very traditional."Don't like the HOCKEY TEAM" Garfield is nice as well.Cavaliers,I don't
care what they wear as long as they keep losing,sorry but that's the way I always felt about them.What were all those feathers
I seen for the Blue Devils?Is that actually part of their uniforms?I'll be seeing most of these Corps when I go to DeKalb in
July,it'll be interesting I know that for sure.
