MikeD Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Any other type of hats that were hits in the past, besides shakos (including the new Crown-type wraps), aussies/cavalier/Troopers/Bridgemen, bobbie helmets? Sombreros on a few corps, inc one of the great corps of the early 70's, the Muchachos... Edited April 17, 2015 by MikeD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleran Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 forgot about sombreros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My guess, if they played their cards right, most, if not all, of those in this BAC pic have returned to Heaven by now.., not to Hyde Park. Is that for the view or the company??? :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I think their guard wore Cadet-style jackets with shakos and plumes. That was later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Tuma Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sombreros on a few corps, inc one of the great corps of the early 70's, the Muchachos... That's more of a Spanish gaucho hat than a sombrero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Correct, Brian. Mike's will start to do push-ups once his lumbago* departs. *Side effect of being a non-snare member back in those experimental years of the late '60s and '70's. Back strain also was the trophy of many a 'percussionist" back then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
