KINDA like cavies in 2016 at finals retreat when they came out in their green version of the uniform. yup - been floating the idea out for years now that they have (much) better leadership hopefully the organization can make this happen for the membership as you mentioned, Cavaliers as well. Or corps with iconic looks such as SCV, Troopers etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWonka Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 OK not to sound too "get off my lawnish" but... Did we not already have enough to spend money on without replacing the hornline costume every year? Also I was about 1/2 watching someones warmup today while working and looked up and could not tell who it was. Had no clue. Had to read the title of the video. And get off my lawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new style performance wear is much less expensive than a traditional uniform in most cases. So while changing annually is more expensive it’s not as much a difference as people think 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vs unis that are growing things in them by midseason. I was just weirded out by looking up when someone was doing a tuning sequence and having no clue who it was even though they are a Top 5 corps. And my lawn is holding up pretty well so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these new uni go into a stuff pack back pack so easier to transport and for the members to warmup and change and lets face it the traditional uniform were being replaced every year or two anyway these days, so early costumes may be cost neutral in some situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there not one corps that actually wore 3 outfits one a top the other in DCI a few seasons back, discarding one to reveal the other. Not as cumbersome as you say.
