I'm pretty sure that would be the best show ever in the history of DCI....exaggerated yes, but still awesome

Dalton, Ga ----- Canton, Oh.......about 615 miles

I would go with Euphs, because those things are huge!

2000 Boston Crusaders......"Time To Say Goodbye", not so much that exact arrangement, but more the song. But either way it's an amazing ballad

I think the white uniform is too much in line with the Bluecoats DM. I think I'd actually like it with all black, and maybe sparklish-stuff in baby blue in the delta? Would that work?
Good call, I do like it in all black a lot better then white

Here's my thought on what a Spirit uniform design could look like. It's heavily inspired by the concept of their uniform in the late 90s that used a jacket opening to create the delta.
As always, I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts. Thanks!
[/img]This is how I would do it, same basic idea that he had but with some modifications

Make the delta bigger and a tad higher and its perfect, reminds me a little of the original Spirit of Atlanta uniform, but more contemporary....anyway, I like it a lot, you should send it to them.

This is coming from an old school drum corps guy so this subject hits a bit close to home.
There was a time when you can look at any corps from any distance and in subduded light and in the fog and know who they are. Cadets used the exact uniform that the West Point Cadets used. Devils had the Split Bolero Jacket and tux shirt, Madison had the "Scout" uni. SCV was unique in theirown right! Each corps had their own identity!
All the uniforms now are all carbon copies of each other in one form or another. Change of color here, a plum there. You look at a silhouette of any given corps and I bet you can't tell who they are. Is it Phantom or is it Bluecoats. Is it Crossmen or Madison. Cadets, Boston, and BK essentially all ware the same uni in different configurations!
Thats what happenes when an entire circuit relies on the same manufacture to produce everyone's identity! FJM!! Not a bad choice but they change very little from one corps to the next. At most you recognize a color of a uni or the specific pattern which was used onthe front to determine one corps from the next!
Don't get me wrong! They give a very good body line, They are sharpe but, they are all the same no matter how many configurations you put them in.
To answer the original point of the thread. I think they are all hidious! Bring back a happy medium of the past in their look and I would be stunned! What there is now just doesn't do for me anymore!
FJM is not the only uniform company out there, you forget Stanbury

Is this like a continuation of the Hawthorne Muchachos? If it is that is, then that would be fantastic news!

The sewed elastic onto our existing pants with velcrow on the end, and put a pocket on the pants to put it in and sewed another piece of velcro onto the pants

He wasn't there for semis or quaters, it happened about a week or so before finals and the drumline just closed his hole

You sure are representing your organization well, way to go.
By the way, I'm sure I could find plenty of ticks at the Bluecoats camp this time of year too
You're not a world champion yetYou can't judge a large organization on one member's opinions or observations and yes I realize it is an April camp. When I go through ours I see people mess up. You don't need to be so biased with your opinion

Did anyone notice the contra out of step on the right side?
-
Is there any video footage of '75 muchachos?
-
Has anyone seen 96 phantom? come on
