  1. What I think is causing spacing errors to be more apparent is the lack of a horizontal element. With the old uniforms, each person was divided into three prominent bands of color: maroon, gold, cream. When in a drill formation, the bands visually link side-to-side, connecting everything. So even with the light pants, spacing variances don't jump out quite as much. With the solid black, and no horizontal anywhere, you read each person as a vertical black peg, and it is immediately noticeable if each peg is not the exact same distance apart. Interesting.

    With the Angel/Demon uniforms, they all had the gold horizontal cummerbund as a unifying element, so the side-to-side connection was present there.

    This is a great analysis. To piggy back on this, the contrast in colors certainly added some nuance with regards to 180 degree movement. For instance, the sash is prominent on the top portion of the uniform. As they turn back field to front and vice versa, there is a visual pop from 90 degrees (where you don't see the sash) to 180 degrees either back facing or front facing (sash fully visible). Just a VERY minor thing but enough to maybe mean something... perhaps... no.......yea....nay....ok maybe not.

  2. Something tells me that Cadets have something up their sleeve that we will see only on Saturday night. I have no idea what it is, but I think there will be "something." Neon stripe on the pants perhaps?

    Hop will make the Drum Corps world go bananas by introducing a uniform based on the following color scheme:

    DCP will be shut down for days as the conversation about uniforms reaches a pinnacle.

  3. 08-09? Fairly recent! Very cool. It's still my hope that a corps will do a throwback show one day (one can dream right?). Those sops sounded like melted butter to my ears when they were in tune:)
