Thank you, Wikipedia..........however I'd guess that if you did a google image search for "sombrero" and for "gaucho hat" you'll be viewing two seperate and distinct kind of hats. Back off topic.......did they trade their sombreros for tams, or a balmoral??? Tam O'Shanter: Balmoral: -

There were also several highly competitive drill teams in Eastern Wisconsin that fed some members to local drum corps--Green Bay's Northern Step, Sheboygan's Buccaneers and Accents, and Greendale's Mariners. -

Ahhh......the early season in the Midwest was something to behold. Besides the aforementioned Madison "disco" show, we also had PR ascending to elite status, Cavaliers changing in style from silk cadet to naugahyde standing man, Kilts tanking and suffering the ignominity of being beaten by the Pioneer, Blue Stars attempting to hold winter camps in two seperate cities with inglorious results, Guardsmen and Marquis making a move on finals status and Osage being not far behind. Mmmmm.........1976. -
