BigDale Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks for posting the Scottish Piper unis, Pioneer is Irish. Sorry Boy, all of those bands are Irish and the ones in tartan are wearing Irish family tartans! Or at least the ones I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baritone13 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i agree that they need a new sort of headgear, but i think giving them an aussie would just make it look like a better version of the madison scouts uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmroth1 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) so its basically 50/50 now. i guess that is why they havent changed them yet Here's the problem....... The Poll is bad..... It's not 50 /50 It's 85% change. Only 15% of the people recommend staying with what they are wearing now. All others have other recommendations..... Aussie[ 34 ] [52.31%] Shako[ 15 ] [23.08%] Helmet[ 3 ] [4.62%] Keep what they have[ 10 ] [15.38%] Other (describe other)[ 3 ] [4.62%] Edited February 18, 2009 by bmroth1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussglassman Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Pioneer comes out every single year, which is a huge thing nowadays. But, thats kinda where the line is drawn. I have a deep respect for everyone in the Pioneer organization, and I feel their staff and membership are some of the classiest, nicest people in the drum corps activity. I think that Pioneer has a unique vehicle with which they really can do whatever they want, without any committed design concepts to hold them back. I think they should create a cleaner, more classic look. I think they should play music that holds respect for their traditions while creating a more entertaining and competitive production. I think they need to spend their $ and resources on recruiting, and developing a bigger program which is more structurally sound and musically proficient. If they were to hone their focuses on being truly competitive, then the concept of "what uniforms should we wear this year" would really mean something. Until then, its just another tweak that will go unnoticed if they don't step it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDale Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 black and white photo from 1971 program, photo most likely earlier...not sure about headgear...depends on what part of the photo that catches your eye I have seen thousands of pics at the corps hall. I always remember the kilted drumline back then, but this pic clearly shows the drumline in pants. I think one of the most beautiful unis I have seen in years is the Toronto Optimist Alumni: Takes them back to their roots, relatively inexpensive and an AWSOME look on the field. Although, once a corps drops shakos, it is usually for life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salad315 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 If Pioneer had unis that allowed me to march a show without wearing pants, I would have been there in a heartbeat! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
