Reed Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 OH YEAH! Now I remember the name. She was drum major in 1995 and 1996, if I remember correctly. How could you forget '97?!? That's the year of the great DM uni! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckdan Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's called corps PRIDE. Some obviously have a more meaningful and intense connection to it than you do. You may think it's silly, but others may not. Doesn't make them wrong (actually, given the history of drum corps, quite the contrary), but they just have a different impression of what it means than you do. If you see it as a "band uniform", then to you that's all it will ever be... Bingo, my good sir!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glory Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 voted for the blue devils. for some reason i really like that half-skirt thing... I love the BD "tail," as I call it. Makes for some interesting looks. HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassEXPERT Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I love the BD "tail," as I call it. Makes for some interesting looks. HH It also hides one of their legs! I chose the cadets because of their classic west point style uniforms, even though the plume was a little bit too tall this year. Also, I can't help but love the stripe that everybody else has abandoned. I definitely think bluecoats come a close second/ maybe tie for first though. They invested further into the glam cop look that they started in 07 and it is totally working for them. -Expert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Don-O Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) I was torn between Phantom and Bluecoats, but in the end I went with Phantom as it's both a powerful look and also iconic. It hasn't changed all that much over the last 20+ years and it has associations for me with so many great shows. 'Coats have a fantastic look also, and is my favorite of the new breed of uniforms.

Tom Brace Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 OH YEAH! Now I remember the name. She was drum major in 1995 and 1996, if I remember correctly. 1996 and 1997, so I once was told: Shostakovich and Wagner. 1996 was my favorite year. I remember her being so objectified by people (read men) on RAMD. She was/is just a regular member, who was backfield in 1995 when Roderick Saunders was the podium conductor and then she was promoted in 1996. Then there was also another woman,a rook-out in 1996 and she was backfield. Only time in Regiment's history they had two women conductors. But, that uniform turned heads.

losnickes Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Here is the results of Day 2, as of about 9:45pm: Well, Phantom Regiment is still in the lead (no surprise), but the Madison Scouts are still close behind. Still no love for the Cascades or Mandarins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvs me sum mello! Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 They are the same uniforms that bands use.... and I marched there. We called them Band uniforms Band hats band shoes etc I said band uniforms as a pun that some corps over-exaggerate and act "mean" all the time while in uniform...its a band uniform...calm down.. lol uuuuuuuuuh.......what? I know this. I was pointing out how The Cavaliers really don't care about the word band. And as you've pointed out, often use it in joke form. Way to miss the point. Kinda like 1st place, you're just not gettin' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POSITIVenrgy Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Without a doubt....Santa Clara Vanguard! Their crisp red and green is so clean and sharp on the field. Not to mention the aussies with those beautiful, white plumes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I voted for the Scouts, but I'm surprised that there isn't more love for the Vanguard. That is one of the classiest and coolest uniforms of all time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
