Puppet Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Joe, A couple of guys tried to wear them in 71...but they were told to leave and come back when they had their haircuts. They came back a couple of hours later. Part of the problem is that they wore the cheesiest and cheapest wigs that existed..they looked ridiculous. And, from the office of the redundancy office: There will be and never has been a head carpet that didn't look cheesy, cheap and altogether ridiculous. With my basketball-sized Afro in 1969, I am so glad that the Kodak gods were dozing down in Miami we all looked like clowns! Not so bad once you got the shako on but I gotta tell you!

So....did your 'fro take on the shape of the shako once you took it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe S Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Funny , the guys in 1973 must have gotten them from the same wig shop!!!Sort of looked like a couple of cat pelts on their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppet Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 So....did your 'fro take on the shape of the shako once you took it off? Jeeeze! That would have made me look like the original Kid 'n Play! But the answer is no ... This is however what I might have looked like at a rehearsal. The nickname Puppet instead of Tootsie Roll Pop was just fine by me.

BOBSMYTH Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 A lot of hairnets worn throughout the late 60's and early 70's. Especially when it was an Inspection show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornsUp Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Especially when it was an Inspection show. True story. The 1969 Cavaliers just pasted down every stray hair with Larry McCormick's stash of butch wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Weenie corps, no hair nets (and plenty of hair). In Regiment ('76) wore it once then went and got a hair cut. Never again! Edited August 5, 2011 by Rocketman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
