MikeN Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 ? Hah - no argument there, but I meant corps uniform proper, not guard. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cixelsyd Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would like to see the angel uniform from last year, with gold trim changed to green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hah - no argument there, but I meant corps uniform proper, not guard. Mike Oh. In that case, I'd have to agree with you that we haven't had any major misfires in quite some time, if ever. (I can't think of any. Can anyone else?)

MikeN Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I don't mean to drag this thread into DCI What Not to Wear territory , but here are a few questionable choices from semi-recent history ... Glassmen's 94 - One fringed epaulette and a cowboy hat? http://www.dci.org/images/news/2009/01_09_2009_glassmen_94.jpg Kiwanis Kavaliers' 1999 pillow-padded shoulders? http://www.stmichaelscollegeschool.com/-r167947 Spirit's faded jackets (some may disagree with me here) http://www.marching.com/photos/2008-dci-world-championship-quarterfinals-photos/spirit.jpg And of course, Madison's slightly-controversial 2007 jackets... (warning - big pic) http://behindthescenes.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/100_3553a.jpg I can handle white Cadet unis... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 What the top corps have figured out is that they really don't wear a "uniform" anymore so much as a "costume". Costumes can be tailored to fit the current program, while still retaining certain traditional elements. The Blue Devils, Carolina Crown, Cadets, and Phantom Regiment are the best examples of corps that have really considered costuming of the corps proper in overall design in recent years, with a lot of success.

DCIHasBeen Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Regardless of the year, or the uniform...If there was no controversy about the Cadets, Hop would invent one. He's a showman, and understands the value of controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPendergrass Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Regardless of the year, or the uniform...If there was no controversy about the Cadets, Hop would invent one. He's a showman, and understands the value of controversy. I don't really agree with that. All of our conversations (not many) have been completely accomodating and cordial, but controversial topics such (such as scoring, judging, show management, corps specifics) he can get very heated and to the point. He doesn't appreciate the controversy, from what I can tell. Seems much more upset by some of the close-mindedness in the activity, than he is happy about it. I could be wrong, but that's what I've gathered in our 8 or 9 conversations in social settings or in passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 now the quarter of a million dollar question is how late into the season do they again get new guard uniforms? That'll of course be determined by how many people complain about their initial uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
