84BDsop Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Been there - done that. Oh God yes....my high school uni was a heavy and hot @^%$#$##$&! That's one thing I appreciated about the BD uni in the 80s...that cavalry cut and the ruffles only being a dickey rather than a full tux #### made it much more comfortable to wear, even though the jacket itself was heavy wool. I DID kinda feel for the poor guys in Suncoast during a day show, tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocko the Wonder Llama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Wool kilts can be toasty enough. Nice in decent weather. Hot weather, your "junk" gets saunatized.......... :cool:/>/> "Brain bleach - STAT!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The info about the Bluecoats selling the uniforms (current and past) was posted on their own site several months back. That it was an Ohio H.S. that bought them was posted and discussed elsewhere here on DCP....and because it is on DCP, doesn't that make it true, ha, ha?? http://www.drumcorps...-2012-unifroms/ If the 'Coats were selling two sets of coats, perhaps both statements are true. Of all the DCI major corps, I am the least familiar with their inner operations even though I have been to Canton and some of my former students have taught within their organization in major ways. The one inside rep I persistently hear is that they have the nicest Spring training facility of all DCI corps, Dennison College. Of all their shows, I like "The Boxer" best. Yes Dennison is one nice facility. Maybe they are selling both sets the ones from 2007-2009 & the 2010-2012 set. that would make sense.

MikeN Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ok, did a little digging in the photo galleries on Corpsreps.com, and here's the best I can tell - Blue Devils – last changed in 2011. Carolina Crown – last changed in 2010. Phantom Regiment – last changed in 2009 (may be 2011, as mentioned in this thread) The Cadets – new in 2013? Well, new change, but back to old jackets. Santa Clara Vanguard – last changed in 2012. Bluecoats – new in 2013. Boston Crusaders – last changed in 2009 (is this right - were the jackets new, or just replaced the black piping on the old ones?) The Cavaliers – last changed in 2010. Madison Scouts – last changed in 2010. (may be changing this year per this thread) Blue Knights – last changed in 2008. Spirit of Atlanta – last changed in 2010. Crossmen – last changed in 2004. (as mentioned in this thread) Blue Stars – new in 2013. The Academy – last changed in 2011. Pacific Crest – last changed in 2009. Colts – new in 2013. Troopers – new in 2013. Oregon Crusaders – last changed in 2006. Design, anyways – the jackets themselves may be newer. Jersey Surf – last changed in 2013. (Changes every year, I think.) Mandarins – new in 2013. Cascades – last changed in 2011. Pioneer – last changed in 2010. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckdan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Boy things have changed since I marched! In 1982, my last year with Troopers, I had to get a larger size. When my mother began to do a few repairs on the pants she found a signature and date from 1965. I guess I probably had one of the "newer" uniforms. Lets just say that it was very common to have unexpected "ventilation" during shows. I guess it was probably a good thing to make sure you had clean "drawers" just for the shows. (Although I do remember a snare drummer going "commando" and having a "wardrobe malfunction"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Ok, did a little digging in the photo galleries on Corpsreps.com, and here's the best I can tell - Santa Clara Vanguard – last changed in 2012. Mike Just the jackets changed for SCV. The pants, shoes, and aussies were the same. The jackets and gauntlets were new for this year. I think my first year, I had a uniform from 2003 or 2004. After that, I had a new uniform every year because of corps and uniform changes. Edited April 19, 2013 by fsubone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 just wondering aloud what the cost is today for new uniforms for a corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsudrummer Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Pioneer – last changed in 2010. From what I understood of the change, they got new jackets in 2010. I think the bibs are still from 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
