hostrauser Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So, when Carolina Crown unveiled their newest unique uniforms last year, one of the things that fascinated me the most was that odd headgear. They work in the traditional elements, or variations on them: small brim, offset plume, etc. But it's a shako without the top, so the corps members' head/hair is exposed. Fits around the head, no top... why, that kinda sounds like... ...a crown. Carolina Crown marches wearing shako "crowns." Please tell me I'm not the last person in the universe to figure that out (even if I really am). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I had never thought of that myself. This realization could be your crowning achievement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjaydub Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well sure, but your real lightbulb moment will hit you when you have figured out the meaning of the stripe. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyWonder1911 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 lol...no you're not the last person in the world. I had never thought of that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I feel vaguely like someone mentioned this last season, though I had completely forgotten until you mentioned it. Obviously using the forum's search tool for the word "crown" will be of no help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyWonder1911 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just wait until the day DCI is so incredibly popular that corporations such as Burger King will sponsor drum corps. "On the field...from Bentonville, Arkansas, performing their 2028 production "Always Low Prices", the Wal-Mart Warriors!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveKathyG Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hadn't thought of that at all. Nice catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
