mjoakes Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I know why it’s not impossible to imagine a Scouts financial mgmt reason behind the uniforms not arriving. It doesn’t sound so far like anyone here has any evidence for it, so it’s just speculation. And isn’t right now, start of the tour, a good time for corps’ cash flow?

Reposting that Stanbury post about weather was a really terrible decision. There was a post on Facebook from a Stanbury sales person that stated that it’s hard for Stanbury to keep up with such high demand of corps (and marching bands) getting new uniforms every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combia1 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Folks, I've worked with Stanbury several times for uniforms. Both with a World Class Drum Corps, and with high school bands. And I was in my college marching band when we got uniforms from Stanbury. Their production facilities and schedules are extremely efficient and they run a tight ship. Every time I have worked with them, our orders have "come off the assembly line" and out the door they go - often at the last minute. This could all be due to last-minute tweaks and changes from the designers, fabric availability, etc. And I trust the folks at Stanbury. When they say storms came through and knocked out the power, I have no reason to NOT believe them. Like mjoakes said, anything else is speculation and baseless rumor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenanne_1536 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don’t know what the reason is for the no uniforms. It is surprising to me that they didn’t have them weeks ago. I do, however, remember 1993 Star wearing the 1992 uniforms for a couple weeks into the 1993 season. So, let’s not jump the gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still had a plan other than T-shirt’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenanne_1536 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Ah, a friend just sent me a picture. It looks like they are in uniform, or at least partial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenanne_1536 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) And they are, of course, A ####### disaster. Good Grief, someone save this corps from this administration. Edited June 23, 2019 by queenanne_1536 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
