Dream Theater Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Had a curious question when watching the corps this past Sunday. I personally don't remember ever seeing a female drum major for the corps(I could be totally wrong). My question is, "If this is the first female drum major they have ever had did that play play into changing the uniforms and more importantly the drum major's uniform?" Over the years I remember the corps changing the uniforms in some way, but the DM never changed. Just curious and not here to create some conspiracy theories.

I have no information to offer at all, but here's my take on it: It makes it easier to do a major uniform transition because of the difference in gender on the podium. I love my corps, and I loved when I marched. I'm so glad they've taken this step. It's been a long time coming. Now it's time to actually do more and push forward.

2muchcoffeeman Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Frist female DM for Troopers? Yes. The reason for the uniform change? No. It was a confluence of change, to be sure, but the broadening of the Trooper's design horizons was going to happen anyway. It had to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Yeah, it's kind of funny that after all these years, they just ripped the band aid off with no real fanfare, and now because of how radically everyone else is changing their look, it's just "huh - they did it." Good for them! Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to recall when the last time that happened. Eventually I thought, surely it hasn't been since '73?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
