Costume is a broader term, which includes uniform as a subset. If I were to wear an army uniform to a costume party it would be considered a costume. I don't understand why costume is considered pejorative. DC has always been donning costumes, they just happen to be military uniforms for the most part.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only speculate as to why some people are so insistent on removing the term “uniform” from the modern day outfits of DCI performers.

Sounds like me when I came back after a 10 year hiatus. “Wth are they called trumpet and tuba now?”. And that was before the key change.::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exhausting batting down all of your straw man arguments especially on a Sunday! In 1974 I wouldn't have wanted to have worn whatever they did in 1934, so it's not a stretch to think the same holds true for the current generation. That said, I believe that marketing a change of uniforms (as the Cadets have) to a "more modern costume" is a mistake and a turn-off to (most) 17 - 21 year old young men. From what I read most here disagree and some mock this notion. That's fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we folded I wanted to wear one and play Crown Imperial. We had family in Connecticut and it could have worked out, but ultimately decided to go to college and drink instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
