Probably only us nerds who actually paid attention to the small corps. It wasn’t looked upon as radical as far as I can recall. I think it worked for a small group like that. Third place in DIII with 13+/- horns. it was a one off, not the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the DCI rule book, section 4.6.2, "By the word "bugle" as used herein is meant; any traditionally defined brass instrument pitched in any key; where sound is produced by the vibration of the player's lips in a tubular resonator." put that out on some of the alumni laden Facebook pages....they'll Scotty Pirtle you to death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I understand what you are saying here, but Regiment didn't abandon their style. All Black, All White, a few combinations - even the tan years - none of it left you wondering who it was marching on the field. I liked how they started using small accents to customize to show themes while never abandoning the identity embedded in their uniforms and headgear. You could argue the same for SCV pre-2018... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It's costumes now, not uniforms for most corps. I asked in a poll back in 2016 when Bloo won with white costumes with black squigglies if costumes were going to become the norm for horns and battery, and most thought they wouldn't. But here we are anyway. I don't care much for this particular sea change, but there are dozens of other things that define each corps for me. I took a look at FJM and Stanbury today after seeing that BD was switching. It looks to me like FJM tends to be more traditional, but I don't really pay that much attention? Is that accurate at all?

You can't assume either company is traditional or not. They simply produce whatever the corps design for them. For example, Boston, Cadets, and Bluecoats all had Stanbury, but they certainly had nothing in common style wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
