Hook'emCavies Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 You know, it's weird that they aren't selling the corps flag for the 75th anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this trend gains traction. I just think Headwear "finishes the look" of any corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even more mass applause) It's more unified and easier to identify the corps. I obviously understand it in WGI, but DCI needs to be different... in a sense. My buddies always used football as an example. Imagine the Texas Longhorns wearing a uniform that wasn't burnt orange or white, but it was silver and gold. The longhorn symbol is not on the helmet and thr color of the helmet is purple. Who are they? I'm not trying to bash WGI or anything like that, but in drum corps it makes sense for things to be a bit more unified. It's just a better way to identify the corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having taught both indoor guards and winter drum lines, I get the whole facial expression/emoting thing to connect with judges and fans. I doubt however if it is possible to emote effectively at Allentown, San Antonio, or Indy. On the other hand, Headwear helps with uniformity and visual clarity, imho.
