The switch to yellow flags would be great When they added the drumline swells I wasn't a fan hearing it on the live stream. At first I thought it was another corps warming up nearby lol...but when I saw them live that swell actually gave me chills during the solo. I love it now.

Yeah, I heard the drum swells live in Allentown. I just don’t like it for such a sensitive moment musically . In a dome it will probably sound worse maybe if they take the volume/dynamic way down it will work better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a large chunk of last night trying to find a true photograph of one from that timeframe, and ended up falling down & into too many rabbit holes. But I think that, by & large, most folks really aren't aware of it & frankly wouldn't care if they were aware of it - just those of us who grew up surrounded by & paid attention to Civil War history. I agree, nobody really cares if it's exactly historically accurate or not. The uniform looks awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture is I saw had a Confederate yellow sash on the Union "uniform ". The 11th Ohio cavalry was Union. Yes? Anyways, I guess it's just a little thing, but they tout the ties to Fort Caspar, just pay historical accuracy. I guess. Or not.... I dunno. Stop nitpicking and ankle biting. The Troop is killing it.. It has been years and they are back !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see "historically correct" anywhere on the DCI judging sheets, or in the 2023 show description. So what is your point? Anyhow, Troopers have not done "historically correct 11th Ohio Cavalry" since prior to 1970, when they changed to a cavalry uniform with yellow trim resembling that of the popular TV series of that era, "F Troop". This became their iconic look for all time. And you only notice this now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daave Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 You're absolutely correct, I apologize. No one on DCP has ever nitpicked the 'costuming' of the 'cast members and performers'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is an activity that (correct me if I am wrong) actually intends to be historically accurate, right? If Troopers were claiming their costumes are historically accurate 11th Ohio cavalry, then criticism would be fair. I believe there was some degree of confusion over that in the 1970s and 1980s as those uniforms may have been cavalry, but no longer 11th Ohio. But I do not see where that claim applies to their 2023 outfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
