Rocketman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Don't get too excited, it's not what you think. I don't know how longs it's been going on but, Regiment alumni have been bringing their old corps t-shirts to shows to give to current Regiment members. I personally think this is an AWESOME thing to do. Unfortunately, I had sent a lot of mine to the DCX Museum. I have reached out to them to try and get them back and am awaiting a response. In the meantime, while it may be too late for this year and since I won't be attending any shows in person, I am reaching out all Regiment alumni or even those of you that may have old (or not so old) Regiment, (or other corps) t-shirts to donate to the cause. I am willing to be the repository of the shirts and I am sure the corps would love it. Rather than post your responses here, please just message me. Sincerely, Edited July 23, 2023 by Rocketman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutasaurus Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 This started back in the Pat Seidling days. Between me and my mom we gave the MMs about 40 Regiment t-shirts that we collected over the years. Corps management handed them out during corps history night. They loved them and it was so cool seeing the MMs wearing them at practices. Talk about a win-win. I also donated a couple of “antique shirts” to the corps’ fundraising silent auction. Come to think of it, I may have some extra shirts to donate to the cause. I’ll see what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Oh cool! I used to have a 1988 shirt from the Romeo and Juliet show. I think it was "Summer of Romance" or something like that? It got into the donate bin some time ago I guess because its not with my other shirts. All i have now is the 2020 "Summer Off" shirt I got because it made me laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 bluecoats do this with shirts and member jackets, they gat passed down to the corps members, and the jackets get passed down in individual sections when the member that had it ages out. not sure about the shirts, they just might be kept by the member that gets them.

Rocketman Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Update! I talked to Bill Ives from the DCX Museum and he has agreed to send back the Regiment T's I sent him after they have been inventoried and photographed. I told him there was no rush to get it done this year. So, for anyone else that may have sent him Regiment Ts and you want to participate in this great opportunity, pleas reach out to him using the 'Contact Us' link on the DCX website - DCX - Drum Corps Xperience (dcxmuseum.org) Thanks in advance for your participation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutasaurus Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Okay boss, I found a couple. What’s next? Are we amassing a large number of them and sending them at once or do we mail them to someone at Regiment directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I haven't heard back from Tony yet so, let's hold off until I know what to do. I am hoping to get a large number of shirts rather than just a sprinkling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
