coatsgirl16 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 What colorguard started the tradition of wearing show-themed costumes instead of "variations of corps proper" uniforms? ~C PS - and if anyone knows why and how it was initially received - that'd be interesting too.

GMichael1230 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Just off the top of my head, 1990 Cadets/1990 Blue Devils(Or the year 1990 in general) .....up until then, most guard outfits were either a variation of corps proper, or kept more than one year.

Malibu Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Didn't Bridgemen's guard wear something different in 1981? I know the year before that they had some guard members dressed like circus animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deftguy Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Phantom's colorguard wore costumes in 1982 for the Spartacus show. They also wore a costumed variation of the guards previous uniform in 1981. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I believe 1980 would be the first year for "costumes" in guard. Edited March 25, 2004 by Malibu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
