LancerFi Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Back in 1976 we had to be navy blue tops - I cannot remember if our bottoms also had to be navy blue. I believe Ralph Pace thought during the winter months (basics) it would help the staff get the consistency they were going for. When I see the tape of the documentary done for Channel 4 it's very noticeable when they show the guard. Also that year just prior to tour the rifle line decided to buy the same sneakers - but that was a sectional - let's do something together type of thing.

Snapettes Mom Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Body Amore should take this on. UV protected sports wear. Skin cancer does kill or deform. ack! 4 oz mini Camel bags also should be utilized while doing a run through. Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzycat1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have worn a cowboy hat on the practice field many times... Once wore a cowboy hat, a snare drum, and nothing else! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR_ducky Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I know one of the corps I taught had to wear white t-shirts to rehearsal before tour. As everyone here knows I am sure, it can be an issue in drill when you get used to looking for Fred's red hat when guiding to a spot, then when everyone is in uniform and looks the same, problems arise LOL I remember vividly our first dress run thru in 89 in uniform, was a little messy to say the least.

The Voice of Logic Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 This is insane. It's hot on tour...VERY HOT. Nobody cares what color everybody is wearing on the rehearsal field, because it's too hot to wear more clothing than is necessary. On days during which a clinic is being given, corps typically wear specified shirts and/or shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sopchick_01 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It has nothing to do with stiffling creative energy - it has everything to do with functionality. Most corps members don't wear shirts during rehearsal, and the shorts are either section based or a set color (so the staff can quickly see what section is where).However, I've often joked that New Balance should look into sponsoring a corps - I'd say more than half the baris wore them when I marched. And Gatorade. Wouldn't that be nice? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) If you're talking about anything relating to SHIRTS, then you've already lost my interest. Anything entailing me having to wear one in drum corps while I rehearse = no. Suit yourself, but most radiologists and dermotoligists would strongly advise against getting burned by a thermo-nuclear generator like the star we call the sun. Malignant melenoma is not a cool thing to have. Not many patients survive it. Good luck. Edited March 15, 2007 by Piper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malignant melenoma is not a cool thing to have. Not many patients survive it. Good luck. Wait a second. I think I remember something being invented-- what was it called again-- star--no--sun screen? Yeah I think that's it. I heard it has varying levels of protection to protect people from certain amounts of UV radiation when exposed to the sun. I mean, I could be way off, but I think it's been around for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Logic Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 #### sapiens has a great tool for helping to protect him from the sun: melanin. As we get more sun, our skin secretes more melanin, darkening our skin and helping to block UV light. Oh yeah...there's sunscreen, too. Any other bright ideas about how not wearing a t-shirt will ultimately kill you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
