Uniforms

[king_kool360]

I dig bangles. They're awesome. Too bad they would clash with our uniforms. I don't recall seeing any uniform like ours with the "button-up" style. Most uniforms have the flap-thing.

Bowie's uniform has been my favorite for a while. Some other uniforms I think are cool are CP's, and Pflugerville's new one(They're sweeeet)! Somebody posted those Pasadena Memorial uniforms....... wow. Those are amazing.

 

 

 

Personally, I don't like uniforms with sashs(sp?). I'm not sure why though......

 

 

 

We're getting new uniforms next year too! w00t~! If they get the ones that we were supposed to get this year, they are going to be sweeeeeeeet X infinity^2. When we got the "prototype" and it was modeled by one of our members, I nearly came on the ceiling.

 

lol

 

I won't give anything else away except they are the complete opposite of what we have now, which is a good thing. I'm excited for them.

 

 

Also, I love the type of hats that the Cavaliers have. Those are great. I heard though that if you're not like 6 feet tall, they make you look short. Is that true?

i like broken arrow's just because it adds a huge effect to their marching, like last years GN finals, half the visuals were them turning to show the white side of the pants, and it worked...

Ya anyone who has the Cavalier/SCV style hat (Pasadena Memorial) is a BAMF in my book.

But i bet they had one fun time making sure EVERYONE was PERFECTLY in step... because i bet a judge in the box is like 'where is the white leg outta time?' but i do give them massive props for being able to pull it off.

 

Also Cavalier hats are pretty spiffy... I also like the Bluecoats/ Phantom style Helmet look... IDK its just awesome to me. Maybe cause its different than just plain old Shakos.

that is false. our hats look fine on most people. we have some shorter people in the band, maybe 4'6" or so (idk) and they look normal in the hats.

 

I can see where that idea can come from though, since the plume is about a foot long.

 

I'll get back to you on this after this next football game.

I [like someone else said] am one of the few people in the world who like our uniforms. I don't really pay attention to people's uniforms. Here's pictures of our uniforms.

Broken Arrow has one of the most innovative uniforms in the activity. The half black/half white pants can create a huge effect when doing "ripple drill" or body movements. However, the drill can be a nightmare to clean when it looks as if the band is wearing two different uniforms.

[borchnork]

I believe Sherman did something like that 3 years ago, if I understand this correctly.

 

What they did was had woodwinds wear white pants, and brass wear black. It reminded me a lot of salt and pepper. =]

I think our uniforms are alright kind of plain, I really wish that they added the sash to it, maybe next year...

Marian Catholic HS from Illinois did the woodwind in white pants and brass in black for a few years in the early 2000s. With Broken Arrow, their pants were white AND black.

 

Their uniform is pictured below:

 

Broken Arrow's uniform is just a simple pallet---black and white. But to me, the uniform adds effect, depth, and a sense of elegance to their shows. I highly recommend watching their 2004 (Pure Imagination), 2005 (2-4-6-0-1 Les Miserables), and 2006 (Aqua) shows to get the full effect of the uniform.

 

Here's a short video if anyone is interested. It's not the greatest quality but the visual is still there. The video is from their amazing 2004 "Pure Imagination" show. The black and white visual comes in at around the :18-20 second mark.

 

Unfortunately, Broken Arrow did away with the black and white pants just a few weeks prior to Grand Nationals and marched all black pants at Grand Nationals. Someone from Oklahoma said it was because a judge at the BOA St. Louis Super Regional harped on them about it because the black/white pants made the band extremely dirty, visually. I kind of wish they left the black/white pants in regardless because the show lost a little appeal to me at Grand Nationals without the black and white combination and the band was still dirty with the black pants.

Leander's uniforms are soo old haha. Needless to say the sequence on our baldrics are less than shiny. haha

wow, I actually like that a lot. thanks for the picture, because I'm horrible at making images in my head when given a description. Disappointing that they didn't use those.

 

I wonder how they order shoes though...

[mbui]

By the way, right after you posted...I added in a link to a video of Broken Arrow in my original post so you can check the uniform effect in action.

cool, I just watched it, and that's pretty nifty. At parts it looked like some kids were marching with only one leg. lol. I think Hendrickson had a similar sort of effect with their uniforms this year, didn't they?

[radchad]

I'm a fan of black uniforms. I like others, too, but black is mi favorito.

 

My Top 3 Favorite Uniforms:

 

LD Bell - I used to think they had ugly uniforms. I thought the grey pants were wooof. When they got new uniforms, I nearly had a panic attack. They are so nice and the style is frikin' cool.

 

Crossmen - Dude. These uniforms are tight! There is nothing about them I hate.

 

Phantom Regiment's Mid 90's - These black uniforms with the small cape on the back. darn. These uniforms just look amazing. It may be because of how amazing they performed that show, but all I know is the silver instruments looked sexy with those uniforms.

[the terminator]

yeah I love Crossmen, and Phantom. Hate the cadets I think it is pretty lame, and Marcus that gray hurts my eyes but not their music. I don't like ours when we go all navy, I like the silver breastplate

[gavinrh]

i like the cadet's double sided uni's... marcus's gray shoes, and broken arrow's drum major? uniforms? maybe? someone said that it was more than just drum majors... the ones with two colored shoes

[chickora]

Yeah, Bowie's uniform is super kool. I like those Broken Arrow ones.

HOLLA

[Trumpet of Doom]

I like Westfields and Marcus', I thought the old L.D. Bell ones were hidious until I saw their new ones. Goodness, I think i'm drooling just thinking about them.

[takigan]

I think they look pretty freakin awesome!

 

Personally I'm a fan of the Woodlands current uniforms......All-black is pretty awesome as well.

Wow, I loved the old ones! Especially with the white pants. The grey pants made it a little hard to see but I love the classic military look.

 

Thats the same reason I like the cadets uniforms so much

[G'townPIT]

Anything with black and red, like crossmen's or colleyville's, looks so sinister and freakin awesome. Crossmen is my favorite, the aussie just adds more BA-ness to it.

 

I also really like jersey surf's new ones.

[ftwdrummer]

i like reagan's uniforms, circa 2003. The all-black with just the sash gets me every time.
