I might not have to ask, even. For those of you who haven't seen many uniforms this year, check out corpsreps.com for pics.

I have to say Phantom's are purely kick-butt. But Madison isn't far behind, they have a pretty sweet design too! Simple, yet sweet. Other opinions?

I would have to agree phantoms are pretty cool. Phantom has always had the best uniforms in my opinion.

I won't voice my opinion on how ... ahem... visually and aesthetically appealing the drum major for Crossmen looks this season.

Well of course, Phantom has an amazing band uniform, Why not make phantoms drum major uniform equally as amazing. I love how phantom has nothing really special in the way of uniforms either, White with a black sash and gauntlets, Full black on the Drum major, but it looks so amazing.

I've got a soft spot for the cadets uniform too. But I do think thats one of the uniforms that looks better on a guys body. Not trying to sound like a prick, But In my opinion the uniform looks better with broader shoulders and chest.

Phantom's DMs look pretty friggin amazing this year with their capes - purple on the 2 backfields and red on the lead.

Haha..and one thing about the Crossmen drum major uniforms - the sewing ladies make sure they FIT. I know quite a few people who have to go commando in those uniforms. No lines.

Kristy Spears FTW.

But yeah, Phantom's DM uniforms look pretty sharp this year, with the gold accents. Very cool. Not to mention the backfield conductor has a knife.

Off Topic - Tory. I saw you in Denton, TX. But I didn't want to creep you out.

On Topic - I had to laugh at the facial expressions of all the other drum majors marching behind Troop's drum major to the awards presentations. If you've seen it, you understand what I mean.

Off Topic - You should have said hi, dang it!

On Topic - There's a really good reason why he walks so slow. It's because back in the day, the drum majors would walk through the ranks and inspect every single uniform of the members. The DM that got to the side lines last usually won. So it's kind of like a small victory every single night during awards for us to keep that tradition. Plus it's dang sweet to see & hear everyone's reaction to the drum major walk. It's amazing.

Off topic - Yeah, I know Kirby. Take a look at his Dinkles. I signed the inside of the left one, I think. It's worth millions now.

Back on topic because I know better - If Troop ever has a female drum major, the uniform would be crazy awesome. They'd probably pull the Black dog look from way back when.

Kirby said that they have had a female drum major once, though he didn't go into detail about the uni, he said it included a skirt.

Either way they should do the black b-word (I'm underage smile ) look again. Things like that never get old.

They've only had one before in like the 70s or something. And yeah, it includes a skirt and knee-high black boots. It'd be awesome.
