JackOfAllSticks Registered: 04/24/05 Loc: Aurora, CO	To tell you the truth, I can't remember what I posted. Hmm, oh well. Our uniform has been black since 1990. There's a big picture of the marching band kids from 1989, and their uniform is white, orange, and yellow. I'm guessing their shoes were white too. _________________________ "These are the same programs where the B.D. puts the kids with no talent or natural ability on cymbals.... now that's what I want. the one person on the field who couldnt' find count one if you hit him on the head with a stick (ala Mr. Holand's opus), playing the loudest instrument, that if you're off beat Helen Keller would notice."~ Bobo 2003-2004: Pit 2004-2005: Bass 4 2005-2006: Bass 3

Anonymous Unregistered	White sticks out better, if you have a great marching band..go with white shoes, if your marching band is so so at marching with hi toes, then go with black because it's not as noticable as the white shoes.

LafayetteSnare Registered: 02/09/05 Loc: Lexington, Kentucky	We wear white shoes for everything during marching season. The only thing we really change is our pants. For football games we wear blue pants (red stripe), and for competitions we wear white pants (red stripe). _________________________ "MaxTrack" Tates Creek Indoor Ensemble: 2007-2009 Timpani Wildcat Marching Band: 2007 Cymbals 2008 Snare Lexington Christian Academy: Percussion Director

bac0810 Registered: 06/08/05 Loc: Orlando, F.L.	Basically the difference between black and white shoes is cleanliness. if your line has really good feet and can march together perfically, then you should go with white. but if theres a couple people in the line who still dont get it, black shoes are the way to go. thats what i believe but you do what is good for the line. _________________________ FHS Snare '03-'07 [color:"red"]BAC '08[/color]

Quads4Life Registered: 10/28/05 Loc: Copiague, New York	our band is white shoes and white pants. Keeping white shoes white is a real job. Even when they are brand new they still look dull compared to the white pants. I would think that black shoes are easy to take care of vs white shoes.

MusicEngineer Registered: 07/30/04 Loc: Chesapeake Beach, MD	Quote: We've worn white marching shoes since forever and a day. This year, we're wearing black. They're so much easier to take care of. All you have to do is white them down and you're good. With the white ones, you have to scrub them with a toothbrush and then put white shoe polish on it, and clean the laces. Gah! Oh, and if you step in mud right before a competition on accident () then it doesn't show up as bad. Whoa, you do all that to your shoes? I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...that thing takes EVERYTHING off, and it only takes a quick wipedown. _________________________ Northern High School- Marching Patriots 04-05 Pit "Voyage on the Black Sea" 05-06 Pit "Folk Songs: a Global Tradition" Towson University Tiger Band 06-07 Pit
