Our band wears black probabaly because it matches with our uniform better and because when we march at football games they don't show as much dirt and white would.

I prefer white because if you sound good, then you gotta look good. However, my high school band wasn't like that so we had black.

Our high school band used black. The dum majors wore white and they looked tough to clean when they got dirty. I think black look better because they shine up nicely.

I have always used black shoes because of the school colors. They can be a pain in the foot when marching in the hot weather, but it is all about the uniform. I had to wear black for six marching seasons; four at Hazelwood West, and two at Lindenwood University. And it will be seven next Fall.

Why would you use one color for practice and another color for shows? You should use the same color for both so you practice the way you perform.

actually, the Pride of Broken Arrow's shoes are black on the right (the black leg) and the other is black and white, matching the leg

My school wears white marching shoes because it goes with our uniforms, white pants with a red stripe and a red top. Also, we wear the white shoes because they show our mistakes ten times better than black shoes, and that causes us to march better.

We have black for band members, then white for the drum majors. I like the black more, hides a lot of the dirt and suckiness of people not doing the right thing.
