The Madison Scouts uniform looks like the design I'd have in mind if I was designing a uniform, and then the tree uniform would be what it turned out looking like.
OK so the Oregon Crusaders color guard uniforms for the 2016 season were different from person to person so some would be like a crop top with mesh and short shorts others might be a full body suit and I think they all had long ponytail weaves. Drum Corps international has a prelims, semi’s, finals format for world championships; you have to score higher than others to continue. The academy show with the double breasted coat was called corps bride, with a pun on corpse, so they were looking for a Tim Burtonesque vibe. I know I’m a year late but I hope that helped
Early 2000's Cavaliers are by far the best uniforms. Makes them look tall and the hats are so badass. The cleaner the uniform the classier and better IMO. A lot of the modern uniforms make them look less and less like a drum CORPS and more like a theater production. I like the older simpler looks more.
if you look up pacific crest 2019 and you see there uniforms... that was my uniform for my 2019 marching show... never again will i wear a one sleeveless and sequin sleeve ever again...it hurt in the cold and all the time, plus it would never stay in place, but from that its a good uniform.
Okay don't worry, Getting corps Confused, isn't bad because there are at least 4 drum corps with Blue in the Name. The bluecoats, The bluedevils, The bluestars and the blueknights. You get used to it😂. The 2017 Carolina Crown show is actually just "It is" I think that's just a typo. The academy actually wears like tuxedo type uniforms alot that's pretty much their trademark. I actually really liked the video because I was able to see what people thought of shows that werent like die hard drum corps fans.
10:15 the show title is actually "It is" I blame my brother for that lmao, we were only 12 when me & my brother still had bad grammar, my brother decided to make the thumbnail *which you see in the video* for a video of his, and not knowing he made a mistake in the thumbnail, 2 years later my brother's thumbnail is now on this video.
My Granddaughter’s school, Williamsport High, has the Academy Jackets now...THEY LOOK SO GOOD! They are used for their show Masque of the Red Death. Look up Lance Morgan Blue band on youtube to see the uniform!
Any uniform design of the Cadets from Allentown PA ("Garfield/Holy Name") and Cadets 2 rocks my world. I always liked the "West Point" look in drum corps, since such design has its roots in early drum corps days.
The bluecoats 2016 uniforms set a big standard that was groundbreaking. 2016 was the first year where they had a drum corp win without wearing jackets and bibbers.
Carolina Crown 2015, cavaliers 2014 (biased because I marched it) 2010 or for a laugh 2012, Boston Crusaders 2014 and 2019, Blue Stars 2019, Blue Knights 2016, Phantom Regiment 2008 or 2011, Cadets 2018, etc etc. I’m not saying I stan all of these, just helpful hints on some that are good and bad imo.
The thing about the Cadets uniform that you talked about (the black and white "basic" one) is that that's part of their "tradition". They've pretty much had that uniform (although it's usually in maroon and gold) since they were founded 85 years ago. I think that probably that design being used by a lot of bands and being "standard" is a testament to their success while wearing it.
I’ve been marching WGI percussion for now 4 years, haven’t had the money to march a corp but hopefully I can make it work. I would suggest looking at the indoor season whether it be winter guard or indoor percussion/winds. It seems like every year, groups are getting more risky yet creative with all of the costume designs. Some of my favorite costumes are from Pulse Percussion 2017, POW percussion 2017, Rhythm X 2016, STRYKE Percussion 2015 and 2017. Just a suggestion.
Carolina Crown 2016 had the best uniforms in history imo. The pattern on the shako was something else as well as the stripe on the jacket made it look super sleek. It's just so good.
Oregons "star" thing is their logo Cadets black was just their traditional uni in black... and little history: When they originally took on the "cadet" look they contacted the US Govt for permission to copy the Cadet uni
I think one of the reasons people don’t like the Bluecoats 2017 uniforms is because they had no blue. I personally really like the 2016 uniforms. Those “things on their head” are called aussies, personally one of my favorite styles of headwear for marching (visually, I’ve never had the chance to perform in one). The tittle for the Crown 2017 show was “It Is”, whoever put it on the photo you were seeing misspelled it. Just wanted to provide my two cents, I love seeing people’s reactions to drum corps, especially when they don’t follow the sport.
I really liked the cut...but the silver gray/pink splotches didn't read on the field....the kilt was such a cool idea, and I wished they'd gone with an east village urban plaid and black using the traditional SCV colors for the plaid. The shows visuals were the weakest part..the tarps..yikes. But the score was my favorite of the season, and they killed it...especially the battery.
I mean she looks like a fashion major from a state that thinks Walmart is couture. Honestly I love the creativity of some of the concepted uniforms I just think understanding palette and design/ color theory would really benefit a lot of groups with such color being employed in shows these days. The OC tree pants were creative.
Two people who know nothing about DCI criticize uniforms and call aussies fedoras. Bandos cringe and dci people are too busy doing dci to care. pio is still rocking the shamrock hats
Christina B thats how I feel. Designing uniforms for a marching band or drum corps is so different from actual fashion. This was like the Facebook Drum and Bugle Corps Facebook group where old people complain about the activity.
As a Bluecoats alum, I, too, hated the 2017 uniform. Bluecoats 2013-2015 uniforms were intended to connect the corps to its past, present, and future. As someone who currently lives in Portland (Oregon), I was not at all a fan of that Oregon Crusaders uniform. Have a look at the Cadets uniform from 2018. Just a steaming hot mess...
9:07
“Hip-Drop-Cape-Thingy” AKA the Panel.
That Oregon Crusaders tree uniform photo... that's me.
It seemed pretty cool... until the first show... what a way to age-out.
wow! it's awesome that it is you in the pic! not a great uniform, but i'm sure the show was fantastic!
@@BenCooperMLM it wasn't my favorite (that would be 2014), but it was a fun summer!
Good fit but not for drum corps
Hey Caleb! I thought it was funny when they said we didn’t have a color guard 😂😂
Caleb Pifer i just found this video today, but yes for 2014 Nevermore was such a good show!!
Cavaliers
Blue devils 2017 uniforms are really nice imo
yessss
Blue Devils 2017 is just nice😂
My favorite BD uniforms so far in my 20 years of being a DCI fan.
@Micah the Nerd Saxophonist I personally prefer the 84 version....but that's because I wore it.
2011 is the best. they're tight af
This mans interchanging coats and devils and I’m just like “you can’t do that you’ll get roasted, most fans of one dislike the other!”
it's not my proudest moment haha
Blue devils 2011 uniform with the butt capes is my fav
The Madison Scouts uniform looks like the design I'd have in mind if I was designing a uniform, and then the tree uniform would be what it turned out looking like.
Tel Schieler Hahahaha I fully believe that
love how he called the cavalier hats (which my band still wears, btw) "Old-school fadoras"
The coats forst 2016 wasnt a body suit its a shit and pants
That makes more since than a body suit 😂
@@BenCooperMLM it was weirdly hidden
The bluecoats 2016 " squiggly lines" is a number 6 intermixed I to their uniform.
Their corps motto 6 words
My personal favorites from corps I'm contracted with or have previously marched (to narrow it down) Louisiana Stars 2019, Spirit of Atlanta 2018.
5:15 called Aussies.

the 23' mandarins did the take thingy off
You should look at the east coweta high school marching band new uniforms
Look at surf 19 👀
The Cavariers Drum major uniform with the side coat (idk the correct name) is still my fav uniform
The "fedora's" are called aussie's
thanks!
On the crusaders uniform, the star is their logo. But yeah the uniforms probably could have been executed better.

Joshua Gonzalez the differences are good low brass, good trumpets, good all brass and white rims on drums
2014 bd shakos were camera lenses
It would be cool if you reacted to some Brazilian marching bands
As a major dci fan I appreciate this video and your effort
Thank you so much!! I hope I can start to learn more about DCI and be ready for next years season!
@@BenCooperMLM join a couple Facebook groups, you'll learn alot
Crown 2017 was called "It Is", that google search did you a disservice
I think you should try WGI uniforms! They're a lot more creative across the board
@Micah the Nerd Saxophonist youre right, but modern wgi is totally different
I have a large hatred for this video
Omg.....me too!
Christopher Auert we’re all just doing our best

Oh that’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
Bloo coats 2016 is easily one of the best uniforms
I marched in the black cadet uniform, makes you feel like such a badass. Definitely my favorite uniform ever
"I don't wear hats, I'm a tuba player"
Mee
Have you SEEN Gold 2017's uniform?
*it is
My Granddaughter’s school, Williamsport High, has the Academy Jackets now...THEY LOOK SO GOOD! They are used for their show Masque of the Red Death. Look up Lance Morgan Blue band on youtube to see the uniform!
So glad there's love for the the Scouts uniform I wore. It was pretty polarizing, but all things considered it was pretty sweet to rock that look
Those uniforms were awesome.
I’m sure it was!
My high school has the exact same hats as the bluecoats at 5:57
Blue coats
Blue devils
Blue knights
Blue stars

yesss thank you for this! I will definitely do that!
Carolina Crown 2017. That's not a shako, it's a head band.
BrothaNBlue yeah I noticed it doesn’t have a top!
???? The top part is made of clear plastic and it has a white outline so you can tell it's a shako
@@goldenpiggy3804 but it doesn't cover their head. You can see the top of their head sticking through. It's more of a visor than a shako.
@@bernie9543 and my comment is still just a joke.
And btw you don’t always make it into championship. You have to qualify to make it
Aww man you missed SCV 2018 unis :(

Bluecoats 2016 went for a WGI based uniform look. Which is why the uniforms are so tight and more like body suits
Ahhh that makes sense
I’ve been marching WGI percussion for now 4 years, haven’t had the money to march a corp but hopefully I can make it work.

Dark sky 2018, RCC 2018-19, Vessel 2018, Broken City 2019 all pretty recent but some of my current favs
Needs more “Aussie” action... Where’s Vanguard and Cavaliers....?
This mans did not just disrespect BD like that 😂😂
Carolina Crown 2016 had the best uniforms in history imo. The pattern on the shako was something else as well as the stripe on the jacket made it look super sleek. It's just so good.
it looks pretty great!
Also I love the drum wraps with the bullet holes
You gotta watch the blue devils 2011 show
Oregons "star" thing is their logo
Cadets black was just their traditional uni in black... and little history: When they originally took on the "cadet" look they contacted the US Govt for permission to copy the Cadet uni
Carolina Crown 2019, Crossmen 2019, Santa Clara Vanguard 2018-2019, Cavaliers, Between Angels and Demons, e=mc^2
Your favorable and excited comments about the traditional uniforms from the past tell us what's wrong with DCI today.
Blue devils 2017?
I marched academy 2011 and that's when we first started those uniforms but with white and black tie
Ooh ties? Fancy!
I’m part of the Mililani high school marching band and we wear unitards
I’d apply Zingali’s drill-writing advice to uniforms - you don’t have to be literal with the design.
Oh snap bringing out big terminology!! I like it!
Ben Cooper And by the way, nice to hear the shoutout to Charlie. GOOM!
scv 2017
Carolina Crown 2019, 2016.
Zyther bud crown 2012
“I’m not a fan of drum corps” *makes DCI content for views and comments*
Carolina Crowns 2015 uniform was simple yet very meaningful to their show
SCV 2014 is DEFINITELY my favorite of all time. Very well done that year. However SCV 2019 did not have the best uniforms in my opinion.
My dad was a Bluecoat from1996 to 1999 and he loves them, I want to be one and my dad said they have evolved A LOT over time!
Look at the Louisiana Stars 2019 uniform twas sexy also phantom regiment
Oooh I’ll check them out!
Yes stars was very sexy I marched and omg

Bluecoats 2019 tho so good
I love Charlie. He was my section tech for blue knights this past ‘19 season. That man... has bricks for calves
Give Southwind 2018 uniforms a look
Those white SCV uniforms from a couple of years ago were horrible.
Blue devils 2019 are beautiful
Lady in the video: I hate the Bluecoats 2016 uniform

Thank you for the info! I can totally see the no blue in the uniform being a problem. And hopefully I can follow DCI closer next year!
Look at any Jersey Surf uniform. They’re normally hit or miss
Please please look at SCV’s uniforms from this year they’re something else
It kind of reminds me of a straight jacket hahaha

You should look on «3 gardekompani» uniforms.
Our uniforms are blue Columbia high school marching wildcats Columbia Mississippi
2019 blue coats solos
Worst = Blue Stars ‘18
I’ll take a look!
Might as well throw in 2019 as well. Ugh!
As an Oregon Crusader I’d like to say we recovered from our terrible uniform in 2018. Uniform matched the show perfectly
that's great to hear!
A good drum corps uniform to look at is Atlanta CV 2019, they have the best uniforms in DCA
The Bluecoats uniforms from their winning season was great. It looked fantastic from the stands.
ebok98 Not from the second row. They looked dirty/stained and ill-fitting.
Tide 1990 well apparently that wasn’t an issue since they won!
I love blue coats 2018 uniform and the fashion major is thicc
thank you and I'll let her know
Bruh no Phantom?
What happened to blue devils 2017?

The OC tree pants were creative.
Nothing could ever be worse than the Cadets 2018 uniforms.
Emily K. Oh man! I just looked them up and they are rough!!
But the contrast when they turn around... The strong black against the stripes was so cool
@Micah Lall-Trail ???
@Micah Lall-Trail Gotcha. I thought you'd u were saying that the Cadets didn't have a uniform.
They looked like slices of high end raspberry or cherry cheesecake
Sooo you guys don't like my uniform? :(
