Woodro Registered: 12/17/04 Loc: Pearl, Mississippi	Hey guys, this is just a stupid survey asking if it's better marching in white marching shoes or black ones...Like in your uniform....I know black goes with all the dark colors and white with the light but still. _________________________ '03-'04: Freshman snare (2nd rank) Pearl Band '04-'07:So/Jr/Sr. Snare (1st rank drum captain) Pearl Band '05: 9th Rank Mississippi Lion's All-State Band (2nd Bass): (3 years in a row, 23 years overall) '06: 8th Rank (Bass Section Leader) Mississippi Lion's All-State Band '07: 4th Rank (Snare) Mississippi Lions All-State Band.

DixieDrummerGrl Registered: 12/19/04 Loc: Auburn University	Our band wears white shoes with black pants. The BDs say that the judges can see our "fancy footwork" better because it sticks out. But whatever. _________________________ 2006

Paradidle Registered: 03/11/03 Loc: Okalahoma City, Oklahoma	Unless you're cool like Broken Arrow, they're the only band that I know of that wears both color shoes. Their uniform is half black and half white.. on the white side they wear a black shoe, and on the black uniform side the wear a white shoe. Looks sharp if you ask me.

Woodro Registered: 12/17/04 Loc: Pearl, Mississippi	My home band wears black shoes, and the Lions Band wears white shoes. So I get both feelings.. _________________________ '03-'04: Freshman snare (2nd rank) Pearl Band '04-'07:So/Jr/Sr. Snare (1st rank drum captain) Pearl Band '05: 9th Rank Mississippi Lion's All-State Band (2nd Bass): (3 years in a row, 23 years overall) '06: 8th Rank (Bass Section Leader) Mississippi Lion's All-State Band '07: 4th Rank (Snare) Mississippi Lions All-State Band.

Ironman7 Registered: 02/22/04 Loc: Springfield M.A	White marching shoes are great if your marching program is spot on. The white shoes are a sharp contrast to the green fields which we march on. The white shoes are very unforgiving if your visual program is not up to snuff. Whereas black shoes blend more with the green field and are more forgiving. So the choice of footwear should reflect how well your group is marching and not so much on what colour is my uniform ect... _________________________ Semper Gumby: Always maintain a rigid state of flexibility. http://www.vater.com/

Bridgeman83 Registered: 06/21/04 Loc: Stark-Vegas, MS	you took the words out of my mouth IronMan. the shoes really don't matter to me, but the fact that the white shoes show flaws in your marching gives a good reason why you gotta have the marching down pat. _________________________ MèCo Hearn aka Biggs Mississippi State Drumline '07 Snareline "DW...Do work son!"

Tory Registered: 10/12/04 Loc: Florida, for now.	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. _________________________ All posts are of my own opinion and are of my own actions.
