Anonymous Unregistered	well we have to wear black next year but we wore white this year. our uniforms are white, brown and gold but our band director decided black shoes show if we're out of step less. personally i liked the white a whole lot better. it went with our uniform and the black doesn't even match our brown pants.

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... I have to agree here...to a certain extent. I do believe that white shoes make your visual program look worse if your program is not great. However, I do not think that it makes the program look better if they are already great marchers. It the visual program is already great, then it will look great whether they are wearing white shoes or black shoes. I do understand the point of the contrasting in colors, but I just don't think that it would make much of a difference in the units' "greatness". _________________________ As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error. - Weisert Dave Fry -DCA 01' Reading Buccaneers Snareline -Souderton Area High School Percussion Instructor 01-07

SamuraiX864 Registered: 08/26/04	I noticed how gsDrummerGirl said her band director has them wear black to hide the bad marching and how prdrmmr08 likes them for the same reason. That's actually the main reason why we go with white shoes instead of getting darker colored uniforms. I cannot stand black shoes simply for the reason that most people get them to hide bad fundamentals. That's just my opinion, though. _________________________ "Here the tragically beautiful, And the beautifully tragic, Drift through this night, In a last quest for magic."

Anonymous Unregistered	Well last year we used black shoes but this year we got new uniforms so now we are using white shoes but personally i think black shoes are better because if your performing on a half time football show then your shoes all get dirty and it shows really well.

Flam Registered: 02/23/07 Loc: Virginia	Our band shoes are black, but our uniforms have white in them so i guess we could wear white shoes and still pull it off =P _________________________ [color:"red"] CHS Drumline '06-'07 (Freshman Year) - Snare [/color] [color:"red"] CHS Drumline '07-'08 (Sophomore Year) - Snare [/color]
