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.
