Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps got their start in 1948 and were originally called the Boy Scout Troop III Drum & Bugle Corps. At this time, they wore the traditional khaki uniform dressed up with shoulder braids and white gloves. The Corps obtained its first outside sponsorship in 1949 in the form of an American Legion Post dedicated to the memory and honor of Revolutionary War hero, Thaddeus Kosciuszko. The Corps went through 1949 known as the Kosciuszko Post 712 Drum & Bugle Corps and changed their uniform to midnight blue Army issue dress pants and shirts.
In 1950, the Cavaliers were just a parade corps with hand-me-down uniforms from the more seasoned Bell Corps that consisted of Eisenhower jackets, shakos & plumes. But, they would soon learn a drill and enter big-time competition. They had taken on the Cavalier name and logo from a new cigarette. The logo was a cavalier with a plumed hat, sword and cape.
The cigarette company, as part of its promotional campaign, had made available a costume jewelry pin of the logo which the Cavaliers would wear on their hats. After a summer full of parades, contests and other appearances in 1950, the Cavalier's treasury was sufficient to allow new uniforms for 1951 that were Kelly Green.
The Cavaliers would soon earn the reputation as an up- and-coming corps. The Spectacle...
In the nationals in New York, the Cavaliers placed 7th. Then, 1953 brought them their first American Legion State title and an eighth place finish at American Legion Nationals in St. Louis. In 1954, the Corps won their second consecutive Legion State title.
In 1955, the Cavaliers won the VFW State title and finished a strong fifth at American Legion Nationals in Miami. The year 1956 brought another VFW State title and a number one ranking in the Midwest. The Cavaliers won both Legion and VFW State titles for the first time in 1957 as well as its first VFW in Miami. At VFW in New York City in 1958 the Cavaliers were victorious in the Prelims but finished second in the finals to Blessed Sacrament. The year 1959 would be the Corps' best yet.
They ruled the Midwest by again winning both States and much of the local competitions. At Wrigley Field in Las Angeles the Cavaliers wrapped up their second National title.
By June 1962, the Cavaliers had not lost a contest in 23 months. They year 1963 completed the transition from a neighborhood corps to the modern corps with an ever-widening reach for personnel. The 1963 Corps not only had members…

Costumes A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's most whimsical plays, and therefore this production follows in its spirit. Designing costumes for A Midsummer Night's Dream allows for total creative license, as the play takes place within a fantasy world replete with fairies. The overall impact is captured well by an artist at Duke (image credit: http://sites.duke.edu/midsummer/files/2009/12/Study_for_The_Quarrel_of_Oberon_and_Titania.jpg): This image is a study for what Oberon and Titania might look like.

Costuming in Shakespeare's Plays In General And Othello In Particular, In Elizabethan Times And Throughout History Costuming has always represented one of the most important -- and expensive -- features in the preparation of theatrical performances. In fact, Grimball and Wells suggest that the success of every period play and pageant depends largely on the effectiveness of the costume design. This paper will provide an analysis of costuming in Shakespeare's plays
Costumes in Les Miserables (1998) Directed by Bille August 1998's Les Miserables' costumes were designed by Academy Award-winning costume designer Gabriella Pescucci. Pescucci had previously won for The Age of Innocence and been nominated for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1993). While her work for Billie August's Les Mis would go unnominated for any major awards, the costumes are nonetheless on par with her previous work and reflect the authentic style
EXODUS Costume review: Exodus: Gods and Kings It is always challenging to re-create historical costumes of a past era; it is even more challenging to do so when that era is Biblical times, given the religious significance attached to that period. People seeing the film with have strong, established ideas of how characters 'should' look based upon their personal beliefs and the numerous previous depictions of this era. Recreating images which had
Othello Costumes Designing costumes for Othello, in whatever form -- play, ballet or opera, presents a few problems from the outset. First, of course, is the necessity for the costume to enhance the feeling of paranoia of Othello, a Moor in a Caucasian society. Second, Iago needs to be malevolent without being evil personified; he is, perhaps, simply overly worldly and overly ambitious, as is his wife, Emily. And third, Desdemona
In conclusion, costumes are used in two essential ways in the film. The first is that it reinforces the sense of normalcy and creates a background that juxtaposes and heightens the horror and drama of the film. The second use of costume in the way that Bates dresses as his mother is a complete transgression of normalcy and psychologically and socially diametrically opposed to the mundane costumes worn by the
