19) Discussion on Band Uniform Design - Ron Lewis.
Collinsville's band director Ron Lewis was congratulated
for an outstanding effort and results with the band this year. Ron presented
a proposed design for the new band uniforms. There was no official vote
but direction was given to pursue further planning with board member
Ted Clark being most vocal on wanting the "official" school
colors of red, white & Columbia blue worn by the band at Friday
night football games and other city events while conceeding the non-blue
design recommended by Ron for judged marching competitions where school
colors have no relevance. The initial cost estimate per uniform with
the colors shown above was $286.50. The board directed adding blue features
for local activities.
[I'll add a small editorial here that in
my opinion most folks would be most pleased with the red/black/white
design shown even at a home football game ... and that there are some
in town that feel the columbia blue is the non-traditional school
color. I don't care myself, but was amused to see the board go to such
lengths to force the blue into the design. -- Ted Wright 4/4 ... A

cvilleok.com viewer email comment on band uniform colors ====
I don't understand the school board's concern about blue in the design.
I for one feel that the Columbia blue is alright for athletic uniforms,
but looks tacky on a band uniform. The current set of uniforms were quite
nice with the red, white, and black. The board needs to consider that
a competitive band needs to have a uniform with a distinctive look even
at football games, the blue will be an eyesore. I say this as someone
who has been around the competitive marching scene for almost a decade,
the blue will interrupt the design. I like the design Mr. Lewis presented,
let's leave it alone. -- (no name given) -- 4/5/2006
