Friends,

A crisis has arisen in cadet land. As many of you know it gets rather nippy in New York and as it looks like there are not any plans to move the United States Military Academy to Palm Beach it has fallen to me to come up with a solid plan to prevent us from freezing solid.
First is the topic of overcoats.

Below is a photo of one of our drummers wearing the cadet short overcoat. This is what we wore to the Army/Navy game this weekend.

If the above photo doesnt work then look on our facebook page linked below

Below is a photo of the cadet long overcoat [more similar to a british great coat]. We dont have a uniform plate with this as most members of the band think it would look very "flasher-ish" to wear a long coat with simply the spats showing.



Please fill up this thread with helpful advice or at least humorous retorts.
Also please join the band’s facebook group to keep informed on our goings on. Link is posted below.
