Majorette Uniform Catalogs

Majorette uniform catalogs may be another thing fast going the way of the dinosaur. Many companies are going paperless, with Web-only stores. Yet, a few companies are still producing catalogs refusing to give up what they see as a customer friendly and marketing profitable way to promote their outfits.

Majorette Apparel Ideas

Majorettes began their existence as the female equivalent of male drum majors, marking time for the band. Gradually they evolved into a coordinated team accentuating the music by twirling batons while performing basic dance steps into ever shifting routines.

Today majorettes include male and female participants. In addition to regular batons, they incorporate such props as twirling swords, flaming batons, and even long ribbons and scarves. Their routines are well choreographed and they are athletes first, trained in gymnastic and dance moves. Baton routines are intricate and often its effortlessness belies the months and years of practice needed to move in synchronization and intricate dance patterns.

Thus, modern majorette uniform catalogs have shifted to reflect the changing needs of this group of sports men and women.

Algy is one of, if not the, oldest store when it comes to outfitting majorettes, color guards, drill teams, and band members. They began in the 1920's in the garment district in Manhattan, New York, where three men specializing in fine embroidery began to work together. They formally incorporated in the 1930's and in the late 1940's began to specialize in uniforms and costumes for schools. They produced their first majorette uniform in 1950 and their first catalog in 1954.

Algy later moved its headquarters to Florida and expanded operations. Today their uniforms are considered among the best. They are masters at creating uniforms that are comfortable to move in, beautifully sequined and rugged - designed for use and wearing in different performing environments.

Majorette uniform catalogs may also be found by looking for dance suppliers, marching band suppliers, and color and drill team suppliers. The key to finding a catalog is to think outside the box much as the majorette uniform has been re-thought to highlight the athleticism of the body, as well as the dance and movement formations that are performed.
