Majorette Uniforms

Long gone are the days of cute majorette uniforms with short, tasseled boots, and flippy skirts with matching military style, frog-closed, jackets. Cuteness in majorette uniforms can still be found, but more high schools are looking for uniforms with the flash and dazzle of a show costume, along with a fit to emphasize the athletic and toned form of their majorettes.

The purpose of the majorette has moved somewhat beyond baton twirling, and now most, if not all, corps have incorporated dance moves, flags, and even twirling ribbons and batons, in a precision troupe effort. Majorettes serve a more important role as interpreters of the music bands are playing, as well as for drawing the eye onto the movement that accompanies the sound of the marching band itself.

Costumes no longer have to be pretty. They must have the sense of style, combined with ease of movement, and body definition to draw and keep attention. Majorettes are athletes first and their interpretation of the band music can make or break a competition, as well as fire up a Friday night crowd.

Uniforms must reflect in style and design that the majorettes are part of the band, as well as showcase their contribution as entertainers.

A visit to Stars Dance Wear.net shows just how far majorettes uniforms have come. Much of the sites dance clothing has become costumes for majorettes for regular as well as special competition wear. Hip-hugging pants, tops that bare arms, and feature ruffles, slashing, and sequins are the order of the day. Colors are brighter and headwear features caps, fedoras, and even hoodies.

Kenerly Kreations, Inc. com revives the tradition of the majorette uniform but with a modern twist. The basic majorette leotard is now sequined, fringed, and applied to a very form fitted body stocking. The prices reflect the quality of the handwork for these pieces as well, and are definitely competition worthy.

Show Off.com has some spectacular majorette costumes and features swirls, costumes with a flame effect, slashing, draped chiffon, and enough spangles and glitter to make designer Bob Mackie jealous. Again, the cost per uniform is quite expensive, but the company offers an amazing choice of styles, colors, and materials.

In addition to the actual uniforms, warm-up suits, shoes, accessories, and even hairpieces have been designed for majorettes. Often, the price of these is much more affordable, especially if ordered in bulk lots, and can even be within the reach of the average parent to give as a special holiday or birthday gift.

Sweatshirts, shorts, capris, and warm-up suits allow a majorette to practice outside in gear designed to wick moisture away from the body.

Hairpieces and hair accessories are designed for the hard use an athlete will give them. Their price ranges in the $20-$65 arena.

Due to the increasing expense associated with the majorette uniforms, many colleges and universities have instituted mandatory weight and height restrictions for their majorettes. Calling it healthy to issue a call for young women to be a weight and size, which fall in parameters, college personnel are highly aware that the body fitting, skimming majorette uniform is unforgiving to the female form.

Some colleges have been taken to task by girls for mandatory weight limits, while their male counterparts do not have the same restriction. Yet, the fact remains, as with gymnastics, and dance, nowhere else, in terms of a uniform, is the body so revealed.
