Scariest Drill Team moments of costuming/equipment:

Curious what comes to light.
For me, two stand out:
Loara's "Saxon" wigs and uniformity of makeup application no matter what the ethnic background of the wearer was. It made for some amazing double takes. (Think of The Supremes meet the The Shirelles in a period epic with the threads and tresses from Sir Laurence Olivier's remake of Ricard III. It boggles the mind.)
The El Rancho High School (weren't they from Pico Rivera or thereabouts) drill team leader who neglected to shave her right armpit at Rosemead. (It was "Germanic" precision of a sort never to be repeated.)

There's got to be some stories out there. (...surely the urban legend of the dreaded about face of the Villa Park banner girls on the field must rank high on any list.)
