...or Tales of a Band Mom. This year's winter percussion piece is "Terra Cotta Warriors" and first order of business... peasant costumes for kids in the pit (stationary instruments like xylophones, chimes, etc.)
What the heck did Chinese peasants wear in 3rd century BC? Our band director is proposing simple wrap-style tunics (like short kimonos) and scrub pants torn below the knee -- both dyed in earthy colors. Semi-accurate? Horrible? Are conical hats appropriate? --although I can see them getting knocked off. I'm clueless, and can find neither image nor description. Part II will be terracotta soldier costumes to be worn by very active teenagers with drums, but I need to deal with the peasants first. Help? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
