This was done to help the general public relate to what the corps is and accurately portray its distinctly identifiable classical image.

Its uniforms were designed to emphasize the marching aspect of the program by utilizing a brilliant gold pant, which was certainly different from anything previously witnessed in the drum corps arena, officials said. The marked and radical departure from the standard dark black, blue or green or basic white pants by its predecessors has virtually become a trademark already. This year's Allegiance staff describes their show as one of "aggressive finesse with some wrinkles thrown in." The expanded membership once again will provide an all-classical repertoire with an arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Legend of the Invisible City, foolowed by the mysterious and beautifully haunting melodies of Glazunov's The Kremlin. Dvorak's New World Symphony ill then unfold, including a percussion feature laced' with visual delights. The show will conclude with the majestic and powerful Coronation of Boris Goudonov, by Moussorgsky.
