Stanbury Uniforms

Stanbury Uniforms


Stanbury Uniforms is the leading manufacture of band uniform in the United States. Stanbury was founded in 1917 in Kansas City, Missouri by Will Stanbury and his father to manufacture police, fire and military uniforms. The company was reestablished in 1947 to manufacture custom made marching band uniforms.

In 1993 Stanbury became an Employee Owned Company. With ownership participated in by all employees, the company embarked on a significant increase in sales. The “personal touch”, offered by the employee owners gave Stanbury a unique position in the industry.

In 1997, Stanbury expanded its operation and acquired a manufacturing facility in Waxahachie, Texas. The acquisition increased the company’s production capacity immediately.

Stanbury recently purchased the Otterwear Company. This is the leading manufacturer of rainwear and garment bags for bands and musical groups.

Collegiate Marching Band Festival
12.48 | Author: Unknown
The Collegiate Marching Band Festival, also called the CMBF, is an annual event held in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which showcases college and university marching bands of all sizes and styles from across the Northeastern United States. First held in 1995, the event typically takes places in early October at J. Birney Crum Stadium, a renowned venue for marching band and drum corps performances. The festival is not a competition, but rather an opportunity for fans and band members alike to view bands that perform a variety of shows and exhibit different performance styles.

Management and Sponsors

The festival is currently managed by Vivace Productions, Inc. out of West Chester, PA and is sponsored by Vivace Productions, Marching Show Concepts, and Dinkles Marching Shoes.

[edit] Different Styles

While many of the participating bands perform contemporary “corps style” shows using roll-step marching, other performance varieties abound. Morgan State University, from Maryland, performs a high-energy show typical of southern HBCU bands. Lehigh University and Penn State University, both of which have participated in the past, perform traditional "Big Ten" style shows with a high-step marching technique. Other bands, including Indiana University of Pennsylvania, West Chester University, and the University of Massachusetts, have developed unique styles all their own.

[edit] Traditions

Although still relatively young, the festival has a number of traditions, which spectators and performers have come to anticipate on an annual basis.

Order of performance

  • The order of performance is rotated on an annual basis, although it still follows a pattern where smaller-sized bands perform early in the day and larger bands perform later. As a custom, the first band to perform also plays the National Anthem to signify the start of the festival.

Vendors

Concessions

  • J. Birney Crum Stadium boasts some eccentric food choices. Among them can be found fried pierogies and giant Hawaiian Shave Ices that resemble softball-sized snow cones. Many festival-goers make these treats a regular part of the annual event.

Musical Organizations

  • After the festival is a time when members of the three service Greek musical organizations – Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma – gather together in their respective groups and socialize while engaging in their own particular traditions. Students, staff, and alumni from the participating bands take this opportunity to commingle with other members before departing the festival.

Tubas/Sousaphones

  • After the last band performs, the tuba and sousaphone players from several of the larger bands congregate at the center of the field to play traditional tunes, socialize with each other, and generally put on a humorous display for the exiting crowds.
