Anyone going to the SASS convention? Color Guard detail?

[Mustang Gregg]

I'm just checking if anyone else is going to the convention in DEC?
There probably will be a Color Guard.
Any volunteers?

I will be there.  Several months ago there was another thread about the color guard.
I will have a full dress CW infantry captains uniform with the option to use shoulder straps, the Sack Coat uniform for both CW and Indian Wars and prolly 1884 Canvas Fatigue Captains uniform.  Will be glad to help out.  Cpt Geo Baylor has graciously offered to transport my Swords.  If need be I can wear Brown Trousers Suspenders and a Blue Wool Span Am Pvts Uniform, will not bring a Rifle or Bayonet.  Can bring a mills belt if necessary.

Sounded like Dalton and Freeda were planning on going.

Actually if the CG is for the Banquet, will have to wear full dress CW 6th Inf Cpt.  Opening Ceremonies can wear just about anything.

I'm trying on the uniform now.  My 1898 repro USV trousers have SHRUNK!
So I'm working on it now.

More to follow!

Mine have also but not nearly as much as my 1976 Dress Blue uniform that fit in 1987

Anne's Ball gown has arrived.  We are mostly packed and the SWA Boarding Passes are printed.  Turns out only bringing CW Uniforms Frock and Sack Coats, Navy and Sky Blue trousers.  As I was packing discovered I lost one of the two Ostrich Plumes at Gettysburg, need to visit Sportsman's Warehouse Fly Tying Supplies tonight or hit Bass Pro Shops in Springfield MO tomorrow after I land for a replacement.

Hi

You guys need to stop by and see Mike Moore from Buckaroo Hatters.  He's made several of my favorite hats including a John Wayne Cavalry Hat.

Alas.  We did not have a Color Guard. 
There were loads of guys there in great uniforms. 
But I was in the TG meetings and taking care of other issues and didn't have time to coordinate one.
The Wild Bunch and the SASS members would've loved it.
It could have happened if we had the communication going.

Was kinda sad that they did not have a CG, also sorry I did not bump into you while there.
