Traditions
The Glassmen have a variety of traditional elements that reappear often in their programs. Chief among these is the modern corps symbol, a triangular shield (shown at top). Most shows have at least one occurrence of the shield in the drill, even if it appears for only a couple of seconds. Triangular forms are also prevalent in drill design. In addition to this, the color gold has been a traditional element, most notably in the successful seasons of 1997 through 1999. Another annual tradition is to modify the shield that goes on the left breast of the Glassmen uniform. Each year has a different variation on the corps symbol that corresponds to the show and adds individuality to each season without changing the simplistic, clean-cut look of the overall uniform .

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
