After all the versions of 'Rebellious Rag' that we have posted to the group, we just wanted to note that the version posted in the files section now is the...
Rachel, At least in the Peoria competition, the women typically wear anything from 1890s-style frilly dresses to 1920s "flapper" outfits complete with sash and...
That reminds me - if you look at the sheet music covers, quite a few of them have photos of women in their garb. Some of these women were singers while others...
Bryan gave a good account for what women wear in Peoria. There are some venues, like the Diamond Belle in Durango and the Disney parks, where period attire...
