THERE WERE SPECIAL SHOES FOR EVERY OTHER ACTIVITY -- WHY NOT A SHOE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR MARCHING?

So in 1984, we introduced the world's first marching shoe, the DRILLSTAR. What made it completely different and totally unique was its ROLLED-HEELTM. By effectively rounding/radiusing the heel, this innovation made it virtually impossible not to do a perfect corps-style "roll-step." The ROLLED-HEELTM was so revolutionary and so effective in improving marching it was awarded several US patents.

Our tape was selected specifically to address the needs of percussion instructors, guard instructors, and performers. Sticktape and Guardtape have been specifically selected for suitability as stick, mallet, flag pole and rifle wrapping tape. The tape is more impervious to damage and shrinkage than electrical tape, and the adhesive stands up to temperatures of over 150 degree Farenheit. Finally, at 108" per roll (compared to 66" per roll of electrical tape), you'll make fewer trips to the hardware store.
