craftgrrl | Wild Wild West..um..east...ya.. (Reply)

So, every year our marching band goes to band camp, and the seniors think of a theme, make a big entrace based on this theme, and trash our band director's yard based on this theme.

This year, I'm gonna be a senior, and we've decided on (shhh it's a secreat)"Cowboys and Indians", or as we'ld prefer to call it "wild west". So far (in case anyone else needs ideas for a party with this theme) we've taken those colorfull feathers and stuck them into foam "arrows" and attached some more feathers and beads onto the "bows". We've also made a dream-catcher out of a hola hoop (I 'll get pictures when we trash our director's yard so you can see them in action). We've also got some random "indian" themed decorations.

What we need more of are cowboy things. Granted, it has to be cheap. The only things we have are buffalo and salon doors. Does anyone have any ideas as to decorations that we could make that are cowboy themed?

Also, the "Indians" (or girls) are cutting up tan t-shirts and making fringe. Then we're puttin beads on some of the fringe (I'm making mine right now)..the cow boys dont' have much (they're guys, they don't really put too much effort into it) but they do have hats and little hose-heads-on-sticks...so ideas for that would also be welcomed.

Sorry this is a text only post..but I'll try to get some pictures...I just can't post anything yet incase younger band members belong to this band...it's a surprise...they can't tell who the band is with only words...
