  • ... that cornetist Al Sweet dressed his band, the White Hussars, in flashy white and golden military uniforms based on the namesake cavalry? Source: Schwartz, H. W. (1957). "Pryor, Conway, and Sweet Launch Bands". Bands of America. Doubleday. p. 245. "...He liked flashy uniforms... he dressed himself and his men in gleaming white uniforms, liberally festooned with gold braid. White capes lined with white silk were rakishly draped over their shoulders... and on their heads was an elaborate shako, surmounted by a flowing white plume."
