![]() Figure 1.--The Knabenchor Marianum Fulda Choir is seen here in 1967, soon after its founding. The boys wear white shirts, dark ties, dark short pants, and white kneesocks. The lak and white photography make it difficult to dertermine the color. We're not sure if the school also had a uniform. |
The choristers in the early 1970s appear to have worn the same basic uniform worn when the choir was founded in 1966. The ties appear to be more standardized. They wear very narrow ties which look more like te ties worn in the 1960s than the 1970s. Photographs of the boys performing in 1970s sometimes show boys performing in both white kneesocks and white ankle socks. The socks chose appear to have been an option for the boys. Quite a few of the boys appear to have chosn ankle socks rather than kneesocks. The shorts appear to be a darker blue. The choir appears to have added a matching dark blue vest in 1973. That is the few year we notice the vests.
