I can not believe Elan does not use costumes anymore!
do they still use signs?
Signs were phased out sometime after 2000 from what I heard. Not really 100% sure of why they were phased out, but I think it might have had something to do with a safety issue. Or maybe the price for poster board went up and Elan didn't want to shell out the extra $$ for them.
When I was there, there was no costumes, yet Marc used to talk about them along with other Directors when abusing a teen at a GM.
At times, Marc brought back the dunce cap for people who got bad grades, and made people carry around certain objects from their prospective department if it was not cleaned right, or the department was a mess.
I would describe that era as to being on a roller coaster of rules,sometimes they went balastic with L.E.'s and other times they didn't. I do remember clearly about the Directors talking about the "Old school days" whereas they issued out customes on a regular basis to those that did not follow the rules and slacked off.
