These are olive green military uniforms.

Then I am glad that you were not in the community where I directed. My color guard never wore the school colors (green and white). One year they wore matador-style outfits that were (gasp) red. Another, they wore Cosette-style peasant outfits that were light blue. For our American Civil War show (which included a 'Stars and Bars' flag) half wore blue and half wore grey.
EDIT: A compliation of show of the drum and bugle corp style, for those unfamiliar. Most bands up this way march and look in this style. Note the difference between the ensemble and guard. Also note that they are all theme shows; more akin to performance art than military band.
