it’s the folk uniform for the male choir i was in, and yes, the orange socks stay on.

as part of the tradition, the red lantern is given to the last person that was late to a gathering, and therefore has to carry it until another gathering happens and somebody else is late 

 Oh wow 😅🫂 

 Dang, if that lantern tradition was here in the US, I'd probably just eventually engrave my name on that thing 

 dude, i had to do a 2-hour long march with that thing 😂 my fingers went numb at points, but hey, it’s a good lesson 

 Too bad you couldn't ride the scoots maggots on that 2 hr march 

 Scoots magoots * autocorrect is really fucking w me today! 

 😅
