| − | The origins of Drag Day actually have nothing to do with Sound of America - in fact, there were several years where Drag Day and SoA overlapped. In '97.2, Pierre(?), for one reason or another, dressed up as a girl. The administration promptly cracked down, forcing him to change, on the grounds that they had heard angry complaints from parents via the Baltimore office about cross-dressing at CTY.
