did you know that on the drum majors uniform he has a holster? did you also know that within that holster is not a pistol, but sweet delicious starbursts = )
@2011BANDIE Actually, that is not totally correct. The holster does carry a gun, it's the black pack on the back side of his uniform that holds the starburst.
I want the 'Trooper's"; not some old crappy cowboy- mixed with nwhat?--- NO Purpose-- lose it !!!! Remember- TROOPERS- are Americana; representing the WEST- with GLORY!!! I am just 1 of many soldier's. We- as a collective; hate that song! PLEASE!!- NO more!!!-- bad choice..insulting....was the guy that choosed it. EVER OVERSEA'S???-- Troopers represents the best in soldier valour- and should have; and did!;-- set good standards for all that followed!!!!- "THE VIC"
I thought the TOOPER's would have modernistic feeling; somehow changing. Old musicsorta really Hurts!; as it makes what the??? Get with it; and bring the Corps back to it's Americana feeling! All Ameican's WANT something we know . No Arts Farts Crap! We NEED some old fashined SPIRIT, right now-- and the TROOPERS exemplafy that meaning! Quit pussyfooting around. All of America needs the old style-kick you back in your seat sound!!-- Vic!
O yea...I'm gonna try out for 2011. I am a regular Civil War re-enactor and efter seeing them last year I'm deffinately trying out. Very cool, very cool. Go Troopers!!!
I saw the Troopers in Denver. They have a better horn line this year then last year. Its going to be tough to repeat from last year. I have full confidence in the Troopers. HANG'M HIGH TROOPERS.
This is either going to be a huge plate of awesomeness, or a massive failure. With a show like this there's no middle ground. So happy Troop's back where they belong. Can't wait to see it.
Troopers, i believe you can change what the non believers think, those people who say, "they won't succeed". I believe you can change what the non believers think if you work harder, than any corps has before, and if you strive for perfection more and more. "Music is indescribable, so I won't bother myself with what it may be; but I can embrace it, learn it, and love it, for what it is", something else...
@THEbassoonist12 No it is not. trust me, i just watched your video and our Troop music is nothing like this at all. once you see the show, you will understand
Oh hell yes! I have been an unrelenting fan of The Troopers since 1969. It was one of my greatest thrills in life to beat them in '73. I know I'm old school, but I would love to see them cover the yard markers and hash marks and frigg'n nail The Sunburst!
LOVE this. Especially love the fade from the front of the DM to the back, and the "HOOO TROOOOOP" just beneath the wind sound at the very end. Good job, Mike!
i just signed my 2011 contract with the troopers :) i'm so excited for this summer. its gonna be fricken sweet. go troop 11'
