2008 Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps - Battle Hymn Chorale

[Complimentaries]

Does anyone know the story about the 1994 Troopers snare line spending the night in jail for beating a guy up who broke their ranks? What a corps...

i am now a member of the 2011 troopers! we are going to do amazing this summer no doubt!

[513saynt]

its lame though apparently the casper town council or whatever doesn't care because on the casper wyoming website they say nothing about the troopers. it makes me kinda sad. the people may know but visitors should be informed too i think.

@513saynt

The Troopers have tons of community support.

I saw the Troopers at Denver. They sound terrific. Better horn line than last year. Its going to be tough to repeat for the top 12 in Indy this yr. But this is the Trooper. I have confidence they will make it again. HANG'M HIGH Troopers.

i was supposed to march this season :-( THE NEW BATTLE HYMN IS AMAZING!

I live in AZ (I march with The Academy) and I played in an ensemble with 2 guys who marched troopers back in the day, 2 valve G-Bugles kind of back in the day. I also have family up there who had NO IDEA what drum corps was, but I mentioned "The Troopers" and they were like "oh yeah, everyone in Casper knows who they are".

I think that kind of community support, where 300k+ people know who you are, is pretty phenomenal.

@tbonesown I'm not a big fan of the troopers but to have nearly everyone know who they are in that area is really cool.

[SKYBRITE]

GOD BLESS THE TROOPERS!I was a drum corps. fan since the 60's and the troopers impressed me and my mom the first time we saw them.A company front from the start line to the 50 yard line may never be duplicated,but the troopers were flawless.i heard they practiced blindfolded.

[talkingsuccess]

1968 that was the year

[CommisPsiner]

marched in 2003!!..Hld troop!!..Me and my brother were the only black guys in the horn line that year!!...lol.."The Twins"

[naturalbornscreamer]

This sounds so beautiful. It almost sounds like it was pre-recorded in a studio then layered over the video. Excellent tone, balance, phrasing, everything. LUV IT!

[jkatzmellophone]

Nice job Troopers!!!!

[zednelly]

i want to be in this corps so bad!

[Burgerbob22]

First audition camp is in November!

[BrassNerd2K11]

I remember this warm-up... it was the day after that recording session. My chops were still recovering and we do this... which totally kills them... go figure we kinda had a shaky show that evening...

[krazygreek23]

I marched 04-05, and I did like the Cheyenne and Denver shows much more. The Utah crowd is kind of odd when it comes to drum corps too... =/

[CrusaderAttack]

How so?

[iloldirl]

Amazing, marched with them in '07.
