Pinwiz Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Another great step ahead this year. Where will we go by August? (Yes, the Madison scores made me very happy and I can't wait to see them twice next week.) Quote
TerriTroop Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Go Troop! But like I said in the Madison thread: only time will tell. The full judge panel will give a more complete picture, IMO. All I know is that I want to see the Troop during the quarters cinecast for once!!! Quote

Galen Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I've seen the show twice, and I've really gotten a kick out of hearing Ghost Riders at the end. Quote
washingtoncorpsfan Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Let's go Troop! I hope to see 'em in Semis this year. Quote
Granny Smith Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 The Troopers show was one of my top two or three favorite shows of the night in Madison. I realize that without the guard numbers, they may struggle to move past some that they would easily pass if they had that visual presence, but their show is a treat musically. I was kind of wishing they had carried some of that really cool train stuff/effects into the closer a bit, just to tie it up, but otherwise I think it's a tough, fun show. They are doing things right and I hope the Iron Horse will continue to move up. Quote
dannyboy Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Troopers: Great show! VERY entertaining! Thanks for being at our Kiltie Klassic in Racine, and it was great to cheer for you again in Madison. I spent $$ at your souvie wagon. The "Sunburst" in the drill made my wife cry. In a good way. "Ohhh ohhh!! They're gonna do it... whooooo hooooo yeaaaa!" And I enjoyed a session of "Mutual Uniform Admiration" with one of the Trooper kids: "You have the coolest uniform." "No, YOU have THE coolest uniform." "We both have the best uniforms." "Yes, yes we do." hehehehe Quote
PCSoprano9702 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I wish I could celebrate the Troopers rise without witnessing Madison fall... then again, that's how the west was won. Quote
