Due to an Injury, the Troopers 2010 Horn line has 1 Trumpet Opening to be filled immediately. This is your chance to march an amazing drum corps for just Pennies! Please contact: Kyle Thompson, Brass Caption-Head @ troopersbrass@yahoo.com for more information. Don't wait this will go quick!

^^ yup

Every corps uses straight leg if you only look at the downbeats, its the "and" counts where the definition of the leg changes. As for straight leg jazz running, if you are taught it right, it is very comfortable. If you are taught it wrong, or march it wrong it can be painful. We were never encouraged at devils to try to stop in minus 1 at the end of a phrase if we were jazz running, trying to do stuff like that is what causes injury.

probably one of the best pieces of advice on here. Early writters, including myself have gotten stuck writting because the next set isnt a "pretty picture." There is nothing wrong with functional transition sets to help set up different ideas.

a buddy of mine also said the drop sashes where added to "make them look fast." Helps show that they are moving at high velocities which sometimes the dark uniform hides against the green field. Thats what i heard about them. I dig em.

haha not even worth taking time to respond to that with anything of substance. Wish you the best if you are marching this upcoming season.

Yah the out of step thing was deffinetly intentional, due to the fact that we had direction changes every three counts going into the block, thus every other line was on the opposite foot. Just how the math worked out. As for not deserving the championship, you may think that is the case, but my ring says differently. Happy halloween.

Just when you thought it couldnt get any steeper, it does...ahh good times

Hey guys maybe you can help me out, maybe the appropriate thread to do this on as well haha Im looking for the Downey arrangement of "When A Man loves a Woman" for marching band that was available from J.W Pepper, but is now out of print. Any help? See it in any music stores collecting dust? Thanks! Kyle

I hardly said anything about "radical predictions." I think you are overreacting. I just thought it was funny that people including yourself are knocking a show that is still in its development and well over a month from being debuted. Cart before the horse...

Oh man you are so lucky to have seen the show already! I am jealous...

Art is constantly evolving and constantly evoking controversy. I appreciate counterpoint and what it did for diatonic music, but there is no way I would want to listen to it in my car. I appreciate minimalist art, but wouldnt want to hang it on the walls in my house. I like the 4 chart style shows that are performed amazingly well. Quality and execution in any activity are undeniable. But, if you can take the same quality and execution and tell me a story within it, im sold.

Very excited for this show, obviously. A couple of my friends say they enjoy the music way more than 06 or 07. Gona be a great summer for sure.

2 words: Cheese Bagels!

Will i miss performing? Yes. Will i miss rehearsing? No.
