  1. I don't care for Academy's new uniforms. Too much black and plastic looking for me... First public picture of the new Academy uniform!
  2. Well, only one vote can go for DCI, might as well use all five (1 for DCI and the other for the four other corps).
  3. Best 12 dollars you'll ever spend...(click on the link) Beyond the Basics: A comprehensive approach to the contemporary marching and movement ensemble
  4. The best tip I leaned in 3 years of corps was: Don't go anywhere or do anything alone. If you're doing it as a group you can't be wrong, or at least the worst they can do is yell at you. Example 1.) When at rest stops, make sure you see other corps people. Otherwise the bus may have already left. Example 2.) When out on the field, and everyone else is playing sonic boom loud. You should join in and match their volume (with a good tone). Hope that helps, and good luck!
  5. I found this article today about a partnership between the Troopers and the Natrona County School District (Casper, WY). They are working together to provide Casper with a summer band program, that already has over 100 applicants. To me this is a win-win situation for the Troopers and the community. Does anybody know of any other drum corps that have this same partnership? And why isn't this more common? trib.com article
  6. Trooper magic. . .No, but seriously I wondered the same thing. I think they somehow tucked the flag into the pole, because the pole looks pretty large. Anybody know for sure?
  7. Ok, I'm done for awhile. Enjoy Granny! Cascades
  8. I like this graphic better than last year.
  9. The Troopers' show was announced some time ago, but here is the show poster:
  10. Colts, Troopers, Glassmen, BK, BD, Cadets, and Cavies were at this show. I found another corps rehearsing at the site below. Looks like sectional time! Here
  11. Ex-field liner critique: Someone screwed up the 5 yard line on the right corner of the field. Yard lines should be every 15 feet not 10.
  12. This is a street view, but its the Troopers '09 I believe, in Casper, WY http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=utf-8&am...=12,285.95,,0,5
  13. Phantom Regiment 2008 - Spartacus
  14. 1/4 the way there . . . $6,782.00 as of February 19, 2010. Facebook link
  15. What I've noticed, is that good recruiting is done person to person. You aren't going to pick up the talent you want with just a blanket message. I would have never marched corps if I hadn't received a phone call from the brass caption head. The internet can be used as a recruiting tool, but when corps are trying to fill specific holes you aren't going to get the people you need with an ad on the internet (plus, as seen on this forum, corps that post stuff like that sometimes get bad press). A lot of the recruiting going on at this time of the season is staff calling up individuals. You'll see the ads for holes showing up later if the corps get more desperate.
  16. Here is the link to the video ---> Silver Spur Campaign <--- It is a great cause, please donate. Donate to the Silver Spur Campaign here ---> On-Line Sheep Wagon <---
  17. Nice! We should get a collection of pictures of all the stadiums.
