4th of July Trooper style!
Uh, yeah.

Pretty conservative jumps in scores out east.
-
It doesn't look like they're using their field coverings tonight. I wonder why?
-
I'm hoping for a bit of a jump in score for Troopers tonight. Once again, the judges don't really know where to put them. Good luck tonight Troopers!

OK Troopers. It's time to make a move. Have a great show.
LaCrosse was the first show I ever marched in as a Trooper. 1978. I will never forget it.

Wouldn't it be great to see Pioneer come out and kick a** one of these years. What is the highest they've placed?

This is a great show.

Please pull down on your lap bar and make sure any personal items are stowed. Keep your arms and legs inside the ride vehicle at all times. Enjoy your ride on the Trooper Score Rollercoaster.

Why has the original post not been updated? Why even have this thread? Why pin it if it's not properly updated?
I was just thinking the same thing. I went to see Genesis and nothing. There are quite a few blank ones.

Many many fans have said see ya. Fans have been bailing out on this activity for many years due to the unpopular direction of the costumes, electronics, trombones, & the musical selections. Most organizations who are losing customers & in a downward spiral try to adjust to right the ship. Not this activity though...nope. They are going to just keep trying to be progressive, which actually ends up being regressive for the popularity of the activity. My company does an annual detailed customer survey to insure that we are on the right track & listening to our customers. Has DCI ever done this? Have they surveyed both existing ticket buyers & the former ticket buyers who no longer attend events?
The evolution of the activity has been a rocky road for us old timers but, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Has DCI killed drum corps? I guess, in a sense, it has. Is it still fun to watch? You bet your a**.

What's so crazy about not liking a costume that belongs on an off-Broadway stage instead of a drum corps show? It's hideous. Tell me one thing about that getup that says "Madison Scouts." I also hate SCV's new WGI outfit.
If DCI is simply going to become a bigger version of WGI, then I'm done.
See ya.

Why the black stickout? Does he have a solo later or something?
He's playing the character leading the mass.

Are Cadets doing their full show tonight?

Scouts...YAAAASSS! Cool, masculine and very show appropriate. This is how you design a costume.

Driving 3 hours from Casper. (No theaters in WY carry this) Any DCP'rs going to cinema in Ft. Collins, CO? Look for two old guys sitting front and center. Say hi!

I like this because it looks like a consistent thought - it all makes sense. The colors are positioned in the bodysuit in a manner which will minimize size/width differences between performers, and all the verticals add height.
The bowler hat is a bit odd, but it works well as a set with the collar and cuffs. And it is also is a nod to their color guard in the 80's.
So nothing seems out of place or in conflict with another part of the outfit. It's a great design and should be very striking on the field.
Contrast that with Boston, with their very square, bulky gray tops, delicate lacing trim and gausy-floaty drapes, skin tight leotard pants, casual pushed-up sleeves and then a super tall, fluffy plume on top of a military shako (with buckle!) Those are all over the place and the various pieces are fighting with each other.
This.
I must admit, I can't stop looking at Boston's uniform. I find it intriguing and I'm not sure why. I can't wait to see both Spirit and Boston this summer.
