xandandl Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Speaking of horses, do you remember ever marching in parades with any horses up front ? Not everything changes in Drum Corps ( haha!) The mention of the original Velvet knights corps from Calif. (pre-DCI) and your parade reference brought back this memory. Original VK had horn players wearing a horse prop and marching it up the avenue while playing the horn. Hole where saddle usually is allowed the horn player to lower the prop of his head so the crowd would see the horn player "riding" the horse. The "velvet" swag covered the legs so the crowd saw Knights on horseback similar to what we see at a joust. http://www.berkshirehistory.com/kids/knights_jousting.html Might give some Trooper designers an idea. Donate the $1 in memory of Gunny. Edited January 31, 2015 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I agree that Trooper's performance levels and presence was a step up the last year or two. I thought that from the first performance last season on the big screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rFC-UwGXCc New video! By the way I'm in it at :33, second from the back in the line closest to the camera! You might want to consider changing your member name from futurebluecoat. Either that, or I'm way confused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurebluecoat Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 You might want to consider changing your member name from futurebluecoat. Either that, or I'm way confused. How do you change it? I'm trying to figure it out but I'm having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The hornline sounds great in the new video. That said, I count 63 horns at the latest camp. Is that enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 they sound powerful. Nice mature sound for the 10 seconds I heard. Looking forward to great things. Who heads/teaches brass there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The hornline sounds great in the new video. That said, I count 63 horns at the latest camp. Is that enough? They will have a full horn line. Several kids weren't at the camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I thought VanDoren and team were at Troopers. Sound great in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I thought VanDoren and team were at Troopers. Sound great in any case. Donnie VanDoren is listed on the site as being "Program and Staff Coordinator." I was merely listing the specific Brass staff as per the question asked ("Who heads/teaches brass there?"). http://troopersdrumcorps.org/aboutus/educational-team/program-and-staff-coordinator Edited February 20, 2015 by HornTeacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
