TroopAlum12 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Based on a subset of the Alumni response over the weekend, it would appear neither uniform nor the programming will ever be appropriate. Same group showed their HLD after the 2012 season as I recall. Yup. Really put a damper on my last year as a marching member, riding a wave of alumni and spectators who were tearing us apart at the seams and cheering as pretty much our entire staff was ushered out the door/left for various reasons. Every corps that "those alumni." Sad but true. On the other hand, I think saying the Western genre is tapped out is not at all an accurate statement - there is plenty of room for creative, new and interesting shows that still resonate with the Troopers mythology. Heck, in concept that Steampunk show should have been absolutely revolutionary for them, though it didn't translate to increased scores in practice. (I submit they didn't go far *enough* with the concept.) Anyways, scores may in fact be the ultimate decider. If Troopers suddenly become a Finalist corps, the pushback will be quite diminished. But if they stay in that 13-15 range, they might find it harder going with alumni and fans. I wish people could have seen the vision the staff had for that show early season. It really was supposed to be as revolutionary as it sounded. The struggle to move upwards, feedback from fans and judges, and many other factors curbed that vision as the season progressed, and it took on the circus-like atmosphere it is now known for by championships.

TroopAlum12 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Is it just me or does the sketch make the uniforms look too... sexy? This is probably the comment I've seen the most. The renderings always tend to look more feminine than when a marching member actually puts the real thing on. I've heard reports from camp saying the things look fantastic in real life.

acolli17 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Don't forget, this was the Color Guard uniform in 2013, and people on DCP were flipping out. And then, once we saw them in context, we all realized that they looked great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My mother recently passed away due to cancer ( hence why I haven't posted much on here in 6 months), and I know how much people suffer with all forms of cancer. It's still a bumpy ride... I am sorry about your loss. With all the debate on here about what is right or wrong, we can all agree that Cancer sucks. I hope that you and your family are as well as can be in this trying time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
