Really loving this Blue Knights show with each viewing. 

Lordy, they're so dang good. They're my #2 right behind Cadets at this point.

Troopers. Such an angry sound. I like it.

Troopers are next. Uniforms bring back the Trooper feel with a blended red, black accentuated with a Calvary hat. 
 

no slow roll by the drum major. Bummer! Lol

Prerecorded music starts the color guard action. Huge horn hit!! Holy smokes melt my ears!!

second set involves drum line solo. Industrial dark feel to the show. 
trumpet solo accents the the 3rd set. 
3rd set ends with a powerful played ballad. 
show ends on a strong, loud, dissonant horn hit. Then with positive loud flourish where troopers end up 10 to 10.

Troopers again come out ablazin' with that "We're back, beeches" attitude and a show very Mandarinian in its dark, very powerful tone. I love em this year. First time for me since probably 1973.

Was really cool having drum corps back in the Texas panhandle.  Beautiful night, great venue, and great drum corps.  Lots of first time viewers tonight, was a fun crowd to be a part of.  
 

Blown away by the quality and energy this season.  Truly happy seeing corps out there performing again.  Hope this show stays.  It was cool seeing the activity back in my neck of the woods.

Long time no see there @Rileydog.  I see you’re still sporting home team colors 🙂

Absolutely!! Wish I could see their show this year. They were scheduled for last night but logistics didn’t work for them to be there. 
 

I hope y’all are well!!!
