An_drew Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Apparently "Sunny the Sun Prop" from Troopers 2023 MIGHT be making a reappearance in 2024? Mary Duerkop said something about it in an interview with Dan Potter at the Januals. Also, I love that they call it "Sunny the Sun Prop." She also said "Dance with the Devil" is sort of a continuation of 2023, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of a direction this goes in. Hope it's another good one, because I really would like to see them stick around in finals. Here's the interview: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 There was some whispering last season that 2024 would "continue" the story and that the white uniform that was seen for a time would be the corps uniform for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Thanks for sharing! (But my personal aside, the less Mellilo in drum corps, the better.) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
