olddrummer34 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Looks like Michael Lentz (from onyx) and his team are out at Troopers. This was an exciting off-season development for them and is quite the bummer. I wonder why it happened? Also noticed that they Hired Jason Rob as a program coordinator who was, if Im not mistaken, at Madison Scouts last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Golly. ETA - Guard staff is indeed blank on their web site. Edited February 2 by IllianaLancerContra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cainan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Wow.... that sucks for the kids that tried out and got contracted at Troopers. It was no secret that guard was the Troopers weak link last season. Getting a new staff in would have put a buzz into that section and that is now gone. Imagine going to Troopers to age out, thinking one thing and then after contracts were given out finding out its something different. Hope they have a plan.

2muchcoffeeman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Very little of the guard at any corps is contracted at this stage of the off-season. Troop hasn't even really begun Guard audition camps, AFIK. The February camp is brass, perc and conductors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids commit to a corps, not a particular instructor, or set of instructors. It's just like the kid that signs a letter of intent to play for a particular coach only to have said coach leave for the NFL or a different university before he/she sets foot on campus. Commit to the institution, not an employee of the institution. Employees come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me guard and especially (battery) percussion members to commit more to their instructor than their corps these days. But maybe that’s only at the highest echelon (the Rennicks). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
