CHECK OUT DEM GRAY PANTS
Source: thirsty-hoeSo I just found this video from my 2010 season. This was really the only good part of our show.
To the people who say the Troopers don’t sound good.
That time the stadium lights went out on a Troop rehearsal and they just kept going
THE TROOPERS LETTER TO THE G7
*just about everyone else….
*but Troopers had the balls to say it

I still get goosebumps every time I think about that moment. Having watched drum corps practically since I was born, it’s a little surreal.
The video absolutely does not do it justice, and neither does the audio recording. They cut out a lot of it (we had a looooong field-set-up, to be fair) and they actually went in and TURNED DOWN THE AUDIENCE in the balance (or we can blame the directional mikes, idk, I just know it’s comparatively lower). I know this because at the beginning of Spag West they DEFINITELY did. /trumpet ego

I think this sort of makes this an established tradition now, three in a row, right? I know it’s not technically at all related to Thanksgiving in any real capacity, but it’s the closest thing I personally have to a pilgrims-and-indians joke. Aside from the fact that I’m trolling my facebook feed with actual historical facts about Thanksgiving and making a lot of people really uncomfortable. Which I’m okay with because then there’s also a “‘MERKUH!” asshole posting stuff (“from a Canadian’s observations— ‘Only in America’” SUUUUUREEE) about how we have a black president and obviously that means racism is over, and I’d like to think I counterbalance that douchebaggery and bring some perspective to the table.
Note: Perspective is not a viable dish option for thanksgiving potlucks.
And who are those assholes at 0:26?
