@efernelius Sorry, not undefeated. SCV beat them at North American Open in Milwaukee. 82.50 to 81.65. That was the first time we ever beat them. It was truly an honor. Troopers were pure class...
@@morgannowlen8375 True! Drum Corps has a rich history from the beginning to today. Between all of those who've been there and done that, we can learn many things. ☺❤
My brother and I played with the Kenosha, WI Kingsmen for many years, looking back I think the Kingsmen were one of the first all age corps. In name they were a senior corps, The 60's were great ! These uniforms were the best ! classic Union Cavalry style uniforms ! Civil War style rope tension drums unique sound. I'm not a big fan of these new uniforms being used in 2023 !!!! Body Suits / Spandex. & Props & Electrics
I agree with your comment 100%. We no longer have real drum and bugle Corps today. Thanks to DCI they turned the activity into a marching band competition, superimposed on a three-ring circus. They need to change the name to marching band International, just call it what it really is today.
Back in Old School drum and bugle c o r p s, many competitions were held on a baseball field. It was very difficult to navigate to line up your fronts and so forth, but we did it. Today they need Lions they need props they need all sorts of instruments. We no longer have a real drum and bugle Corps
Back when we still had Real Drum and bugle c o r p s. It was one of the greatest youth activities throughout North America. Unfortunately in my opinion DCI is turn this wonderful activity into a marching band competition today, superimposed on the three ring circus. I have nothing against marching bands but please stop calling it a drum and bugle Corps it's a marching band former member of the Long Island sunrises
Always liked their sound quality. The tunes are familiar and well played with good tuning and well scored. I thought the Aquarius rendition was strange and out of character to the original rock groove, way too fast and odd rhythmically as if the composer didn't know what (s)he wanted. However that's a small point. Overall very impressive.
Outstanding, in every single caption. Today is November 30th 2023 it still gives me goosebumps, watching a real drum and bugle Corps
The Troopers are the Taylor Swift of my life !!
😂... "correct!"
The VFW did not sponsor this event, it was just known as the “World Open”.
Good to know, thanks for the info. I found this on an unlabeled VHS tape so I filled in the blanks as best I could.
That corner entrance was so cool!
I was there. Great performance!!
Damn then and their perfect interval!!!!
that was a great world open, was just a 12 yr old in the stands. member of a class c local corp. 21st lancers norwood
Santa Clara Vanguard defeated them on 7-11-70 in Milwaukee 82.5 to 81,65
The greatest Trooper corps ever. Undefeated season, National Champions!

Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever marched as well as the Troopers. A high bar that will never be exceeded.
My dad loved the Troops since my day with them. Loved the guard & the American flag guarded by a rifle or saber. My grandfathers were impressed

Funny not seeing yard markers.
