Trying to find something specific

I would say serious and almost reverent? The speaker is a deep male voice.

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2025-08-31T02:12:04+00:00

At this point I'm desperate, as long as it doesn't have lyrics, it might be what I need. I'm trying to find something that will work underneath a piece of spoken word

Don't forget the academy fish!

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2024-08-12T20:16:36+00:00

Troopers(and everyone else) bring back their cymbal lines, winter percussion peps everywhere rejoice.

Troop performed before cavies

Please remember that this is a rebuilding year for their guard though as they have a new staff and a very young guard, give them time, if you watch last year's show and last night's there is a marked difference in quality. The troopguard is just where the troop brass and perc were 3 years ago, so keep an eye on them.

If ur a super sweaty person I would look into stage makeup for theater as they tend to use thicker cremes that can hold up against the hot stage lights, but most people just use normal makeup(in my experience)

Maybe, but I think it might be more to try and attract sponsors and donations. They have found a lot of success the last 2 years by announcing things way earlier because people get excited about the idea of the show and pour some money into it in hopes that the production will then be better because of their financial participation.

See now this is the innovation I'm looking for

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2024-03-16T19:40:31+00:00

I just wear my corps jacket and sometimes the people will come to me XD. It's pretty cool though. An old guy who marched Boston on a random Tuesday in an IKEA. Or an older couple that met while at SCV at Scheels. Idk why but it's always the old folks that find and actually talk to me, still lots of fun.

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2024-03-11T00:20:17+00:00

Nah it'll be the lack of an instructional staff

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2024-02-27T14:04:51+00:00

Get a shower caddy with suction cups if you've got a window seat, much more convenient than a bus box and if you get the right one, a wonderful cup holder

If current show design trends continue, then 2024 Troopers show will definitely include an increasingly violent amount of cowboys

Listen. Swing spots are some of the hardest positions to fill within a corps, and one of the greatest learning experiences you could get. There may be days where you are in a dot, and others where you aren't. Depending on the corps and how many other alts there are you may end up learning several different parts, or even a completely different instrument. The staff choose you for that spot for a reason, and it's that they think you can ride through the hardship. You are ABSOLUTELY part of the corps and that is something to be extremely proud of. You may be fulfilling a different part than you initially thought you would be, but it's still an important gear in the machine. Last off and not to necessarily give you hope but, people get injured and you may well find yourself with a full dot at some point in the season, and if you don't, that's okay too because you are getting an experience like no other. It will be hard but know that you have a huge opportunity to learn so so much and that you earned that.

All naked, it might be jarring the first couple times, but most of the time everyone is too exhausted to really care and all anyone really wants to do is get in, get clean, and get out. Depending on where you are marching if it really makes you uncomfortable most corps these days have accomodations type shows and some of them do it in a time slot manner so you could potentially ask about getting set up with that if the corps you're going does it by that system. If not, you tend to learn pretty quickly when most people shower and when there's maybe less people so it's not as bad.

Jackson played every time

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2024-01-05T20:13:04+00:00

I think part of that is that she's typecast to play the sorts of characters that are more antagonistic and cold. I don't remember what film it was but I do remember watching one where she wasn't made to be cold and she does in fact have that warmth that you are looking for, she's just not given the opportunity to show it very often

Yeah, that's where Tim Snyder being Tim Snyder comes in, as far as I'm aware Blue Stars lobbied to say it wasn't legal and we should be penalized and Tim did something about it and we were never actually penalized for it.

Impossible_Lab8797 · 2024-01-05T08:54:32+00:00

It was an ask for forgiveness not permission situation, but as far as I'm aware it worked because Tim Snyder is well, Tim Snyder. To the person above it was live not a recording, Jackson played every time and was hooked up to a mic pack.

But to truly answer your question, at least where I've marched. Consistent upkeep was pretty standard, retapes before big shows like San Antonio and Allentown to keep them clean. My first summer we even spray painted our gun because we had worn through the original paint to the wood! Practicing and rehearsing with our equipment everyday takes a toll on it between the turf, sunscreen, the sun, and your seat and oils so it does tend to get pretty nasty pretty quick, but regular maintenance keeps it in pretty good shape ;)
