This is my favorite line of 2016. I have no affiliation with Troopers or any of their staff, and I marched snare for a competing corps in '03 and '06, so I have absolutely no bias. This is just genuinely good drumming. Top 5. A couple of grey spots in there, but more clarity and content than probably 9 or 10 lines that outscored them. Good front ensemble as well. Great work (members and staff).
I just think it's funny how they'd rather have a whole other organization from a different state etc. serve as a feeder rather than their very own "B corps" within their own organization.
Cameron Cavender Also the tenor player all the way on the right. His name is jabil. He cane to my school for rehearsal he now teaches at lambert high school
It seems like a lot of drumlines are adopting the Rennick style. Well, that's great!! And by the way, I agree with what others said. This aint no damn 14th place. This is like watching Vanguard with a blue uniforms on!
Actually this is basically a Rennick line between Vanguard Cadets and Vanguard. I'm pretty sure it's run by UNT grads/ Vanguard Vets and written by Rennick. So that explains their likeness. Excellent line though.
*When Rennick writes for a line, he's doesn't hold back. Or so it seems. It's up to the performers and staff to nail the content they were given. And boy did these guys pull it off*

This drum line was scary to compete against
Nick Lazo what did the academy get in percussion?
Jordan Droomer 10th
Nick Lazo damn nice man
VERY memorable year for us, thanks for always being there @innovativepercussion!

I appreciate that.
This is a world class line, awesome tenors, snare awesome, bassline incredible, great writers and directors. Hot.
zechariah2010 umm this line is world class
This is not a 14th place drumline.
Get your shit together DCI.
They probably had a shit run
+Nick Fenech Right; or DCI is just fucking ruined.
+Nick Fenech We did not. Pretty much sounded just like this.
I know. This is total bullshit. Paul Rennick I'm sure wrote this book along with SCV's.
+Nick Fenech you don't just have a "shit run" that can drop you all the way down to 14th, especially that far into the season
they are more vanguard than vanguard cadets are lmao
yeah i think that's because casey brohard(bd vet) is there caption head/arranger. Doesn't seem like rennick is super hands on when it comes to scvc
Troopers is a Rennick line. Book by Rennick, staff from Vanguard/UNT.
I just think it's funny how they'd rather have a whole other organization from a different state etc. serve as a feeder rather than their very own "B corps" within their own organization.
AznAfroMan513 As far as I know, it is only considered to feed the percussion section.
AznAfroMan513 that would make much more sense, lol Santa Clara vanguard b. Would kill to be a part of that if that was a thing.
The tuning on these snares is just sweet!
Damn wasn't expecting them to be this good
Honestly, the entire 2016 Troopers Drum Corps was crazily underrated that season...percussion especially.
Probably the most underrated line in dci that year
4 of these drummers are going on to march SCV in 2017, just thought y'all should know
Will Hoffman damn really. Which ones
1 bass drum; 3 snares. Dude left of center and left of him. Also 2 right of center.
Will Hoffman Yeah, they had quite a few last year who went to SCV
Correction. 1 bass drum. 4 snares.
Cameron Cavender Also the tenor player all the way on the right. His name is jabil. He cane to my school for rehearsal he now teaches at lambert high school
Without watching the picture, it just sounds like scv. How is this 14th?
Because timeslotting
That's a really good point.
The whole 2016 season scoring was super wonky to me.
Troopers battery a.k.a. SCV's AAA team.
Jesus christ these guys put many world class corps drumlines to shame this is badass

this is the best I’ve ever heard Troop. solid
Reminds me of SCV. Sounding good!
pianoman598 that’s bc scv and the troopers are very closely tied. Paul Rennick is the director of percussion at scv and work with the troopers as well
alright Troopers! I see you there!
Bro the snare player on the far right is our drum tech😂😂. Mr balls
Came back and now I truly feel 2019 SCV in this
Im sorry...14th place my ass..
Well said.
Fuck yes, troopers.
14th place my ass
YEA BASSS!!!!!!!!!!!
That snare tuning is dynamite 👌
None of those guys are going to be Troopers in 2017. They'll all be top 5.
tmyer2 as a guy auditioning for Troopers 2017, I'm not sure how I feel about this comment...
***** best of luck to you Dawson. Give it hell. Hopefully they have the same staff as 2016. Trust me that comment was a complement. Those guys shred.
tmyer2 Idk, Troopers are one of those corps that wants people to stay there. They focus a whole lot on the family aspect of corps
If this is the 14th place, then who is 13 through 1 better than this? So clean!
My Drumline Tech marched with troopers - he's on the snareline's far right)
Anyone have the sheet music for the snare break? Or maybe the page on snarescience if it's been transcribed
1:25
The Real SCVC lmao 🔥🔥🔥
Holy fucking shit these guys have beats better than top corps.
*When Rennick writes for a line, he's doesn't hold back. Or so it seems. It's up to the performers and staff to nail the content they were given. And boy did these guys pull it off*
what sticks do the snares use?
The snares used the FS-PR2 model - www.innovativepercussion.com/products/fs_pr2.
Thanks! Just got a pair and they feel amazing.
The quad writing at 1:15 is sickening
My buddy is the second tenor from the left and it’s ridiculous how dope the book is. One of my fave tenor licks ever lmao
Matthew West... Damn
yeaaaaa jason🤙🏻🤙🏻
middle right quad player has a stroke at 0:56
Sounds like scv book
1:15 THAT WAS WET
Ethan Pierce that’s my boi on center tenor. This is one of my favorite lines ever. So orgasmic
What tenor sticks?
lonnie register they’re the innovative percussion Paul Rennick signature sticks. TS-PR
