WORLD PREMIERE

America's Core
 

The Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps are one of the most respected drum corps in history. For 50 years they traveled the nation, entertaining millions of people including Presidents, and celebrities like John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Walter Brennan.America's Core They won eleven National Championships and are founding members of Drum Corps International. In 2006 severe financial problems paralyzed the organization, forcing them to dissipate, possibly forever... or so we thought.

After restructuring, the Troopers returned to the competitive field in 2007. This is their story. Last summer, the director (and former Drum Major) followed this group and documented their honor, loyalty and dedication.

The Troopers are the only competitive junior drum and bugle corps in the state of Wyoming. Founded in 1957 they have held many championship titles, are a popular America's Coreattraction at professional and collegiate sporting events, were the first competitive drum corps to participate in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade; represented the state of Wyoming at the 1993 and 2001 Presidential Inaugural Parades and have performed in concert before World's Fair attendees, NATO Defense College delegates and Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and George W. Bush.
