We are pleased to announce several new ways to audition for the Troopers in 2018. One day brass auditions have been added to the fall schedule in the following areas:

-Palmview, TX

-San Antonio, TX

-Boston, MA

-Boise, ID

-Casper, WY

Combined Brass and Percussion/Full Corps weekend camps will continue in Mesquite, TX and dates all the way through March have now been announced at www.MarchTroopers.com.

Auditioning by video is a great alternative to those that have legitimate conflicts and are unable to attend a live audition or weekend camp. More dates and locations are being worked on and will be announced when all logistics are in place.

We are thrilled to expand our reach and offer even more opportunities for students throughout the United States to participate with "America's Corps."

It's great to see the Troopers offering more audition opportunities across the country.

It was the final year under the direction of legendary founder Jim Jones — the year following a finals performance that would be the corps’ last for over two decades. Pat only marched one year, but that experience clearly moved her. She believed deeply that the corps could rise to even greater heights. This roo
