Troopers - THE ORIGINAL 'AMERICA'S CORPS'

The Troopers place a strong emphasis on music and visual performing arts education as part of the members' overall experience. To help achieve this goal, the corps strives to retain the finest educators from across the country in both music and visual arts.

Our music educators come from a wide variety of high-calibre university and high school music programs from across the United States.

Our visual staff comes from marching band, drum corps, winter color guard and indoor percussion programs that top the charts year after year.
