22 years after aging out at Bloo, and this brought it all flooding back again. Sitting there on finals day realizing you don't ever get to do this again. Who the heck is cutting up onions in my house all of a sudden?
I totally agree with you my bloo brother. I know that this is a Troopers piece but we are all DCI and while the songs my be different our may be Autumn Leaves and yours my be Battle Hymm we are all bound by the bond of long hard days, sweat blood and tears. I agree who opened up the onion sac in my house. Love all of you whoever you march(ed) for.
It’s hard for someone who has never been involved in drum corps to understand how much this activity really means to those who earn the right to participate. Thanks for posting this personal moment.
dude I’ve never seen a troopers show before...why am I crying??
@Jasmine, Why? The Power, The Dedication, The Majesty of it all, Drum Corps. International in its most precious moments; I remember Casper at Falcons Stadium- Cerritos, CA 81' and Montreal, Canada 82. I was part of this wonderful (DCI) dynasty (1982 Kingsmen- Contra Line), forever within my heart & soul.
On top of what Kevin Montoya Sr. said...you're human and have feelings. I have NEVER participated in DCI, nor have I ever went to see a show, but that doesn't stop my tears. Paraphrasing "I think, therefore, I am," you feel...you have feelings, and the music lent itself to emotional stirings. Music, along with love, go straight to the heart, where most of the emotions lie in wait. Music is the key that unlocks the door and allows the feelings out...now it's up to us to collect those feelings - slowly - so we can cotinue to enjoy doing what we enjoy...crying over tremendous performances of music that stirs our souls.
The Troopers 2016 age out was more powerful than in years past, because of the authenticity of this show. In 2016, they created the material themselves. From their own lives. Each of the featured heroes was from a marchers' life-- each was universal, and unique and touched the audience. The show was deeply personal and heartfelt with a subject matter that was grippingly authentic and even profound. The Troopers in years past had been focused on patriotic themes or Western stories and classics, but this was an authentic departure defining who the marching members really were at their core. That's the true battle for the professional artist-- to create shows of substance, deeply personal with authenticity and personal resonance. Bravissimo.
Beautifully said
Yes, you are witnessing a long time heritage of those who have trod the path of the great Wyoming plains of Casper. For those of the past, become those of the present, and of the present, those of the future. When we witness performances like this one, we come to realize as participants, educators, and onlookers that this is the life that yields a breed of responsible people that will always blaze the sounds of the infamous Trooper "Battle Hymn" throughout their lives. To those within this circle of unity, many blessings to all. LOL JW
Play like they did in 1969 and 70, that is how it should always be played, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
That, is a lot of age-outs. Amazing season Troop!
Contra '99
As a drum corps man to this day (BSGK), and a retired Army officer, it's this kind of music that says so much, to so many. Brilliant arrangement, perfectly played. Oh yes, I recall aging out. I felt and reacted like many seen here. Well done, Troopers!
The feeling of finality, it’s almost like losing a loved one, how you wish you’d savored each day a little more, how you long to stop time and always be there with your mates
😭😭
Knowing it'll never be the same. And that no organization that you ever get involved with will ever be like this one. All you can do is try.
I love watching when men can finally release all of their held emotions..you don't see many men crying out there all across the world. But here, in this circle, you can feel the emotions ringing out of every Trooper. They don't want to go, but time is fading and it's time for them to put their horns down and thank the universe for giving them the opportunity to do this
I remember the feeling 😢
wow such a large 'graduating' class, wouldn't you love to see a Troopers alumni Corps with over 250 performing members?
Think of Mr. Jones & all of the kids that aged out of this fine organization. I marched 79-81 & this still gets me
Battle Hymn of the Republic may be the best ever written. Certainly people have shed the most tears listening to it.
Not a dry eye in sight... Mine aren't either. Fantastic performance!
After watching the Troopers 2022 show and witnessing the closer, I got curious and searched up “dci most emotional moments” and this was the first result. Hope to see more of this corps in the future
Very Nice Song
I’m not even old enough to be in dci but this made me emotional thinking what if I was one of them
Hoping my son makes this corps for 2019.
24 Lancelot good luck to him!
Did he make it?
Did he make it? I hope he made it.
@@jasonmartinez7667 He eventually gave up the corps life and focused on getting his degree.
@@lostthedog He eventually gave up the corps life and focused on getting his degree.
This is absolutely awesome! But would be SO COOL if y'all would bring back the classic Kerchner Battle Hymn Chorale arrangement. As great as this is, there's just something about the classic Kerchner chart that's so emotionally gripping and right to the point. xD
Dang I felt that
Y'all had another magnificent year! God Bless!
Always such a powerful reminder of my time with Troop. Welcome to the Long Blue Line!
Indeed....yes!!!
😭😭😭
Who is this arrangement by?
As a low brass person I love hearing songs like this and the feelings and heart everyone shows in this song!! Great Job!!
This arrangement is by my son, Michael Terry - done while he was low brass coordinator for Troopers (2010-2013). He now teaches brass with Gino Cipriani for Boston Crusaders.
Did the age outs ( please explain the term ) sit in the middle of the horn section while being serenaded by their fellow drum corps that were still involved
Yes. Age outs refer to the members of the corps who reach the maximum age a person can participate till.
@@killertanktim00 for the troopers that's 21 right?
@@JoLynnPaulsen0402 It's 21 for every corps affiliated with DCI
Most all Jr. Drum & Bugle Corps have a similar exit performance for their age-outs. Troopers belong to a unique group where only a hand full of Corps have a history dating back as far as the early sixties.
well, shoot! :'(
Have you seen luis suarez??
Are they the ones in the center or the ones playing?
The age outs are the ones sitting in the middle getting emotional. The members playing in their honor are members still of age to continue to march.
How many aged out?
I believe around 50 members aged out that year.
What is aging out?
In DCI, an age out is a marching member who has reached the maximum age allowed by DCI. They can no longer continue in the activity as performers with any corps. Aging out = no longer able to perform and exiting the activity/exiting DCI.
Mi pregunta es por lloran 😢
What is an Age out?
In DCI, an age out is a marching member who has reached the maximum age allowed by DCI. They can no longer continue in the activity as performers with any corps.
I'm confused aged out of what?
The band
being a Member in DCI
Y are people crying
Because they've reached the maximum age to perform in Drum Corps International. They cannot continue to do the activity they love and are incredibly passionate about. Some were performers for years, others for one year, but all poured their heart and soul into each and every show with the corps. They're very sad, but also grateful and celebrating their time in the corps and in DCI. This was their swan song performed in their honor by members they've passed the torch to who will continue to carry their spirits in their beloved corps. It's extremely emotional.
Must be something wrong with my brain here, why we crying for? It's just trumpets playing, although good lol
I’m sure these people poured their heart into gettin into and staying in this coprs. and they are sad to see that part of their life move on in this celebration of their aging out.
We all know why we checked the comment section
Why?
