Troopers return to DCI elite
Three days into the 2009 Drum Corps International World Championships, a familiar face will finally return to the coveted top 12 of drum corps elite. After a 23 year absence from those ranks, the Troopers of Casper - Wyoming overtook the Colts by a slim margin of .30 points taking 12th place in the Semi Finals competition.
Troopers Drum Major Corey Moore said before the corps' momentous score was announced, "If we do get into Finals tomorrow night, everybody is going to be proud. The alumni are going to be so proud. We just all came together as a family more this year and we all wanted it together enough to get us to where we are now."
Moore said Friday evening's show was, "all about emotion. We gave it to the crowd and the crowd gave it back to us. It was an unbelievable feeling." The Blue Devils won the Semi Finals (98.400), with Carolina Crown in second place (99.550).
