Guard Caption Head, Dr. Chelsea Toner

I couldn’t be more excited about what’s in store for the Troopers Color Guard this season! Our staff has been working tirelessly in the off-season to craft an exceptional curriculum designed to elevate our performers’ skills and artistry. The response has been incredible—interest throughout the fall was outstanding, and our members and auditionees have been training diligently through the spring, pushing themselves to new heights in preparation for the summer.

The level of talent this year is truly remarkable. With more auditionees than available spots, the competition has been fierce, and we’ve seen an incredible display of artistry. The dedication and passion from our performers have been inspiring, and I can confidently say that we are assembling a team that will bring something truly special to the field.

This season carries an even deeper meaning as we bring The Final Sunset to life—the epic conclusion of a four-part journey that has followed the path of the Trooper. Every step of this adventure has been filled with trials, triumphs, and transformation, and now, we arrive at the final chapter. As we prepare to tell this powerful story, we’re looking for performers who are ready to embrace the emotion, intensity, and artistry that will bring this moment to its fullest realization.

If you’re still interested in joining us for this unforgettable journey, please reach out to guard@troopersdrumcorp.org about the possibility of submitting a Video Audition. Auditions will be accepted on a case-by-case basis!This will be a season unlike any other—one filled with passion, precision, and the spirit of the Trooper. We can’t wait to step onto the field and give The Final Sunset the breathtaking conclusion it deserves.
