From the 1990 DCI Championship Program:
In addition to touring eleven other states and two provinces this season, Troopers have already spent much to their time touring their home state of Wyoming, helping the citizens celebrate Wyoming’s Centennial. Several years ago the state legislature declared Troopers the “Official Musical Ambassadors” of the state. After traveling around the country for several years, in June the corps brought their tour to the residents of Wyoming. They spent two weeks hopping from one town to the next, sharing their enthusiasm for the state and demonstrating to the natives the farthest thing Wyoming has from a state secret. The coordination of publicity by local alumni (it seems there’s at least one in every town in the state) helped to generate large and enthusiastic crowds at each stop.
In honor of this important year in the history of the state, the Troopers are calling their show “Music for the Centennial of the State of Wyoming.” All music has a distinct Western flavor. Music from the hit movie “How the West Was Won” comprises a major portion of the show. This has been one of the most popular works the corps has played over the years. Next is a medley of “Silverado,” “Pops Hoedown” (the percussion feature) , and “Shenandoah.” The emotional moving treatment of “America,” by Carmen Dragon, serves as the closer and a perfect spot for a seldom seen American flag presentation. Once again, Troopers succeed in doing what they do best, which is being the Troopers.
Remarks at the Frontier Days and State Centennial Parade in Cheyenne, Wyoming
July 20, 1990 (President George W. Bush)
“So, it’s great to be here for this 94th Frontier Days, for the “granddaddy of them all.’’ It reminds me of rodeo atmosphere in Texas. But I want to say a special thanks first to the Casper Troopers. I’ve heard of them, but never heard them in action before.”
