TAA Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be a member of the Troopers Alumni Association? Any person who has marched as a member of the Troopers, or any of its associated programs (e.g. Winter Guard, Cadet corps, etc). You must be over the age of 21 to join. Membership in the corps will be verified against official corps rosters and membership rolls.

What is an Associate Membership? An Associate membership is designed for those who were/are a part of the Troopers organization as a staff member or perhaps a long-time volunteer. These members in the Troopers Alumni Association never performed as a uniformed member of the Troopers Drum & Bugle Corps, but are recognized as a part of the Troopers family through their various other contributions to the Troopers name over the years.

How much does it cost? Single annual alumni memberships cost $25.00 per person. You can also become a lifetime member by paying a one-time membership fee of $250.00. Associate members pay $15.00 annually or $150.00 for a lifetime Associate membership.

I just aged out of the corps, how do I join the TAA? All age-outs are given their first year in the TAA for free. Your membership card and age-out gift are given to you by TAA representatives at the annual age-out ceremony each summer. After your first year, you may renew your annual membership or become a lifetime member of the TAA.

How can I contact other alumni I have lost touch with? Start by posting a message on the Troopers Message Center. You can also search the all-time roster on this web site. Many entries on the roster contain email addresses for you to contact long lost friends.

Are there Troopers Alumni shirts, hats or jackets available? Yes. Jackets, shirts and caps are available. Visit the Alumni Gear page for ordering details and availability. Trooper Rings are also available for order (these are available to former marching members only). Download this packet of information if you are interested in purchasing a Troopers ring.

What activities does the TAA offer? Alumni get involved in summer mail drop efforts, camp and tour preparations, BINGO operations, annual Christmas Carousel House activities, Mall Wrapping Booth and much more. The TAA is actively involved with corps recruiting efforts in the Rocky Mountain regions in the fall. The TAA Committee is always looking for more ways to be active and have fun. Your suggestions are always welcome.

I don't live in Wyoming, how can I be involved? The easiest way to be involved from a distance is simply to be in touch. Communicate via the Message Center or email. Perhaps you can contribute items for the web site or an article for an upcoming edition of the Long Blue Line Newsletter. Perhaps you can help by contacting the folks you marched with and get them involved, too. There is strength in numbers!

What is the TAA Committee? The TAA Committee is a group of 7 elected representatives of the Alumni body. These 7 people are charged with the leadership and direction of the TAA. The TAA Committee is nominated and elected by the paid TAA membership.
