After their adventures to outer space in 2019, Troop has come back to earth and struck oil. Their visual program has to have taken one of the biggest leaps of any corps on a caption and subcaption basis since 2019, but I'll defer to my colleague @MarchingArtsBTN on the exact stats.

It's very true. Troopers only scored above a 24 in Visual once in 2019, during semifinals. In 2022, they've already broken that threshold 4 times a full week before finals.

that phase with the gold covering their eyes (brilliant metaphor) and the Oil Sunburst are both just "Chef's Kiss" touches. Given the inherent criticism of voracious oil usage/moneygrubbing, it will be a bit awkward seeing that in Lucas OIL Stadium <snort>
