​

1985 movie theme of same name.

My daughter once belonged to the Casper Drum and Bugel Corps under a director named Jim Jones, musician, who served as its director and leader in one form or another from 1957 until his passing in the late 90s. I loved this song they did so beautifully the most, while I was a Trooper mom.

A Tribute to Troopers International Drum and Bugle Corps

from the song "The Long Blue Line" by Sean McCratigan (1938-2011)

​

Sean McCratigan was a longtime fan of the Troopers. He discovered us in the 1960's, but he was never able to march because of his service in the military. He was a Vietnam veteran and war hero, and a devoted supporter of our corps for more than 3 decades. In recent years, he supplied uniform parts for many of our drum majors. In 2004 He wrote a wonderful tribute to our beloved corps. We lost Sean (Gunny) in August of 2011. His song, set to images by film director and former Troopers drum major Michael D. Gough, helps us all remember just how deep and meaningful the Long Blue Line really is. longblueline​

The Seven in 1960 version were: Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, and James Coburn.

My daughter's Troopers Internationa Drum & Bugle Corps also played this one during her 7 years in the corps.

That is really get-up-and-go-music, no matter when it is played. No wonder it's top ten western songs of all time.

This one was also played many times by the Casper Troopers International Drum and Bugle Corps while my daughter was marching. I really loved it, too. The Casper DCI group under Jim Jones, musician and building contracter in Wyoming, always delivered a class act. How fantastic it was to watch any one of their performances. I'm getting misty just thinking about them today. <sniffle>
