Marching Forward: How Troopers Legacy Corps is Uniting Generations & Fueling the Future
What do you get when you combine military discipline, musical passion, and multigenerational spirit? You get the Troopers Legacy Corps—an all-age drum and bugle ensemble committed to legacy, community, and lasting impact.
In this episode of The Boosted Volunteer, host Robin Eissler sits down with Mark Kincaid, fundraising chair and advisory board member of Troopers Legacy Corps, a proud extension of the historic Troopers Drum & Bugle Corps from Casper, Wyoming.
Mark shares how a one-time reunion group transformed into a sustainable, mission-driven organization that brings together alumni, families, and first-time volunteers alike. He walks us through his personal journey—from a military career to a leadership role in the Corps—and the challenges and triumphs of managing a diverse and passionate group of volunteers.
You’ll learn how Troopers Legacy balances urgent needs like new equipment with long-term goals like scholarships and endowments. From streamlining communication through BoosterHub to creatively engaging “age-outs,” Mark offers practical strategies and heartfelt lessons for any booster leader working to build something meaningful.
Whether you're leading a performing arts booster or launching a brand-new volunteer group, this episode is packed with inspiration, tools, and real-world insight.
