Unnecessary comma?
"As 57 MXS Fuels Rodeo Team representatives, we must present a professional image during the competition that adequately reflects the 57 MXS unit's high standard of professional excellence and team uniforms will achieve that goal."
Does the comma belong after representatives? Originally I had the sentence written:
"As representatives of the 57 MXS Fuels Rodeo Team, we must present..."
And the comma made more sense. However, in an effort to make my wording more concise I restructured to sentence to remove "of the". Now I'm not so sure if I still require the comma. Any help is appreciated!

If you felt you needed it with 'of the', then you should feel that you need it without 'of the'. I do.
