jthomas666 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Don't know how I missed it in 2010, but I'm certainly making up for lost time. It kind of went like this: Saturday: bored, search for shows on the site that must not be named. Found a clip of the ending to Into the Light. Watched about five times in a row. Sunday night: got the audio and video on the Fan Network, put on my iPod Monday: Lose track of how many times I listened to it at work. I'm still not sold on the middle part of the show--some ideas that just didn't quite coalesce (but some really sick drill moves). But sweet mother of God, the opening and closing are glorious. THAT'S the Regiment I want to hear! Today: Ordered Kamen's original piece on Amazon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How_Will_It_End? Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm thinking about buying a yo-yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindap Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 CG DCP is slow even though guard season is ramping up so I'll post here to say a word or two or three. Watched alot of DC live 1968-1983, 2010 was my first live show in years. "Into the Light" was pure enjoyment for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Freedman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This is my favorite modern Phantom show. It was wonderfully consistent, flowing, dreamlike. A great show to introduce someone to drum corps with. If I recall correctly, the tribe being born and dying represents the disappearance of the Anasazi native American tribe 1000 years ago. The 'spirit guide' is in love with a human woman, so they can never be together ... or can they? (That's my take on it at least). Here's a DCI article about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This show has a special place in my heart. I'm Native and we are the direct ancestors of the Anasazi. That same year in March my father passed away just three months after I got married. He was my biggest fan and always came to as many shows as he could when I marched back in the day. Watching and listening to the show that Finals night in the stands was surreal, almost like my father was there in the stadium. I cried after that performance and all the memories I had with my father during my marching career from the fundraisers, to performances, to the sacrifices he made to ensure I could march, were just so clear and real again. It wasn't the cleanest show that night, but it was the show I remember and cherish most from that season. Thank you PR and to the OP, I'm glad you found this great show! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step 5: Repeat step 4! Please don't. I love this show to pieces (and the corps itself of course) but that opener is sometimes painful to listen to. They did not have a good intonation night.

lindap Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It seemed that some of the 'drill' formations early in the performance were somewhat mirrored later in the program. I enjoyed the visual that evolved from bottom left to top right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
