Phantom Regiment 2012


Recommended Posts

I stand corrected. I was thinking of Pagliacci, and if I recall, the soloist was perhaps RD from NW LA St.? I'm using my foggy memory on this and I don't have any recordings with me past 1990 except for 1999 (outstanding year).

I used initials because I don't want to bash anyone. There was tremendous exposure, too, on this piece. A very tough position to be in. Takes a lot of kahungas to step in and say "I'll do it - take on the toughest part of the show with total exposure". Takes a lot of self-confidence, too. Perhaps a little off topic, but one could say, how about the Scouts sop soloists and the BD sop soloists (meltdown there, too in 19xx?)? I would say that the exposure was much shorter with lots of backup.

It makes me cringe to see anyone blow their solo because I feel very bad for the player. I was a soloist of sorts in jazz ensemble because I was the only one on the instrument. I made mistakes and it still bothers me, but I was covered by the band and recovery is part of musicianship.

I hope every moment in every Corps is as good as they can make it.

It's RV actually. (A very accomplished musician and educator. And a very cool guy.)

Nice clip. Well done. Unfortunately I have major problems with streaming and I think it's due to poor connectivity with my wireless. I usually get no more than 2 seconds, then have to wait over a minute for the next 2 seconds. Very frustrating.

Thanks for the effort. The problem is on my end.

Corey, Thanks for the information. Can you provide more information? Where is he teaching? I have homes in Louisiana and Texas. I think R may have been from Louisiana. I was absolutely sincere on my point that extensive exposure should be recognized and given great credit.

Thanks,

Kevin

I thought RV moved up north and lived in Minnnnneeeesuta. He was from L or T, went to NSU back in the day.

According to Facebook, Phantom is getting new uniforms again. Do you think it will be a show related touch like the Montague crest from last year? Anyone else hoping for all black? :thumbup:

My vote's for a new shield plate like last year. Hopefully the plume will go back to all white.

I'm getting more excited about this show.

Excited to hear a different brass arranger. And I have always been a fan of Jamey's drill.

I'm ready to be entertained.
