It could actually end up being one of my favorites. I prefer old school to new school, but the judges don't. I would actually argue this is false. There has been some years fairly recently, where I feel one of the only reasons they were able to stay in finals was because they stuck to their tradition. (Not this year though, this year seems solid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Regiment to rise, they'd have to beat a few corps, and I'm not sure which one(s) that would be, if any at all. But for Regiment to fall that far, they'd have to lose to a few corps. With all due respect to those groups, I think only Boston could potentially be up to that task. (I like Blue Stars but not sure they could do it, and I can't see Xmen or Academy doing it) Edited June 28, 2017 by kdaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcsnare93 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is probably my favorite Phantom show since Turandot. Sure it's rough right now, and needs some work, but this show has potential. I'll enjoy seeing how it progresses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I like Blue Stars but not sure they could do it, and I can't see Xmen or Academy doing it) Not that I want to see Phantom do poorly (quite the opposite), but they will not beat the Boston Crusaders this summer unless they make HUGE strides. Crossmen could be a tall order too. They are stronger than last year I believe. Like any year, however, I love Phantom Regiment because I love that style of music and their traditional approach to sound. There is no doubt that over the recent years they have struggled some to find their competitive edge -- a balance of tradition and new. With corps like Academy, Crossmen, and Boston getting much better; and with Blue Knights having already jumped into the top 7 or 8 most years, it is becoming more difficult for corps like Phantom and Madison to obtain top-tier placements in DCI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to start anything. But it gets a bit tiring when I see page after page of critiquing a corps. If all I saw regarding my corps was people b*tching and moaning about placements, I wouldn't be very happy. I'm not saying that everybody does that, but it gets a bit aggravating to be honest.

I asked my boy the other day if he was still was loving it and is it living up to and beyond his dreams. His answer, "Yes!" He's working like crazy and loving every minute of it. Btw, he's not my son, he's my former student....although he almost called me 'mom' accidentally once when he was a young band student in jr. high. :-) I'm pretty proud of that young man. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
