Phantom pit had at least 4 age-outs this year.

Yeah, I'm too! (wait for it................)

Just checking in...any flaming poo on the schedule for tonight?

Taking the field in Lawrence @thecolts 5 minutes ago from Tweetie The @crossmen on the field throwing down. Looking and sounding BA as always. LOVE THE CAPES! 30 minutes ago from Tweetie A very impressive show from Spirit. High energy and very entertaining! 31 minutes ago from Tweetie AWESOME energy from @jerseysurf tonight. Great show!

Boy, this thread sure is hoppin'.

C'mon storms - just push east a bit so we can have a show. I've got releatives that want to see their PHANtastic niece perform!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful pix. MarimbaMom

Good luck Phantom with all the changes.

Thankyou! Your pix are always amazing!

Ridiculously obvious solution regarding ALL threads. IGNORE the ones you're not interested in. I probably only read 10% of the threads but it's pretty inane to complain about the ones I'm not interested in. GO INT! Last year's theme - Xanadu.

Sorry - gotta do this once.............

I love the Phantom music this year. I'm surprised that so many people are focussed on always having a strong story line. If a show has dynamic music, something entertaining to watch on the field, i.e. colorful flags, rifles and sabers (or violins, ski poles, whatever) tossed well and kids putting every ounce of their being into performing, I could give a rat's patootie if there is a powerful story line. I have enjoyed many shows over the years where I get a feeling of a theme but would never detect a specific story unless I read the bio. For me, it is sooooo much more about the music and the heartfelt efforts of the members. Did I love Spartacus last year - you betcha! And I've loved other story-driven shows as well. Sometimes, strong story/character driven shows have totally missed the mark with me and I would just prefer to focus on watching the musicians perform or watch a terrific rifle line tossing and catching to perfection. I'm one of the fans that sits up close and wants to have my face blown off. Sometimes I even close my eyes.... This isn't DCI Drum Bugle and Theatre corps...............JMO of course. YMMV

Darn double post - grrr............

Thank you so much! Been anxiously awaiting to see Phantom.

Audition for corps that are within driving distance. Airfare for 7 or 8 camps can easily add up to $1500.00 - $2,000.00. Gotta fly home from finals too.

I'm mom of corps member, not the member, lol. Guess the picture is a little misleading. Kelsey is still with Phantom, front and center. She is the pit section leader now.

Wish I could be there. Go Regiment!!! Y'all be careful in the heat

And if you have a kid in corps, they'll take LOTS of your money, year after year after year after year after year. Yup - that's 5 years with 2 more to go.....

PHANtastic! I'll go call the bakery and I'll post back in a little bit.

I'm so jealous - I haven't seen her since May 14th and won't see her or Phantom until July 19th in San Antonio.

Dinner is at 5:00, ensemble is at 6:00. If you can for sure do this - let me know. I'll have to call the bakery and/or Walmart. Thanks a bunch.

REQUEST Is anyone going to be at Phantom's practice site on Monday, June 29th? (Beloit HS) I'm trying to get a birthday cake to my daughter and haven't found a bakery that will deliver a cake. There's a bakery about 3 miles from the site and a Walmart about 4 miles away. I would prepay for the cake - just need someone to pick it up. Either lunch or dinnertime would work. It's so hard to do these darn summer drumcorps birthdays.

They should be done by now - anyone have anything to report?

I think they are supposed to add one synth to the pit to play a certain "violin" part.
