I haven't written them off, but it's hard to feel as though they're moving in a forward direction, when they program the same composers and themes year, after year, after year, after year, after year, after year......
What’s old is new again....,I don’t recall them playing music of 30 Seconds to Mars before.

Thanks for the link. At least the designers are giving newer artists’ music a try. Let’s see how they do with this. I’m excited to see the result. Not ready to write them off as some posters here do year, after year, after year, after year, after year, after year......

Anxious to see what they do with this program. I think it’s a timely topic given that women are taking a larger role not only in politics but in many other historically male dominated roles.

Well done Bluecoats!

I would imagine the footage is from Colorado where certain staff reside. Duh.
As for the show announcement? It has possibilities. Let’s see what Mark Evans brings to the mix.

Three of the most deserving people I’ve had the great fortune to march/work with! Congrats and a great big SUTA! Hey, how come none of you have aged?

the corps performed a bad show really well. I was amazed at how much they improved since June.
Get a new program director and music writer.
Or perhaps a new director.
on a more positive note, I’m thrilled to hear the corps is bringing their a game to Indy! SUTA!

Well you certainly are entitled to your opinion. I think the judges are taking a different view.

Give the team time to grow. They have evolved (especially Will Pitts) over the last couple of years to put together better shows. You have to let the team learn to work with one another and before time design will be like clockwork. I feel positive about the steps Regiment is taking. Maybe a few staff pieces are missing, but once they get someone who can really add and mesh their ideas with the team, look out!

We’re in week 2 of the season.. if anything, the Regiment has a history of pouring it on in the home stretch. With an improved design this year, it may help them move up a spot. It is possible.

I remember it clearly.... what’s your point? Marching members knew about it.
Back to the regularly scheduled discussion of 2018 Regiment....I’m happy to hear the show is challenging the current marching members and the show has growth potential.

Try 1977 PR

Having just watched the clip posted, thanks MommaDCI!, I am truly optimistic for the 2018 Phantom Regiment. Love this music book! It will develop based on input over the season but it is currently more solid than last year at this time. That last revisit to Going Home??? Needs a more intense fugue....aka the Ostinato in 2003.
thoughts?

Get a grip. All I said was they are playing terribly out of tune. Sitting down and standing in place even. And they were playing Amazing Grace. Not a hard piece to learn. Obviously it is a young corps but playing in tune is fairly fundamental.
Whatever......I’m sure they will get their intonation cared for.

11Intonation leaves a lot to be desired
I think my brothers and sisters of 2018 Phantom Regiment will do us proud!!!! Focus and believe in yourselves. That’s what we did.
I don’t get it. Fans are saying the Regiment should modernize and when they do they criticize! Darned if you do darned if you don’t. REALLY? Do what is true to you and your fans will understand and support you. It’s inside of you...unleash it! S.U.T.A!!!

I believe you may be thinking of the Iron Brigade from Madison Heights, MI (my first corps). The Blue Notes were from the UP.
God bless Ishpeming!

Ya can't please 'em all now can you? I am anxious to see how this develops over the season. The music choices are stellar and Will's arrangements will not disappoint. Now, about that uniform.......

2019 Phantom Regiment
in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Posted
Why should the Regiment be pigeonholed into standard “heavy classical” music? Fans want them to try “new and fresh” music which is why they are exploring something new with Call to Arms. If you recall, Spartacus didn’t rely solely on classical pieces and it worked just fine. Rhapsody was a complete departure from the normal Regiment fare and it became a popular show with fans. Let’s see how the Joan show is put together first before we write them off for the season....in March, mind you.
