    If you zoom in a little on the of the members, you can see a little bit of the uniform. From what I can tell, they are sleeveless and colorful. I also picked up some kind of blue lining across the chest. 

    Ok Btown50 taking a closer look now...  yes I see the outlines of what you described

    I love the ending added, it feature's the percussion and the staging is great, it's amazing. there's add changes or more like tweaks to flesh out some stuff to be better but you can tell there's so much more going to happen with this show since the sneak peek and i love it.  a lot of improvements already for color guard,  this show gonna be spectacular. I wait to see it in full glory, Decked out in FULL Uniforms or Costiforms lol, whatever they decide to wear, they always looking so great!

    For those dont understand the props you need to rewatch the show announcement video and see the inspiration for this show, the props are NOT metal fences, you get that DCI-86 lol, those are the diner glass from the painting along with bar counter (tables) and the bar stool. This is well staged, I get the feeling like I am inside the diner with all the characters, high simultaneous demand, really entertaining, percussion features is strong as usual, horn line is rocking it out, gaurd features I really love, they sound great and the drill is cool as usual, really well done. LOTS OF COOL MOMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS in this show, bravo. The bones of this show is really really good? Definitely top 2 but you know what forget about that. How about that ballad!!! The closer is not yet in and alot is not yet added or layered in. When this show gets polished and tweeked, wow just wow so enjoyable to watch and hear. Did I say entertaining? Yes it is.

    I just have to say this. For those who have heard a preview of BD music book and still dont understand it, something is clearly wrong with your hearing and brain. Because OH MY!!!! its insane. I listen to it yesterday morning and lastnight and today again, IT TAKES YOU INTO ANOTHER WORLD. Like looking at Bd in the past meeting the future,  It's like I literally see the show without even literally seeing the show just by listening. Its gonna be a fantastic show I love love love. Ita truly amazing! This book have everything in it, intensity, drama, emotional, soft, rich and lush and just thick and thin. Phrases, chop and bop lol YES I like it, Musicality throughout, it takes you moment by moment, from moment into moment, its gonna probably be the show to beat again.. I know SCV is on the verge yes with a monster show but BD genius design team is really unstoppable. The music makes me so excited I can't wait to see it on the field its just too good. Something classic something new something in between. I dont know how they mannage to do that. But oh my gosh it just so tasty good.

    And will we get a reveal of the uniforms this evening. Anticipation grows wildly and very curious if Bd gonna go the Full costume route like others or they'll keep it as a mix like last year Uniform and then reveal a tastefully done costumeish apeal. Maybe a mix ? Anyone ? Who knows something, Anything at all ? Lol

    Agreed. I watched it like 3 times last night before the video was taken down. I watched to make sure my initial reaction was accurate. You summed it up perfectly. It’s not the Phantom I’m used to. Right now that’s not a good thing, but it’s early and hopefully my opinion changes as the season progresses. I could possibly see Phantom in the 11/12 spot right now. 

    let's wait and see how it will turn out

    Phantom Regiment 2018

    Ok this is my honest opinion.. I've watched the video right, so here it is, Phantom Regiment is definitely trying to do something new, that i can appreciate very much. I don't understand it yet, but i believe i'll get it by the time the season officially kicks off in competition and i think it do have potential. whatever it end up being i hope it will be great by August coming and can mark a new chapter for phantom Regiment. my critique is that i wasn't so sure on the sound quality and type of music, i guess there's a first for everything and change is inevitable. it's not the phantom i am use to hearing and i am not so sure if it's good or bad. I just hope they don't get lost in what phantom Regiment is by trying modernize.

    They’ve been chop and bop for a long time. What I notice is by chasing Crown for the Ott, they too have gone run happy and this book is written with Crown in mind. Last year they used Bumble Bee as their Crown-copy run piece so it was more subtle with in the context  

    It also feels like last years’ book, half technical box ticking, bowing to the judges and the rest slow, build and musical. If it follows, more stagnant, group brass dance wiggle visuals for the brass runs with the guard doing filed coverage and the drums motions. I’m getting a 2017 part 2 with new props vibe

    Uh!!!! wth.... :blow: I'd sure like to pop your bubbles on that but, 18th world titles speaks for itself, you know what this years music is off the charts its amazing!!!! i love it and i definitely loved last year!

    2018 Uniforms!

    I like Phantom with helmets, but I agree that in the photo you are referencing the helmets look awkward. Color in the plume could help. It may also be the camera angle. If the photographer is using a wide angle lense and is kneeling, it may explain why the helmets look funny.

    Yeah.

    As I learned in BD - don't try, do.

    Yes atleast you get it, I wish many others would have also. I really enjoy the type of shows they do because I get it. Even though with the one's I have to  dig for the meaning but i really like doing that, makes the show even more intriguing to me. BD shows is like a hunt for treasure sometimes lol.  It usually doesn't take anything much out of me and I know not everyone is like this, they really don't want to dig fir anything. But life is not always like that, everything and everyone can't always be that accessible sometimes we have to dig beyond the surface. I say people can be lazy much.

    The sound quality of the A corps is unlike anything I have ever heard. 2018 Champion? I do no know but I will guarantee that ballad is just as good as last years effort and will have people on their feet jumping up and down.

    This year Blue Devils are undergoing a paradigm shift and the beginning of a new era.

    Yes indeed.. and I am loving the direction.. is it a winning show let's see, but for sure the music is insane enjoyable. Love the jazz flare so classic yet so new. If BD don't win I have no problem so as long as SCV win but any other worthy show who deserved it I wont deny lol. Still not giving up on BD 19th!!!
