Having marched with Phantom Regiment in 1985, early on learning the drill there was a lot of "get from here to there in xx counts" which made things sloppy at first but over time were worked out. And over the course of the season, everything did become muscle memory.
As I read the EV semi can only go around 250 miles without a recharge and that recharge takes around 1.5 hours. Not to mention the lack of infrastructure available to recharge at this time. It will certainly limit the touring capability of a corps. And the initial cost will be quite expensive.
Watched the DCI broadcast in 80, 81, and 82
Attended finals in 83, 84
Marched in 85 and 86
attended finals in 88, 89, 91, 00, 23
And my favorite that I attended was 89. Great year for Regiment and SCV.
For several years the Regiment has been lagging behind in the Percussion sub caption. They have to find a way to improve this in the upcoming years. Visually I thought they are doing great! A marked improvement over the last several years. Love this show no matter where they finish and believe the future is bright for them.
Regiment was on last night in Denton. Loving the strides they are making this year. Don't think they are as far behind the other 3 corps as the scores say. And that horn line is amazing!
