Chris Scott Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 So what? The show offers its own pleasures regardless of their placement. I think you said it best right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_itsnotadash Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Phantom will bounce back quickly in my opinion, as long as they do it quickly before the 0.6 stretches to 2 points and over. They have got to do it now before a spread happens. BUT if there ever was a corps to do it, it'd be Phantom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantombari1 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Although Crown and Bluecoats have a somewhat demanding book the drill is in no way close to Phantoms. Having said that, Phantoms drill does affect the playing throughout the show and (IMO) the drill doesn't present a clear picture of what they are trying to convey with the music. The guard uniforms don't add anything significant to the show, I found myself questioning the wings they were carrying because they seemed so small. I compare all the drills above them and what I see is the corps above them have controlled drills. They are getting rewarded for being clean. Difficulty is not taken into consideration. When you compare Phantom to the Cadets both have very demanding drills but the Cadets drill is controlled when Phantoms at this point in the season looks like a high school track meet. The kids are performing the heck out of the show but without flexability in the design they will have to settle for a top 6 placement in what is turning out to be a Fantastic top twelve. I don't know what changes the staff has in mind but I am sure they are considering all of their options.

Lincoln Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Phantom Honks (or Homers, or Phans, or what not) will rush to their defense, and if cooler heads prevail will say "You play the game (not the game) , you take what you get, you get on the bus, and you go the next show". I like this post - full of common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone Quality Matters Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Well, the placements are what they are. Personally, I'd rather keep Phantom and Vanguard up top. :) Why??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the recaps. Crown would still be up by .3 tenths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPhan4ever Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Ok, as probably the worlds MOST dedicated PR Phan in the NE, I am really looking at Regiment's performance(s) since Allentown, when I saw it live ( compared to YouTube, DCP Forums, personal conversations w/those attending shows thereafter) that Regiment is reall having difficulty with the "bird" theme... As good as the music is, how can it be effectively conveyed in 10 yrds in 11 minutes ? I said this way back in early June the ballad is tooooooo long, and the transition into siggestion has been changed several times already. If "IU" can hear these on a PC via tiny speakers -- the dissonance must be blaring in the judges ears. It's evident in the visual scores, especially GE where they are really suffereing. The drill IS demanding -- VERY, but the members are up to it IMHO. Their marching was great in A-Town, and they took feet that night but I am really, REALLY skeptical, for THE FIRST TIME IN MY 28 yr love affair with Regiment that they can clean as much as they have to with Finals only 3 weeks away! Looking at their on-line schedule, ythey only have 7 full rehearsal days aside from the remaining 6-7 shows they have. If there are to be changes made, THEY BETTER MAKE THEM SOON (RE: different guard costuming, those black palettes on the field, the sloppy marching & tighten this beast up! IT DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO WIN, but do they have enuff time? You're thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
