PhantomCrown Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Why can't they do something they've never done before? Everyone seems to want them to just recycle shows Does nobody have faith that the show designers can come up with something exciting and original?

Everyone seems to want them to just recycle shows Does nobody have faith that the show designers can come up with something exciting and original? Yes, I have faith. The designers come up with something exciting every year. I just feel that Symphonie Fantastique deserves another shot. IMO, this is one of the least known and most un(der)-appreciated shows in DCI and the music is right up Phantom's alley. Next year will be coming up on 29 years since they last performed it. Like Spartacus, I believe that's a long enough break. But, since they brought back Spartacus, I highly doubt they'll bring another show back from the dead. Which is why I brought up Bach. A rarely used composer and a hard sell on the field. But if anyone can pull off Bach, it's Phantom. Edited August 2, 2008 by skajerk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Here's something for thought. Why don't they play New World Symphony in 2009? This was brought up for their 2006 anniversary show, and I said back then that maybe 2005 Glassmen may have "ruined" PR's opportunity to play it again. A few years will have passed since Glassmen dug it up again, so maybe it's time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyle079 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 lohengrin(wagner), or new world symphony, if they had done it any other year than 89, it would have won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I dunno, they're doing an awful good job with Spartacus! They're doing totally different music, thank goodness, but yeah, I'm loving the music Phantom is putting out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
