BozzlyB Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I never predict (no future in it ) ...but I predict that Shane's line will do as good or better than the vis, ge, brass, guard and overall placement of PR in 2011. Book it! If some of PR's percussion vets move west...so be it. Shane has the chops to mold a young, skilled and willing line....all he needs is the rest of the PR package to stay at a high level of design and performance. Interesting, a bet we could actually both win and both lose lol. Edited January 13, 2011 by BozzlyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His line will hardly be inexperienced considering almost half of Spirit 2k10's battery/front ensemble followed him.

Stu Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) > The volume of growth over a season is more impressive to me than only finals night achievements most of the time. If this is a true statement, BigHoosierMack, that you are most impressed with volume of growth and not final performance "most" of the time, then I suppose "most" of your ticket money goes for Open Class shows, "most" of your Souvie money goes to Open Class corps', and you "mostly" enjoy Open Class Finals over World Class finals; because it is in the Open Class venue venue, not World Class, where the "most" impressive volumes of growth exist within the individual as well as the ensemble.

Given Spirit's 15th place line last year I wonder what this means for Phantom's drumline in 2011. Let's say all the guys from Spirit that try out make the line. One would have to assume the rest of the auditioning talent is of like or less quality, esentially indicating Phantom's drumline in 2011 will be around 15th place from a talent level. Anyone know how the Spirit vets that came to Rockford have done in auditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how the Spirit vets that came to Rockford have done in auditions? Well, I would assume that the Spirit vets moving to Phantom would have improved to at least 12th place or better talent this year. Then you have students who want to march with Phantom of varying talent levels, say 1st place talent and down... They'll probably be fine. It's a combination of all the elements. I wonder how Spirit's talent will be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantombari1 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) The last couple of responses make my point. Given a better placing corp maybe he will get the true recognition he deserves or maybe he deserves the placement they've been getting. I expect at the very least a top 6 placement in percussion. If that happens I would call his first year a complete success. Edited January 19, 2011 by Phantombari1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how the Spirit vets that came to Rockford have done in auditions? Why would you have to assume that? I personally know a guy from one of last year's top 6 lines that's marching Phantom this year. He's pretty talented and seems to think they'll do well.

Which lines do you feel PR can beat from last year's top 9? And why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
