poprocks Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Playing notes on the page - BD Playing Music - Phantom I agree with this sentiment. While BD has (at least lately) a fuller sound and a certain level of technical proficiency, Regiment's hornline has a musicality that BD just can't match. And I agree with another previous post; if Regiment weren't on Jupiters, their sound would be more of a contender for that title.

tubabeard42 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'd have to agree the the couple of previous posts. I'm not the world's #1 fan of BD's shows. However, where they outdo corps that I personally thought had better shows is execution. BD are very clean and precise, including with their sound. They have amazing technical execution. However, I prefer Phantom's music and the overall sound they have. They tend to sound very rich and symphonic, if not always as tight as BD. I'm very much a drum corps rookie, though, so my opinion may not be worth much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 BD- 23 Jim Ott trophies total from 1972 to 2011. From 1974 to 2004, PR had one. I am unsure how many they have gained from 2005 to 2011. Judges do look at fullness and maturity of timbre by the way, as well as the musicality of the section. So according to the panels-- and the scores-- this really isn't even a discussion..... I'm suprised PR hasn't more of them, but facts are facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGuy1288 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 According to the judges: Blue Devils. According to me: Phantom Regiment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleMissRebel Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I would rather say that they are different rather then saying one is better then the other. I think their approaches aren't comparable. Edited July 3, 2012 by OleMissRebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutburger Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 hmmmm, I tend to give credit to a horn line that can play and move at the same time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
