Fan Mom Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Loved the following quote from the PR banquet - - "It isn't about winning. It's about WORLD DOMINATION!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick Dad Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Dan Farrell also said at the banquet that he thought the members this year had an above average skill level. So let's give some credit to the members being of high caliber. Edited August 14, 2012 by Buick Dad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Given the fate of most of Turandot's suitors I suspect most people are quietly loving them from a safe distance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'd say third place is more than a little love. They did very well and beat some other very fine organizations to earn that placement. My fave show this season, and for many other folks. If they can get the percussion section back on track, they'll be in a better situation to get higher than 3rd. Some people have trouble separating the issues that maybe their favorite program doesn't win. There are usually good reasons, and it's okay to enjoy a non-winner more than the champ if it floats your boat the most. I'm not agonizing over the fact my fave DCI show didn't win. I understand why, it's all good, PR will strive to improve what needs improved for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 who cares about who is talking about them on DCP. You should have seen the souvie line at finals. Longest of them all BY FAR.

Buick Dad Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 They sold out of shirts before the end of Saturday. And they had a lot of shirts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom1701 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Staff changes usually equate to a brand new building process that seems to always result in a drop in placement, ie. SCV from the mid-2000's until now, Blue Stars 2012. But what does Phantom do after getting a new brass caption head, arranger, and visual designer all in the same year? They achieve their highest placement since Spartacus, that's what! I'm a huge Phantom Phan and really loved their show this year....so I hate to even go in this direction. But there has been some pretty strong debate regarding the whole Rennick/Gwaltney change. I'm in the camp that doesn't feel that a change in caption head should necessarily equal 2 back to back 7th place seasons, but many feel otherwise. It is interesting though that in this case staff changes equaled a positive for the corps. Hopefully next year the percussion scores will at least be more competitive so that they can make a serious challenge for the gold. Either way 2012 was a great year and a solid program that was appreciated by most, if not all fans.

euph2008 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Phantom gets ALL of my love. No corps can compete with their class and beauty. That's why I'm hoping to march with them next summer for my age-out and that's why I wouldn't want to be with any other corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabadabadoo Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The fact that this is even a topic completely BAFFLES me. If there are any two corps that have this boards undivided attention, it's phantom and crown. Stop being a cry baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Stop being a cry baby. Do you think that was really necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
