zachariaswmb Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Woah did not know that was JD Shaw. Pretty cool. Yup! He actually reprised it once in 2007, too. At one of the drum major education camps that Regiment held, a kid attending the camp got the chance to conduct the Regiment hornline playing Nessun Dorma (they were doing it as an encore piece). He said he would only do it if JD played the solo, so he obliged. I wish I had marched that year, so I could have heard that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pes49 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Patrick Seidling is one of the best people to have ever run Phantom. Rick Valenzuela was running it when they won in 2008 - Yes you know ###### well that I Seidling had done all the work to put them in position to win, no slight to Valenzuela Edited July 30, 2014 by Pes49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm going to pass around a collection plate for the "Please Come Back JD" fund. Surely with enough $$ he'd overlook any issues with upper management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 That definitely had me scratching my head, too. Do people send messages to other people this way or is my imagination too active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos001 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Do people send messages to other people this way or is my imagination too active? In a podcast or interview for a magazine, Hill said something about the opera being his idea after he listened to it in the car. He then passed it along at the first design meeting.

Lincoln Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes you know ###### well that I Seidling had done all the work to put them in position to end, no slight to Vakenzuela Gee - I wonder what all those ###### mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then passed it along at the first design meeting. Ah, ok. Do you think he would have realized that the last time that piece was played it was played by the arranger he was replacing by the corps he was going to? I mean, I knew and these people are more connected to the activity than I am. Eh, just make me "go hmmmmmmmm". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
