eric49 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 You're absolutely right. It's far better to stand on the sidelines and go on long over-emotional hyperbolic rants about how nobody knows what they're doing and should all be fired. That's the true sign of being born to greatness. lol and some people are good at rationalizing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAZZER Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Have you really been following the DCI activity since 1988 ? If you have....you should 'Probably' know that..... Corps improve as the season progresses Corps programs are changed as the season progresses Sometimes corps have an off-night/performance etc..... Where will Phantom Regiment place in 2014 ? Honestly....no one has a clue. No one..... Take a look at where the Madison Scouts started in 2007 and where they ended up (placement wise)...... sheesh...... Not sure if you are advocating for a score flatline that Madison experienced in 2007? maybe you meant a different year? Over the previous 5 years: DCI ave 9th place score=89.3 DCI ave 10th place score=88 PR's ave season starting score=71.4 PR's ave season ending score=93.6 PR's ave season growth=22.2 So, I guess if they open with a 67 and hold true to their typical growth the previous 5 years they might realize what the previous poster estimated to be a season of 9th/10th placement-on average. It is true that no one can specifically predict. Just thought I'd investigate what has happened for at least the previous 5 years. 2007 was fun to watch Madison, Blue Stars, Southwind, Spirit scores.

HockeyDad Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 So I'm picking up just a hint that this might not be people's favorite show this year. Maybe they can change things up and move the killings to the beginning of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric49 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well the cat's out of the bag about the uniform. Listen to the Field Pass on DCI.org. Cesario and Potter are talking about the uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're funny, and you're right - I have no clue what I am talking about. Im just spewing **** to try and get people like you to send heated posts like this so we can argue all day, because really, that's what I want to do. I am troll, so hear me ROAR! Sarcasm aside - For all we know, they could come out and score an 80 on Saturday night. Maybe it was just a bad show. But logically speaking, they were really dirty - standing still. Could have been the rain and the shell, but I've seen videos of their past 6 or 7 years at the same shell and never seen that much drum dirt. Reports have it they have over 100 rookies - IF that's true, it will be an uphill climb all year. And, the book is, in my uneducated opinion, a train wreck. Put all of these things together, and you've got the makings of a very long and difficult season. If I had to guess where they will end up, I'd say 10th. But, that's just a guess. They could finish 4th, they could finish 15th. I'm guessing. Just a guess, that's all. I love Regiment, think they're fantastic, but they all have bad years every once in a while. Now go let some of the tension out of your g-string and try not to get too offended when someone says something you don't want to hear about your favorite corps. It's OK, really it is.

Jeff Ream Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 yall: the drum "dirt" you hear in the recording is a function of the acoustics of the space + rain more than anything. I mean of course they're dirty:it's early season. But that effect is exacerbated by the acoustics. I'm actually really excited to see what Bret does with the line. On first listen, book sounds interesting to me. i said that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 If Phantom were to drop to 25th this year, I would still love them. I'd still love them too. But alas, as G7 founding member, they won't fall too far if at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
