drumcorpsfever Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 From a present day perspective, the winner in 1989 would be Phantom. However, in the context of what was relevent for that particular show in 1989, I can understand why SCV won. I've actually shared the '89 Phantom and SCV shows to a few members of my family who had never seen them before, or were aware of their placement. After they watched both shows, the general concensus was Phantom was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It certainly didn't help that Regiment's Drumline was a bit of a mess in the percussion feature. Between that and the completely unnecessary attempt at swing high-hat, they had no chance. The gospel version of the Largo would have been so much better with only the brass line... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afd Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think SCV was technically better having seen both in person. I did like Phantom show a lot more than SC but SC was strong in every category that year even in brass. I do like the 1988 Phantom of the Opera show more than 89 version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perc2100 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I would suspect the way for Phantom to win would be if SCV dropped out or were disqualified. I think that was really the only thing that was going to hold them back that week in August 1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 That video reminds me of what I see in DCI as of late, pandering with nonsense visuals, pretending it complements the music when it distracts, cheapening and diminishing the experience of enjoying the music I’m either going to listen to music or watch porn, this, I have no use for; 2 half measures that don't equal 1 whole…sort of like dancing hornlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez you may want to start wearing your glasses. Hornlines nowadays can play just fine even with the crazy visuals they have to do. It's a freaking field show. Not a concert. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I saw SCV in person and was very impressed even on the So. Cal tour. PR I hear had a great show and have only seen video. Wish I could have seen both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
