Lincoln Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 http://corpsreps.com/ 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014 He acknowledges that The Cavaliers members receive better treatment, acknowledges that the Phantom Regiment treatment is brutal and some of the "most difficult moments in your life", and in doing so is showing that that treatment is unnecessary because The Cavaliers have repeatedly destroyed the Phantom Regiment in the last 15 years. Destroyed? That's cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumbargleeful Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Destroyed? That's cute. Well, I sat out to add up just how many points that the Cavaliers have outscored Phantom Regiment in contests since then, but the calculator doesn't have that many decimal places on my Windows 8 machine.

It is unfortunate that as expected. this question has become about how Cavaliers have "destroyed" Phantom over 15 years as opposed to seeing the merits (and there are so many) of both corps. Yet at one point, someone was expected to make it something that it really isn't. After all, with all the space-tastic films and the availability of grammar sites on the web, someone had to pull out the word "destroyed." After all, it's such an exciting word.

It is an important distinction. Down play it all you would like, but the fact that members are treated better at one organization AND are competitively superior is and SHOULD BE a large factor in deciding where to go. This is just a common sense thing, but that concept is hard to understand for sadists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute is that you have yet to explain how Phantom Regiment treats its members superior to the Cavaliers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the member who posted the comment was thankful of his experience with Regiment. Is there more needed? Is there a contest? Does the winner of the "best corps" win a 100 boxes of Count Chocula? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been largely noted in this thread and others, the difference is easy to see in rehearsal. If there was a contest with cereal as the reward, it wouldn't matter...The Cavaliers would probably win it, such is the trend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The member discussed the virtues of his experience in Phantom. It was quite interesting. He was thankful for it. He even discussed how it had helped him. People who apply for Phantom want to belong to Phantom. It's not a contest over who is better. They either want to belong or they don't and apply somewhere else.

They either want to belong or they don't and apply somewhere else. The thread itself IS someone looking for information on picking one over the other. So yes, it IS a contest of who is better. Especially in regards to which organization, specifically, to audition for. This is not just some random thread, this conversation has context and relates DIRECTLY to the information the op requested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
