jonwoody Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I am surprised that this forum is still up. Was here a week ago and was sure DCP would close it down. I have never seen so many trolls,homers, and haters treat each with such disrespect. Many here think they are experts. Many here seem to be holding a grudge for whatever reason and can only find this forum as a way to vent their anger. Try therapy with a professional for starters. From what I have read, I have the perfect solution. All Phantom has to do is make phd-student-whatever his name is President,King, Ruler, Director. He seems to know all and have all the answers.He is especially good at insulting people who do not agree with him. There are several more people here that seem to have all the answers. I am sure phd will have the corps in 1-3 spots every year and will keep peace in Phantom land by simple banning all those that disagree. Time to either treat each other with respect or find somewhere else to spread your hatred and anger because this does nothing to improve Phantom and only leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of the real Phantom fans who are sick of adults(I assume most are adults) who have nothing better to do than to be critical of one of the greatest corps in DCI history. I am not a Phantom homer. I respect and admire the way they have handled themselves over the years even after hitting bumps in the road as all great corps do. Stop bringing your personal problems and vendettas you have against them to this forum.If you have nothing constructive to say and are just going to continue to spew your hatred then I am sure DCP will be more than happy to make sure you find another site to do it in.

You were on this thread yesterday posting the same thing. Not a week ago. Also, don't go looking at the Chester tour of champions thread. There are some naughty things being said about Regiment that might give you the vapors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another drive-by request to close the thread. Try this, I promise it will work!.... when you look at your screen and see " Phailing Phantom-- How Phar Will They Phall?"....DON'T CLICK ON IT!! Your mouse may float above it.....JUST DON'T PRESS DOWN.....Fixed! Although the IT folks at DCP are very clever.... they haven't quite figured out how to get a specific thread to open up involuntarily....but seeing your clear angst over this thread...they are probably working on it feverishly as we speak!

dalyea Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 See what I did there? Anyway I'll be blunt and I'm sure I'll enrage quite a few people. I saw Phantom three times in California this season and am watching the live webcast tonight. Geez. I am not impressed. Performance is OK, design is... Not. Performance isn't good enough to make up for design flaws (or, phlaws). In my opinion, this trend has been occuring with PR for the last few years. What's the deal? Have they just become a middle of the pack 6-8 place corps? I could see them as low as 10th. Go ahead, chew me out. :-) I have Phantom finishing in 6th place this year: http://davidalyea.com/dci/2015/ Across the board, scores appear to be 4 points lower this year than previous years.

I wonder if there were some scoring changes made for this season - I haven't kept up to date on all the DCI rules and judging changes. In any case, if PR scores appear a bit lackluster, it's not your imagination - and, it's about the same for most drum corps this year, about a 4 point drop over previous years. Looking forward to seeing all the performances in Indy next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Constructive comments are different than venting someones hatred and anger. I'm sure you know the difference. Well here's some of the comments from the Chester thread: This show is exceedingly mediocre. The percussion is not very good There's not much more to say; Regiment has really not recovered from losing their all-star duo of Shaw and Rennick to SCV. Pretty accurate assessment of PR. They are unfortunately trying to use a buick to beat Indycars ### it hurts to hear all this stuff about PR, because I know it to be true. I love Paris, when it doesn'tfitthetheme. So that's constructive criticism? ..... if you say so.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousAndCurious Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) The last four seasons: 3rd....6th.....7th.....and now 8th? Fine, I suppose. Fine by Regiment standards?? An upward trajectory? 8th? The season isn't over yet... Edited July 31, 2015 by AnonymousAndCurious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
