Cappybara Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well, if they want to improve, they need to work on individual marching technique and music, especially percussion. There we go, now we're getting somewhere. Agreed. The percussion has been in shambles ever since the Sanford in 2010 and is accounting for almost HALF of their deficit to the Cavies. Visually the feet are just dirty and I could hear some of it in their sound. These guys usually hold the brass back until later into the season so I'm not going to comment on the brass (they sound pretty good to me). The new closer is this design team's opportunity to redeem itself and boost their currently lacking GE scores. I think passing Cavies is definitely manageable if they make the right moves in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

year1buick Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Well, if they want to improve, they need to work on individual marching technique and music, especially percussion. Well, I heard from Gene Monterastelli (who randomly sat next to me during the Mandarins show) that Bob Smith will be rejoining the corps for the next two weeks. So cleaning of the feet should be occurring tout de suite as the French might say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUTAMom Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) As the proud parent of a marching member of the World Class Phantom Regiment, I could not remain a quiet Guest on these talking boards. While I am reassured that the opinions entered here only represent a miniscule number, my tolerance for intentional fouls has decreased. Shame on you from 19 years old to 99. If you disapprove of a Brand, so be it. But egregious inflammatory rhetoric regarding an entity most of you know zero about is an acute display of ignorance. Redefining failure may be a good place for the naysayers to begin their reflection. Edited July 19, 2015 by SUTAMom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan9 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 As the proud parent of a 4 year marching member of the World Class Phantom Regiment , I could not remain a quiet Guest on these talking boards. While I am reassured that the opinions entered here only represent a miniscule number, my tolerance for intentional fouls has decreased. Shame on you from 19 years old to 99. If you disapprove of a Brand, so be it. But egregious inflammatory rhetoric regarding an entity most of you know zero about is an acute display of ignorance. Redefining failure may be a good place for the naysayers to begin their reflection. Good on ya Mom. Sometimes in their effort to both criticize and fix corps "some" DCP contributors cross the line and think that spewing vitriol somehow makes what they say more impactful and relevant....in all cases... it is neither. PR certainly has some rebuilding to do, but they are quality at the core and will recover as they always have done. They just need to stabilize their staff and listen to each other. Coming off of their historic win in 08 they appeared stuck in one design direction and failed at collaboration ...this is the real path to success .... stable staff and open mind to other ideas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's the same people that have "sand in their vag" about who they perceive as running Phantom. The "we" vernacular, being used as some giant organization of people that feel this way as a justification to continue a crusade against this fallacy. The reality is it's simply a projection made on this organization and show based on this whole made up drama. Making assertions of everyone I know(small group) feels this way is silly. The fact is the group running this corps now have taken it from the brink of failure to a corps that competes well and is (more importantly) finiancially viable. If that is failure sign me up (again). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUTAMom Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thank you, Plan. Redefining & refining are the mark of many a successful venture, so agree with your take. Reading your reply gave me an idea for a show....VITRIOL....think of the music that could hammer that theme home. This is art, and interpreting is the nature of the beast. Remembering there are human beings providing the fodder for discussion remains essential...when one member marches, entire families are invested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
