You hear it with every corps announcement (well, almost every) "Drum Major John Philip Sousa...is your corps ready." Phantom Regiment is the only corps that still calls them "conductors," correct?

To pile on to that, are they the only corps to have a DM using a baton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy's DM last year used a baton. I believe SCV and Madison have also used batons in the past. Not sure if any of those three corps still use them. Phantom may very well be the only one now.

He's a Cali native who marched SCVC before PR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Schehr Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Is the young man who played the flugel solo in Unchained Melody a trumpet player in BD this year? I swear I saw him playing a mello solo in The Academy this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob (unchained melody soloist) is marching BD this year, however his brother Zach is still with The Academy and does have a solo this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
