Western Burger Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I just watched them as well. The brassline is really moving throughout the whole show. I think it's great that they stepped up the difficulty, but I hope they can overcome this drill to put some power behind them. The low brass sounds weak at times, but that might have just been the recording I was watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough but I think the low brass is the only section holding their weight right now (and the guard) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Sooo no comments on how relatively well they're scoring so far? The show is still incredibly dirty and has more difficulty than the corps in their vicinity right now. Haters gonna hate, but PR is outperforming people's expectations so far, and their scores over corps like Blue Stars and BK show it. Also their brass being only .1 behind Blue Stars' fantastic hornline is really great to see! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polonius Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 observation from DCI Minnie - the amping of the entire corps is detracting from the signature PR hornline sound - From what I heard last night in the stadium, the sound of the hornline coming out of the speakers, gives the hornline a flat, dull and lifeless sound - ditch the mics on the front sideline and just play as normal - I don't think you need to try to augment your sound through the sound system. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like watching a corps show live with the sound coming from YouTube. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of us on here are Trump supporters and you don't see us abusing a forum about drum corps to bash anyone but DCI judges. 2 hours ago, ThirdValvesAreForWimps said: This is a forum about the Phantom Regiment.

RetiredMusTeach Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I was so pleased with what I heard and saw via FloMarching from last night's show. I'm not a former member, don't have any children who are members, don't work for them, just have a sentimental attachment to PR because of the glorious beauty they have brought to the field in the past. I sat in front of my computer screen and just soaked up the beauty and power that I was hearing and seeing. Any "dirtyness" went right over my head because I was so enthralled with the show. It was much better than their first performance that I saw and I am loving this show. In a lineup that is filled with jazz, dissonance, and angst-filled music, it was just refreshing to hear the rich beauty. And a standing ovation from me to that flugelhorn soloist - wonderful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
