Avon's Skin So Soft works great. Put it in a really small spray bottle and carry it with you. Learned about it during the Vietnam era.

Learned about it during the Vietnam era. you'll have to bring 150 bottles with the Gatorade. Does it come in red to match their gloves? Or black to go with the cargo pants pockets on the unis thighs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a common theme mentioned in too many postings the past few years. I always thought the statement "the best corps to never win" was a rather honorable one when PR was setting the Summers on fire with anticipation, power and finesse performing shows that even the most novice DCI spectator could associate with and appreciate. Simplicity is the root of all complexity! Edited July 17, 2017 by Land_Surfer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantombari1 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) I'll say this like I've said for many years...its all about what's given to the kids. Music sub Par +Drill Sub Par = low placement. My first comment of the year on this show what that it felt like a High School show...When comparing it to the corps above them if feels like a High School show... Youth has nothing to do with it.

Rocketman Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Blue Knights, whether you like them or not, IS what DCI has become. The Regiments offering this year, while slightly more modern, IMO, still lags behind the corps above them in the area of currently accepted programming. They have stuck their big toe in the water while others have dove in head first. Again, IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Got to see Regiment over the weekend, admittedly on video. It's a nice show, and it's a nice Phantom show. But compared to what the top corps are doing, it does feel a bit of a throwback. I hate to keep comparing corps, but there's no reason that Phantom couldn't do a show a la Crown's Inferno, E=mc2, etc., and still fit right in the "Phantom" wheelhouse. Regardless, I'm rooting for this show. DCI is more fun for me when Phantom is challenging at the top. :) Mike 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
