jasgre2000 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Sad to see how far Phantom has fallen since their last trip out west. They've never been my favorite corps, but they have historically put a beautiful (though non-boundary punching) product on the field. I like the guts of this show, but it isn't up to traditional PR standards right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I could clearly hear the brass is when Phantom's own mics pick up the horns and shove them through the speakers (which honestly is such an insult to their hornline and a completely terrible idea). Mics have been placed the same for every corps. When a corps comes out and drops their stack right in front of the mics --- THAT's the problem. How about some advance planning and usage of one's brain, show designers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetOFFmyDot Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Oh boy. That is not the Phantom Regiment so many of us love. This will be a rough summer. I'm all for a challenging show, but I think every caption was written above the possible achievement of the members. Ugh. That was not good. Not good at all. I'm very shocked. The Mandarins and Pacific Crest looked bigger and more confident than Phantom. Yowzers. Edited June 26, 2017 by GetOFFmyDot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcsnare93 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Vanguard! Such an intense show. Like their use of the props as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry -- fit the mics to whatever the Corps decides is best for their speakers. Not the other way round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
