war eagle Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 1 minute ago, Bama Belle said: From the Phantom Regiment website: Set amidst a musical landscape of sweeping, symphonic scores and dark new musical textures, Phantasm explores the stark contrasts between reality and imagination, the real and the unreal. A twisted musical and visual challenger emerges as an intruder from within the classical tradition of the Phantom Regiment. This seductive, powerful character begins life solely as an invasion of mind, but quickly becomes something more, blurring the lines between beauty, madness, and desire. Forced to confront the enemy within, newfound strength leads to an awakening, and phantasy gives way to reality… Additional description: ACT 1: Dark forces are in control of the corps, changing their normal white to black. It affects everything from their persona to the music. This act contains some of the most frenetic field movement and guard work. It is meant to make us feel unbalanced and confused, as is the corps in their struggle against the dark force. ACT 2: The corps fights to regain who they are. You will notice a lot of struggle for control over the dark forces, resulting in the appearance of the light force as the Rachmaninov begins. You will note that the music moves from dark, atonal at times (quite unlike what we associate with Regiment), to a beautiful ballad in a major key. ACT 3: The corps begins to win control as the battle rages, with the corps finally breaking the "spell," reflected in the white helmets, white guard units, and the bright flag design. Even the music reflects the beautiful, romantic/classical genre PR is known for. These are descriptions that were shared by someone else; they are not my personal interpretations. whatever!

jwillis35 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 So far I loved Boston the most. Total show from music to drill to guard to marching and overall visual. Great theme with a beautiful ballad. Phantom Regiment gets my most improved award. They have a fun show and I love the last 2 minutes. That's classic Phantom. Crossmen have one of my favorite music books of the summer. That will be a must listen on radio in the car. Not sure about the visual, but they are marching well. Overall a strong corps, but that music is just AWESOME! The Cavaliers are one of the best visual ensembles in DCI this year. Visual proficiency, analysis, killer guard -- it's all there. Cavaliers also have an excellent percussion section, and brass is quality. But I continue to be underwhelmed by the music -- both in choice and construction. Too choppy and seemingly tossed in for a quick effect. They definitely perform well but I do not see any chance they pass Bloo or Crown. They just do not have the construction, achievement, or demand in brass and total music. Having said that it's a fun show. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
