(We didn’t have it until 2nd year, though.) Try to enjoy some of your summer, I hope you get to see some drum corps!

Sounds like a great sensitivity training to bedside manner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Okay cool. Regarding Phantom Regiment, I'm wondering about design philosophy. Does an arranger say "I know I have X number coming back, or individual Y coming back, so I will write to reflect that"? Or does a designer write what fits regardless and just assume the section can play it (then edit later if necessary)? I'm thinking about this in the context of Regiment's tenor feature. Percussion has not been a strong section for the corps lately, so it seems a bit risky to put a bunch of folks on an instrument that may not be natural to them in the first place. Also, a couple folks commented on how dirty that feature was in some early videos (though it's early and the video wasn't great). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a final exam this friday and then studying for my Part 1 Board exams right after, staying on top of DCI is gonna be tough this summer Happy to hear all the great impressions of phantom though, they look fantastic in pictures, hopefully I can see a runthrough soon! Hopefully you will get to see some kind of drill. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfrontz Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Nice job tonight, Phantom! I could tell you came out aggressive and selling the show. Keep on adding and cleaning and you'll have a great product by the end of the year, something to be proud of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the color was striking and elegant. At least from my view in the stadium I thought they were gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpbobcat Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Looking at the uniform reveal pictures, they had on a black helmet. Last night the Drum Major had on a black helmet. Last night during the broadcast Will Pitts said something to effect of "not having the helmet, just for the helmet's sake". Does anyone know if they had intended to use the black helmet,then dropped it or if they didn't intend to use it all along ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
