Popular Post Sasha1 Posted August 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2018 I saw the 2018 show in the season opener movie this June. The Phantom Regiment performance was my favorite one to watch. It seems to me that there are many really wonderful shows this year, I can’t wait to see the Regiment in the finals next week along with a few of my other faves. Apologies to all for not having a list of complaints : ) 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a staff change? The caption head left for Bluecoats in the offseason. The new caption head is a little young, but she and the staff seemed solid (according to their resumes). The guard designer, Tim Newburn, is new this year. He worked with the corps in 2015 :/, but did some good things with Glassmen and BK.

kdaddy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I rewatched Regiment's 2015 show last night - City of Light. I will forever have contempt for Regiment doing a show featuring a Paris shopping spree and an otherwise naive concept for showcasing Paris and the music of French composers. But the musical and visual design was vastly superior to what they're doing now. Far more musical effect, and I always thought the drill was great (a good mix of formations and scatter). Time heals all wounds, I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of Regiments music issues seem to be a result of poor staging. It’s just all really a matter of “who” that side of design should be. I'm really not sure that the staging is affecting the music. The music is affecting the music. They could have staging from 'on high' but the music just doesn't support it. They are doing the best with what they have been given, but as someone indicated, 3 ballads is a bit too much. That wouldn't even fly in the 60's! It's time to get out of the comfort zone, which some have indicated this show is a 'step' in that direction. However, taking a step while everyone else is running still leaves you in the dust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't come for Wagner :) Are you an opera fan? When I was getting into opera, I had made my way through Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Puccini, then decided I had to tackle the Ring. That was the biggest project I have ever taken on when it comes to really emersing yourself in something and studying it. Siegfried was, for the long time, the only one I could listen to completely through. Now, years later I have over 30 recordings of it and totally love the whole thing.

Rocketman Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm not sure how well "The Ring" would translate into todays chop and bop activity? But it would be interesting. That said, I think they could do a complete show (with minimal chop and bop) of Pictures at An Exhibition. It practically screams for story telling and I'd be happy to consult on it!
