quietcity Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Shout out to 2004: Apasionada 87. This show was based on the Nuevo Tango music of Astor Piazzolla . I am surprised this show has not been mentioned in anyone's good or bad list. It must have fallen through the cracks. It was classy, sexy and driving, with an ambitious and demanding brass book. But it was certainly not a typical Phantom show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjramsey Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 ok, this is hard for me, since Phantom is usually one of my favorites every year. In order by year: 1979 1987 - Songs from the Winter Palace 1989 - New World - just an amazing show 1993 - The Fire of Eternal Glory is probably my all time favorite piece of music from Phantom. 2010 - Into the Light - this show was the year after my dad passed away (also a Phantom Phan), and just moves me every time I listen. My Least Favorite: 2015 - City of Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRphan72 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've been waiting for this for WEEKS! It was really hard to narrow this down. FAVORITES: 2006 - Faust (for me, it had the best combination of good storyline, great music, excellent drill design that was really clean, great guard, & most of all...emotion!) 2008 - Spartacus (just a GE monster...the most energized I have ever seen a Finals crowd) 1996 - A Defiant Heart (minimalism at its finest...the opener is my all-time favorite) 1989 - From the New World...Into a New Age 1993 - The Modern Imagination 2005 - Rhapsody 1991 - Phantom Voices 2007 - On Air 2003 - Harmonic Journey 2011 - Juliet Honorable Mentions: 2010 (Into the Light), 1994 (Songs for a Summer Night), 2012 (Turandot), 1990 (Dreams of Desire), & 1987 (Songs from the Winter Palace) just missed the top 10 LEAST FAVORITES (ie. the only Regiment shows I actually dislike): 2014 - Swan Lake (I hated this show SOOOO much...Flames....Flames, on the side of my face...) 2017 - Phantasm (I really thought Wes Cartwright would be a great fit for Regiment....boy, was I wrong!) Dishonorable Mention: The witch puppet monstrosity from 2013 (I really liked the rest of the show, though) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 2008 you had to be there 2006 could include their run from 2005-2008, dancing pentagram for the win 1996 what a horn line, music book 1982 maybe I do have a thing for gladiators 1979 Marching warm up and one of my favorite music books HM 89, 91, 93, 94, 95, 03,05, 07 Least favorite 1986 devoid of color musically and visually, looked 10 years out of date 1999 already covered 2015, 2016 and 2017; intrigued me as it was different and when I got the CD listened to them a bit until all the horn stick outs from the amps compelled me to buy Finlandia and I realized I like the source music so shelfed their version. I hope they can turn the trend around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
