Wasn't 2002 the year that Phantom came down with food poisoning just before their finals performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took 5th at the DCI Southwestern Regional in San Antonio and were neck and neck with Phantom until late season. Something happened after that. Perhaps the show plateaued...not sure. They started the season HOT. And that percussion section was excellent once again. Absolutely loved the Glassmen Flugelhorn soloist (it was the same performer from the 2001 show). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess for some reason I thought they were Div I (aka World Class). Someone remind me of what the deal was here. Also, was this the only year Seattle Cascades made top 12? Loved Magic's show - remember the tenor player going down at the 1:20 mark (30 yard line) and the audience reaction to his recovery (1:40 mark).

I saw Magic Wed-Saturday.....Wednesday was their best run. I am telling you at D2/3 finals they deserved every bit of that 99 on the 2/3 sheets of the day 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was needed because that whole night was very strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I was not there on Wednesday but I saw some of these groups during the season. Stellar year for Div II/III.

Continental Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 2002 Phantom was JD Shaw's first year as arranger. Their drill was not that great, but their guard was quite good. I think Jennifer Leseth (Jennifo?) was still guard caption head in 2002 but I may be wrong. That's a guard you don't want to mess with.

kdaddy Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I was pretty indifferent to JD Shaw's first arrangements for Regiment. But he made up for them every year thereafter. I'd always loved the slow movement from Shosty's Piano Concerto No. 2, and it made for a great ballad.
