MadisonBandMan1 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I got to watch the tour premier in theaters this year, and I would love do say THANK GOD SHAW IS BACK. Phantom really feels like they are back and have energy again, and it fills my heart with joy. Awesome show and am excited for how it does at the end of the season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started last year with that incredible weekend in Indy, and I'd hoped the momentum would push them forward this year. It clearly has. I'm more excited about DCI than I have been in 10 years as a result. Here's to hoping Madison can begin to make that climb. DCI is so much more complete when Phantom, Madison, Cadets & Cavies are all top-tier competitive and exciting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a technique of building endurance and allowing the less experiences players to begin working on pushing to the max so they can raise the power and control level to that of the best players in the ensemble. Some corps do this differently by keeping volume down and working blend and balance early season. But this sometimes backfires because the younger or less experienced players are not challenged early enough, especially while they are moving on the field, to breath and push the way they will need to later on. I am sure that throughout the winter and spring camps Phantom was working proper breathing, tuning, control, balance, and blend techniques. But in performance I like the more aggressive approach the staff have taken. This will pay BIG dividends in a few weeks. Did they deserve 6th in brass? No, not when I factor in achievement vs content or composition, but they were out of tune and sloppy. So they were not going to be top 3 at this past show. But this is a brass line to watch out for. They may pass Cavaliers in brass. The Mandarins may do this as well. That is one heck of a brass line. Could Phantom catch up to BD, Bloo, Crown, Boston, and SCV in brass? That might be tough but I would not be shocked if they were a top 6 line by season's end. Percussion is pretty sweet this year too with a very effective book. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power and the air flow needed. Amazing! As this line builds endurance they are just going to thrill audiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss Anova Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I also like how Phantom Regiment this season struck a balance in their attire between the “ modern “ and the “ traditional “ . It’s definitely a modern attire , but retains the look and vibe of Phantom Regiment . Still classy , sophisticated looking , imo 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
