Continental Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I hope Phantom keeps close to this uniform next year. It's perfect. It represents them so well. It was only recently that I noticed the chevron design incorporated in the back half of the semi-baldric. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to listen to how their hornline progressed through the late '70s. The difference between ‘78 and ‘79 is astounding! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives even greater prospective. Suta, you were there during those years when that hornline kept getting better and better and better. You were there when the corps went from entering DCI to being 2nd place. Yes, '79 was something. But the tone, quality, musicianship leading up to that is astounding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank Jim Wren and his trusty StroboTuner for our intonation! That was a novel concept back then.

You were there before Phantom was a force, and you were there when Phantom became a force. You have supported your corps through your membership et al, and you kept volunteering after you aged out. For many years up until now. You are a true Phan. I sincerely hope that those paying attention know that when you have experienced being a part of the organization, it remains part of you. Phantom benefits from people like you. Who do not forget. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many posters on DCP who’ve had similar experiences and they are better people for it. The younger posters here are still writing their own drum corps histories and they too will have memories to look back on and be thankful for. Let’s not forget this is the tie that binds us all…..drum corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
