Based on J.D.'s comments it sounds like shows will stray from the older classical to a more modern sound yet still keep Regiment's unique "sound" intact.

Good. There's nothing in the world quite like having Phantom melt your face off with that distinct sound.

It just seems like yesterday when I suggested Phantom move to more modern classical.  I got a little bit of flack for that, but I am pleased to see Phantom decided to go a step above.  I believe this is the gateway to a massive increase in available musical options compared to the rehashed classical of the past. This will rejuvenate the corp to Championship caliber.

This is all that comes to mind when I hear someone say modern classical music.

A few things:
- "The Neon Philharmonic Orchestra" is an incredible name.
- If Tchaikovsky wasn't already dead, that first tune would've killed him.
- Kind of sounds like a ride cymbal in Dvorak's 9th... 👀

Not public, but if you'd like to watch the designers talk about the show, here's the Phan-a-thon replay. You'll have to skip around to find them in the 7 hour production.

Thank you for posting that! I caught the key moments but could not watch the entire production like in previous years.

Saved to my private archives for anytime enjoyment...

You can do it.  I did after 22 years. I actually think I was a more thoughtful player in the 2000’s than I was in the 70’s.

Let’s hope so! I’m pretty rusty at reading music now too. It’s been a long time, LOL.

Any news from Spring Training? Inquiring minds need to know.

Made the trip this afternoon  to Phantom's Spring Training site at Eastern Illinois University.  Caught the four hour  rehearsal block with the entire ensemble.   Concert side stands are high enough that everyone  was in the shade the entire rehearsal which was nice since is has been sunny and hot since the corps arrived.   All sections appear to be strong and putting in the work.  One tuba sitting out probably due to injury otherwise corps full.  Killer battery and brass as good as expected.  At the end if the day it comes done to has the Design Team given the members the right show?  Ten more days in Charleston IL  the a few days in Evansville then home to Rockford for Music in The Park and then the season starts.
