Photographer Jim Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 always enjoy Phantom shows. Musically, they usually connect with me. Not sure I care much for their uniforms this year (especially the snorkle hats), but otherwise they remain one of my favorite corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdaddy Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Love the battery writing by this group of arrangers. Excellent design team additions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd-student-TTU Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 the grumpy old man rants continue… Felt like SCV. good energy. Visuals are too compact. Guard’s gonna hold them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Phantom is just really solid this year. I see them ahead of Cadets tonight because PR was much cleaner in visual and brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Phantom Regiment - Love the tarps layout - big opening brass hit - very full sound - the year of the great baritone soloist continues with Phantom as well, and trombone too, very aggessive - not sure I like the body moves when they run to the front. They lose some control in brass - this second movement is classic phantom. The chords, the sound, the power - maybe too many body moves in position where the forms become somewhat stagnant in the 3rd movement - percussion did a nice job in that section though. Good writing. Needs cleaned. - Love the use of piano here as they lead into the ballad. The effect of the brass and battery just disappearing into the white tarps is excellent - Nice dynamic contrast as they lead into the big hit. Visually this part of the show is very strong. Clean, easy to focus on what matters, very effective - props moved so effectively as they go into movement 5 by the guard - love those silks, love the company front that eventually wings out. The music is fantastic here. - Tubas sound amazing at the end. - This is one fun show. Not much to complain about. Phantom has definitely brought a fun and engaging show to the field this summer. - To me they may have Cadets beat by 1 point or more tonight. Phantom's visual is much cleaner and easier to read. The show is more polished. This was really the perfect vehicle for Phantom this year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, one could make a pretty decent argument that SCV has just felt like Phantom for the past decade 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them ahead of Cadets tonight because PR was much cleaner in visual and brass. That wouldn't surprise me at all. Cadets learned and focused on a new ending this week. Phantom looks like San Antonio Phantom to me. Not a knock, it's a great show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
