Trumpeter07 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 FAUST IS AMAZING! If you haven't seen it eyt jut got and see it i garuntee it worth your time. The music is the best i've ever heard. EASILY my fav.show ever! Quote
euro_euph06 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 The Godfather, Part Blue is amazing too! Although I like BD '96 (Gangsta Chronicles) and '89 BD. But Phantom's show strike me as a loud show (too much loud and not enough dynamics). They do have a good guard though! Quote
bluebellbrass07 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 OMG I know how you feel! If it werent for band camp i would buy tickets to madison right now just to see them! I am in love with that show. I really dont know if I can wait for that DVD Quote
Claritone Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 My seats at SA where kind of blah, but after watching some clips of their show on youtube I REALLY like it. Quote

Xukaniz Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Well sheesh, since everyone everywhere I have been seems to love this show, maybe I should have a look for myself . Quote
G'townPIT Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 i can hardly find any drum corps shows on limewire, what are you guys using for search words Quote

bluebellbrass07 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Actully I would rather use the APD's and support the corps, however it doesnt work on my computer! But i did donate like 5 bucks to the regiment gas fund so if anyone wants to send me the show thats pretty much the same as buying it... Quote

The dynamics where there and the music was powerful. Especially the ballad, i just can't get past the mellos and trumpets putting their horns down and picking up Baritones. So emotional. All and all still one amazing show! This is a very good year in DCI! Quote

AND they capture the entire visual caption by .15 over the Cavs and 1.4 over PR (at SA)? Just showing you the statistics. Because they disagree with you. Quote

Quote cough*is it on limewire?*cough If you're talking about Faust, no it isn't, because they haven't even released the World Championship Finals DVD yet, let alone have the World Championship occure yet, and all the ones I've found are from those DVD's.

If he was talking about PR, then why did he quote my statement about the Blue Devils? Plus, why would he dog his favorite corps? Just my thoughts... Quote

Especially the ballad, i just can't get past the mellos and trumpets putting their horns down and picking up Baritones. So emotional. Since I havn't seen the shows I don't know which corps it is that the mellophones and trumpets put their horns down and pick up baritones, but which ever one it is, there's your answer. And I have no idea why he would dog his favorite corps, but it's better than him putting it up on a pedestal and saying they're above critisism. Quote

It was Phantom that had the trumpets put their horns down and pick up baritones. It was AMAZING. Also, huge props to the players who are able to do that. Quote
Danpod Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 On the Podcast, I predicted that The Blue Devils new ending would be an omage to the 1996 ending. Reportedly, the new ending will be unveiled in Atlanta tomorrow. I am prepared to do something similar for Phantom Regiment. This may happen just for Finals night but wouldn't it be cool if they Phantom channeled their ending from 1991. "But Daniel, I've never seen that ending." Calm down, friends. I will let you in on it! At the end of Danse Bacchanale, the corps forms this big pod on the right side of the field. During the eight count percussion interlude, just before the big ending chord, the corps actually takes off their helmets and flings them in the air like they just graduated. They hit the chord with their helmets lying motionless across the field. If you watch the video, a couple of horns were actually tossed after the chord!! It was magnificently badass and just one of many badass ways Phantom Regiment can end their 50th Anniversary Show Quote

bluebellbrass07 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Checked the video out on google and its pretty awsome. But I think they will do the traditional leg-kick at the end. At least thats what i think they should do. No recordings of it on limewire yet but plenty of Mahlers 2nd symphony for anyone thats interested. Quote
Aegis Fang Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 yeah, that ending would definitely earn them some cool points =p Quote
MartinHorn Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Speaking of Phantom, do you think there is a possibility for Phantom to get 2nd at the World Championship or, even better, win it? Quote
bluebellbrass07 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I would love for that to happen, and now that I think about it they aren't that far behind Cavies and BD. So it IS possible but I think they are going to really have to step it up in these next few weeks. Quote
