GO SEE A DRUM CORPS SHOW

<< < (2/3) > >>

Will:
It's been a while since I've been really into DCI shit, is Phantom Regiment still intimidating as all fuck? I saw them in the fall of 2000 at the Veterans Stadium in Erie, PA...during their on-field warmup, they were so loud that the lid on my cup of soda was rattling.

Incidentally, Phantom Regiment of the mid-late 90's has two of my favorite performances ever...I believe it was in '95 that they had a show based on the music of Sergei Rachmaninoff, and '96 was based on Shostakovich? Or the other way around, either way it was kick ass.

IronOxide:
Last year Phantom Regiment actually put on one of the most powerful shows I've ever seen based on the story of Spartacus and took first place from the Blue Devils by a fraction of a point. The climax came with one drum major charging from backfield and stabbing the front 'evil' drum major with a nine foot spear, and then conducted the rest of the show with a foot on his body.

In other words, yes.

Will:
I will be Youtubing that shortly...thanks!

Still don't think anyone will ever truly top the '89 Santa Clara Vanguard show based on Phantom of the Opera. I know someone has since broken their high score record, but that show still stands in my opinion as the benchmark performance against which all other shows should be judged.

Yayniall:
What is this?
Some sort of militant youth movement?

SirJuggles:
I was gonna say "oh yeah, drumcorp, just like my high school days." But holy freakin crap I do not even know what to say to that. This makes me miss those performances so much. I have to find one near me...
