2003 Phantom Regiment Semifinals Recording

[@rickc-1898]

If you marched/played/had anything to do with the production of this show, thank you for producing one of the most beautiful things on the planet in my opinion.

[@tmmyboy124]

Thank you

I had marched the 3 previous years but this particular season we received a LOT of phan mail. Most were from people telling us our show brought them to tears. A gentleman wrote us saying he almost missed the show because his brother's funeral was the same day. He heard Amazing Grace two or three times throughout the day and was able to not cry at all. He thought his brother would have wanted him to go to the show so he went. We played Amazing Grace as our encore and he said he just broke down in tears. "You got me!" It was truly humbling to witness people in the stands wiping away tears because of how much they were impacted by our performance. What an incredible summer that was. SUTA !!

[@guitarmansegovia]

I want that audio...

[@timbrandt]

I want to the members of the corps to get to have this experience, again. This is the experience I wanted when I marched the corps, and I know how it feels to come up short. You guys were amazing!

[@danielwdunn]

One of the best moments of my life was seeing this show live in Orlando at finals. Thanks.

[@eddierh523]

PhanRegSop this is my favorite show of all time, I still remember when you guys came to California and stayed at my high school at the time in Anaheim I would watch the corps rehearse all day it was pretty amazing

[@eagle6754]

Understand that PR had great shows, especially 1996 and 2008, but my ultimate PR shows are 2003 "Harmonic Journey" and 2010 "Into the Light". Awesome!!!!

[@TheBandGeek33]

Eagle 6 into the light is HIGHLY underrated.

[@fatherexodus7688]

Into the light stole my heart

[@waynestephens6505]

Just saw this post. I competed in drum corps in 1975 and 1976 with Guardsmen also from Illinois. Guardsmen folded years ago. I then adopted Phantom as my favorite. Guardsmen made finals in 1976 for the first time. A cool memory of Phantom Regiment is in 1975. We were warming up in a high school room before the show. Phantom was outside warming up. Man, I heard that horn power from them through the wall! Phantom in the reason I love classical music to this day. Thanks for being in the great Phantom Regiment! SUTA! 🎉😊❤

[@davetron3030]

still in my opinion the greatest closer in history

[@eagle6754]

...and opener, too!

[@drumcorps0junkie]

+Eagle 6 hell 😎 yeah

[@igotmybackscratched1961]

I have listened to this 1,000 times. Ending still gives me goosebumps and makes me wanna tear up because of the pure beauty in this show.

[@drumcorps0junkie]

🎵 😎 That's EXACTLY how I feel! 😎 🎵

[@lobsterpokemon1376]

This video is such a cool view into that season from a member perspective. I recently marched this summer and was so excited to see many old traditions that have stayed and which ones have changed

[@PhanRegSop]

I absolutely loved the show this year. Congrats on a wonderful season.

[@PhanRegSop]

Rain delays throughout warm-up and just plain over-excitement. Semis was very emotional for all of us so we performed at our peak.

[@duranmclemore8392]

play this at my funeral

[@chefboyardeesnuts277]

This show never gets old! I can only imagine the joy the musicians felt every time they performed.

[@drumcorps0junkie]

🎶 👌 bro 👌 🎶

[@theonlybenjohnson]

16 years later, still holds up. The only reason I want a time machine, take me back.

[@theonlybenjohnson]

@DECLAN DOUGAN There is nothing that compares to the energy and electricity of the live performance. A KZbin recording will have to suffice... 😌

[@theonlybenjohnson]

@DECLAN DOUGAN Its big shoes to fill. I'm excited, but we will see 😉

[@steventeleky3350]

I love the pictures from Rockford College and Bowling Night. I was only with the Regiment for a year, but man, best summer of my life. SUTA.

[@bigmike74]

I listen to this show every morning with my beaver 😻😻

[@rickc-1898]

I am borderline obsessed with this show....just saying. 6 years out, and it still gives me goosebumps, still brings tears to my eyes. I feel like I am flying every time I hear that final blast. Just wow... Wow wow wow.

[@carolinej5420]

why have sex when you can just listen to the opener for the same results

[@G5xgajsjY793]

Why not both? At the same time??

[@marchingpackofCeHS]

+AdrianTheHusky dont get crazy now, that could open a black hole.

[@xXEpicMehXx]

or a pink one, let's not discriminate

[@Lexieidk]

coda well you're not wrong

[@showb4theshow]

Is there actually anyone that can handle that? lol

[@dexlouise]

That is without a doubt the most amazing thing I have ever heard in my life.

[@alexperlroth2052]

No doubt my favorite show. The closer always makes me smile no matter how many times I listen to it

[@jenniestevens7899]

2006 FAUST!!!

[@mmmbetter55]

I'll never forget seeing this show at the Crew Stadium in Columbus, the summer before my senior year in High School. It changed my life, changed how I listened to music.

[@zachneal13]

This is the greatest show I have ever seen. #mellos

[@julieh7633]

for my freshman year of marching band we played canon in d as part of our opener and the music is just so beautiful yet powerful. listening to this recording makes me burst into tears from the beauty of the music and nostalgia from performing my favorite marching band show ever.

[@danhoblify]

My favorite show of all time. I have no words. God bless you all for giving us phans the gift of this show. It will live forever.

[@OldMoneyAudition09]

Just a show banking on great playing, marching, emotion, and intensity. No microphones required.

[@leland8021]

The ninelet a little after 4:11 leading into the snare solo is easily my favorite part of this whole show. Not sure if Paul Rennick was writing for them this year, easy google search but I'm lazy, but this screams Rennick. Goosebumps.

[@pengua5069]

I'm pretty sure this was his first or second year at phantom

[@PhanRegSop]

@@pengua5069correct, his first.

[@ericjohnson3783]

not really a big marching band fan but this shit is dope

[@PhanRegSop]

hell ya, man. it's even better live. they go on tour next week, see if you can make any of their performances - www.dci.org

[@drumcorps0junkie]

😎

[@aidantoner8416]

I haven’t listened to this in 2 years and it still has my heart one of greatest shows still to this day

[@vtownhood]

Technically the first song they played is "Sanctus". It has all the same notes. I'd have to agree that the final part was Canon in D though.

[@KlldbyCuriosity]

Leagues upon leagues better than finals. This is how Harmonic Journey should sound.

[@kjedfjefaf]

Wow.. Very, very, VERY nice job putting that video together! Ya, there's no disputing that being able to re-experience that entire Friday night performance would have been amazing, ( There used to be a time for that and SO many other great moments through the years.. thx DCI.org for discontinuing the "Fan Zone".. ) but due to your hard work you've given us a taste of how incredibly cool that 2003 summer must have been, " Behind the Scenes ". Thank You! PfB~

[@PhanRegSop]

😎it was pretty rad on and off the field. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻

[@shariqarain]

Oh what I would give to see/hear this show live...

[@steveanderson7861]

I’ve listened to this a number of times but never really looked at the pics. First, nice work on changing the pics on the downbeats. Second, this is the first time I’ve noticed Vaaaaaan Halen. I’ll now never be able to unhear that. Thanks. ☺️

[@brandonlocke1676]

It's a reference to a visual in the show. The hornline holds their legs up for a beat when it says that. It's not really a focus of the finals vid.

[@dfa3366]

Such a beautiful sounding show. Saw then in California. The beginning was so incredible.

[@bertxblitzkrieg]

Mmm, that first big hit gets me every time. I first heard a recording of this 3 years before I started marching band in 2006 when my older brother brought it home on a CD someone had burned. Hard to believe that recording is from over half my life ago.

[@TimAndyMik]

Anyone know who arranged percussion that year? Those glistening, shimmering bells and glocks at the closer was such an amazing call....never heard anything like this before or since....

[@PhanRegSop]

novisibersk that’s Paul and Sandy Rennick’s writing

[@MS-df2fk]

Very cool video, thanks for posting. Love all the tour pictures. I marched for six years in DCI and we stayed at a lot of questionable housing sites, but we never got the opportunity to have floor time on a tennis court! It's those kind of things that make this activity so unique and awesome :)

[@PhanRegSop]

lol it sure made our California tour memorable. The gym that we were supposed to be in was occupied with some kind of volleyball camp I think, and the buses were turned off, so they became very hot once the sun came up, so we chose the court.

[@catherinewarren4423]

I play this show with headphones on my belly for my son :) He loves it

[@adrianmcneil584]

89, 96, and 03.

[@PhanRegSop]

I'll add 91, 93 and 08 to that notion.

[@KiranSundarkdog97]

PhanRegSop I thought '07 was awesome too!

[@dougfunk1667]

I'd like to add 92, '95, '11, not the best years, but still some fantastic shows!

[@drumcorps0junkie]

+Douglas Funk !!!06 was the 💩!!! 🔥 🎺

[@dougfunk1667]

drumcorps0junkie yeah man, 06 was a hot show too! No disagreement there

[@samrshelley]

I can't believe how much better this is than finals. Tuning is miles better here than on finals. Were finals hotter/colder than expected?

[@scottburka8885]

samrshelley big rain storm pushed a 2 hour gap between crossmen and Madison - we hid on buses to stay out of the rain- - was a crazy late finish- most of our warmups were condensed at the end

[@austinresing]

Listening to this never gets old!

[@ok-sh9xp]

I've watched this I don't know how many times and I just realized they're telling SUTA.

[@aveafterdarkk]

who would’ve thought i’d be crying at 12:12 am about a 12 minute dci show

[@PhanRegSop]

avery grace what made you tear up?

[@aveafterdarkk]

PhanRegSop the opening hit :,)

[@dexlouise]

Phavorite show ever!

[@wi11yd.o.p.edrummer47]

My band director marched tuba in the show

[@mamascookin]

Wow

[@TheAbfromNJ]

My favorite DCI music ever I think

[@rmartinc]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[@mckennawalker1655]

Playing part of this as our closer this year

[@allycat07271]

My marching show's music is inspired by this beautiful show

[@jake9096]

《ally archer》 if you wanna see the show in like a marching band style search up “Martin High School Band 2005”

[@brown55061]

Scores aside, still my favorite show!

[@KlldbyCuriosity]

brown55061 The tuning in finals really hurt their scores

[@samsignorelli]

11:12....heh. The Pacific Palisades parade where we (SoCal Dream....I was the DM) sat on our busses and watched the entire Regiment corps RUN when a horse standing near them let loose with a TORRENT of piss!

[@PhanRegSop]

sam signorelli that’s hilarious

[@samsignorelli]

@@PhanRegSop Oh...it gets better. After you guys had bailed, we saw some civvies walking down the sidewalk (we were STILL looking for parking forr the bus), and they walked right through it...one lady was in BARE FEET! We were HOWLING,,,,and my sides hurt from the laughing.

[@steveanderson7861]

These are the stories we need to hear. That’s hilarious.

[@samsignorelli]

@@steveanderson7861 As I recall, both Dream and Regiment had done the Huntington Beach parade earlier that day (4th of July parades). Somehow, Dream BEAT Regiment at HB...I STILL have no idea how THAT happened! I think I ended up winning DM at PP, if only because we got stalled by a float in front of us just as I reached the salute line. I;m a veteran, and I knew that protocol was to render the salute about 6 steps away from who/what you were rendering it to....also that you held it for 6 steps after if it was a designated point like a line on the ground. So there I am, marking time AT the line, holding the salute...and the judges were obviously older vets themselves, because I saw them nodding in approval! Close to the end of the route, we were stopped (in the shade, thankfully!) and a local tv reporter did a small feature on us...and had clearly not stood next to someone calling a group to attention who knew how to project. I think I scared her out of a few years!

[@patrickfearon7942]

I marched for Magic of Orlando that year, I still remember the first show we did with you guys out in Colorado. Stopped me in my tracks, what a show, what a year. Sometimes I listen to it to take me back. Ps. What does SUTA mean? Or is that a Phantom secret?

[@PhanRegSop]

Patrick Fearon thanks for sharing ☺️ SUTA is an acronym for shove it up their @$$!!! Actually, no, it’s not, but it’s fun to think about 😂 it’s a secret.

[@elipseplays3579]

My high schools competition piece uses some of this show this year and we’re playing that euph. feature at 8:57. Gotta say it’s a hard part for a freshman to learn, (coming from 2 years of concert band on trombone) but this show is amazing and I look forward to playing it on the competition field.

[@PhanRegSop]

try playing it slowly with your opposite hand, once you can get it down a bit faster, with the correct articulation, go back to your normal position. Have great season!

[@elipseplays3579]

PhanRegSop Thanks! I think I’m starting to get it down. :D

[@E-Naut]

We need some of that 05 action if you’re able to upload that, such a jazzy feel that year 😊

[@jayseven6089]

the mellophone part at 1:11 gets me everytime

[@cgordon7689]

Shout out to the Mormon temple at 10:57

[@cameronpage9064]

Won't ever happen due to DCI copyright. I'm amazed this hasn't been yanked already.
