New Zealand Girl Reacts to PHANTOM REGIMENT 2010 - INTO THE LIGHT

[@jimodonnell3253]

Courtney, this show was the brainchild of Myron Rosander, a legendary designer who worked mostly for the Santa Clara Vanguard, but had retired due to health issues. The director of the Phantom Regiment had once been the director of the Santa Clara Vanguard and knew Myron well. Myron decided to come out of retirement for one year to put this show together. It is an intensely emotional portrayal of the journey of life, and a somewhat autobiographical creation by a man who knew he was probably going to die within a matter of years from his disease. The soloist is a spirit guide for the newborn child (hence the tunnel entrance). The white uniforms of the corps represent the soul that becomes the new person. The guard can be understood to represent angels, excited by the call into life of this soul, accompanying the person during the journey of life. The drill moves from the bottom left to the upper right, a lifelong ascendancy toward Heaven. The corps' laying down is the sleep of old age, and the final fanfare is the realization and reflection of a life lived well and full, with the symbol of the Phantom Regiment representing that arrowhead pointed to Heaven (this ties together all the archery motifs seen in the body motion throughout the show). The final exit into the tunnel (a reference to the tunnel of light experience so often cited in near death experiences) leaves the spirit guide on the field calling the audience to join in the journey of life, and the final chords emanating from the tunnel is a call from the soul affirming that the journey is worth the reward of the next step in the journey, the afterlife. www.dci.org/static/myron-rosander

Whoa this contextualizes the show so well! This is so cool, thanks for sharing :) I knew Myron had some health issues but I had no idea about the rest of it. No wonder I get so many goosebumps from this show!

This show has such meaning. I drive for Phantom since 2012... this show? Was the brain child of a designer who has sadly passed on...and EVERYONE who was involved in this show still chokes up talking about this year... This show is so under appreciated. Passion. Power. Beauty. I love this show so much. Thanks for doing this. I am so lucky to be a part of not only Phantom since 2012...but drum corps since 1982...

[@bw6480]

Saw this show at finals in person, and I have to say, this one really gets captured pretty thoroughly in the video. This, to me, is one of the few shows that 'wears well' - I can watch it time and time again, and it never gets old. And if you listen carefully (like, with good headphones), you can just feel the intricacy of the music - horns, battery, and that pit! Whoa. It's like I seem to understand what they're trying to convey a little better with each viewing. Truly an amazing show and story, from beginning to end. They literally tell a life story in 11 minutes! THIS - This is where I want Phantom to be, don't care where they place (except that I want them to be in finals!). Bravo!

[@jayseven6089]

I was at finals this year as I was teaching an open class corps. I saw this performance live and I cried... balled my eyes out.

They should be coming back a little bit because JD Shaw has returned after several excellent years at Santa Clara. It's a shame the Rennicks didn't join him, though.

I found this show brought out some strange emotions I didnt know existed in me personally. I found it wonderful, and for some reason, sad, at the same time. Never experienced those emotions in conflict before. That folks is the mark of a show well worth the time to watch.

You're feeling the heart and soul of the Phantom Regiment.

[@robertwilloughby1917]

That final chord from the tunnel (or heaven depending on your view) sends me over the edge. Such a nicer ending for the angel in gold than in 2008 ! Phantoms most beautiful show😇

[@davidjack7418]

Oh Courtney, we could be besties after this video! My two favorite corps are Phantom Regiment and Carolina Crown for many of the same reasons that you like them. Phantom caught my heart when I saw my first DCI show, which just so happened to be the DCI finals in 1996 (where they tied for first). Each corps has their own identity as you've learned, but what I appreciate about Phantom is their respect for a certain amount of decorum and their repertoire choices. They often pick a lot more classical, orchestral pieces and composers. They also pick a lot of Russian composers which complements what used to be their all-black uniforms. A lot of classical Russian composers had darker, more somber themes than the typical American style at the time which included a lot of fanfare. If Carolina Crown is the bombastic entrance then Phantom Regiment is the funeral dirge. Perhaps less optimism, but more reflection. The story of the end is just as the story of a beginning. I have great respect for both corps and they still remain my two favorite. Fun fact: At 12:04 their formation is a chevron, which is the emblem for Phantom Regiment. They don't often make this formation, so it's exciting to see when they do.

[@whymethough2701]

This was the first dci show to make me cry. It's been my favorite for years now. I was introduced to The New Moon in the Old Moon's Arms through this show and its still my favorite piece of music to this day.

[@sydney4911]

This was an absolutely beautiful show. So classy from start to finish. (Phantom Regiment class of 1973 .... I'm getting old).

[@E-Naut]

At 12:04 they made their logo which is a chevron. To me that was one of the most powerful hits in the show.

[@hypertx]

Courtney really needs an over-the-ear headphone sponsor. There is no way a pair of chorded apple earbuds are doing any of these DCI videos any justice. How do we make this happen?!

[@jimingram9468]

Absolutely right. The full impact is much better with a full headphone.

For a good number of years, the Regiment had their Summer practice at the university I then worked at. My apartment was about five miles away. One random evening I was just hanging out on my balcony. It was one of those quiet nights you get in the summer... I couldn't even hear the highway nearby. And then as I stood there, quietly but perfectly audible came the music of this show. From five miles away. I can't tell you how it happened, or what freak of atmospheric conditions played a part, I can only say it hasn't happened before or since. My next door neighbor came out onto her balcony and said hi... to which I said "sssssssh... listen!" After it ended she asked me what the heck that was... she was new to the area and had never heard of the Regiment. In a movie, we'd go see them perform, fall in love and get married, all to the music of "Into the Light." Nah, life isnt a movie... but she became a fan of Phantom Regiment, so that's good too.

[@joelwise2001]

This an absolutely beautiful show. Drums kick ass!

[@rbbbc132]

This is one of my top most underrated shows in DCI. The beauty of this show is unmatched.

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

I really had a chance to listen to the battery, I was blown away on how much the bass line was doubling the snare line, so well executed and the snare line and tenors almost sounded like a single section. High drums was well deserved. The Corps members put their hearts and souls into this performance and it radiates out to the audience so intensely that 11 years later we are all still having an emotional reaction watching Phantom relay this story we all experience, Life

[@kevinarechavala9734]

The only DCI show to this day that has made me cry like a baby. The first time I saw them running out of the tunnel at the end I just completely lost it and I can't even explain why. It seems like I'm not the only one who has been rendered speechless after watching it. It's just absolutely transcendent.

[@randallsego2940]

I cried so hard watching it live at DCI Atlanta. It's one of my 5 all-time favorite shows.

The music is The New Moon in the Old Moon's Arms by Michael Kaman. It is his masterpiece based on the ancient Pueblo culture who observed the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. It is a very emotional piece.

[@fireantsarestrange]

I would also like to add. This show was born and died in 12 min. They come in from the one tunnel and leave through the other. So in so to speak. They were born into the light and left into the light. Which is to me an analogy of life. Even though this was a totally original piece of music. My favorite show of the that year. Thousands of hours of practice. That is why it's good.

[@EuphAsta]

She should definitely watch Crown 2017. Personally I'm wondering if she'll recognize the hammer drop she already heard, but in general 2017 is such a good show that doesn't get the love it deserves I feel

Hands down, this was the most beautiful thing on the field in 2010. I've long tried to figure out why this show didn't place higher. The only thing I can point to is that the latter half of the show is a bit clunky in terms of design, particularly relative to the opener, which is on the short list of the best openers Phantom has ever put on the field. This ended up being the Rennicks' swan song with Phantom, as they would leave after 2010 for Vanguard. One year later, Vanguard then poached JD Shaw, Phantom's longtime brass arranger.
