Phantom Regiment 2021 (official edit and authorized release)

As our community stages one of the greatest comebacks in the history of marching arts, we honor the passion, performance, and perseverance of Phantom Regiment by revisiting one of the most beloved productions in our 65-year history.
Interlacing classics from Pachelbel and Bartók with a goosebump-inducing ballad, fans from every decade agree: This is bad-@ss drum corps!

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

[@definitelynotcainan3353]

I am not a Phantom alum, but damnit all to hell if I am not ugly balling at the Canon reprise in the closer... Something about watching a once great corps that spent the last 2-3 competitive seasons getting their asses kicked and sliding towards obscurity... only to then lose a season... to see these kids bring the PHANTOM REGIMENT back to their rightful place.. I mean if that don't get you nothing will! And also, I do sometimes wonder if these kids actually realise what they have done?

[@GeometricMason]

@@soulfur1031 Did they finally get rid of the judges on the field? I always found that to be super distracting.

[@KyleNally]

​​@@GeometricMasonI think so, yes. I'm divided on doing it at all but I do appreciate their reasoning and I can't really argue with it. Safety, for both the judges and the performers. When I marched Madison in 1994 we had a show where our Guard caption head Chad Duggan got us all together to warn us about the presence of a specific, rather large-bodied judge named Jennifer Something. This particular judge was at that time notorious for being unable to get out of the way of traversal to our next set in the drill. He told us that if she was in the way, DO NOT alter course to avoid her but to run her right over and keep going. Fast forward to the midpoint of the opener. We had a big flag sweep low, turn, and present to an upward 45 angle hold. Jenny just so happened to be in the way of my flag. And so I *clocked* her in the sweep, as instructed. Hard. I think I may have nearly knocked her over. It didn't endanger me at all but I know that shit *hurt*. I felt terrible of course, but I didn't have time to show it at all. I'm just glad she wasn't actually injured, and she continued on her judging apparently unscathed. This time. Modern DCI shows are flatly impossible for judges to learn well enough to avoid the performers in the time available to them prior to the performance all the time, every time. The motion is too unexpected, too chaotic, and too unpredictable from ground level if you're not actually performing for anybody who has *not* actually learned the drill to be able to handle in anything like a safe manner. My counterpoint to that is that removing the field judges also removes the only way they have to effectively and fairly judge some elements you can't access from the press box. Technical execution in the field battery line almost must be evaluated by a judge in the drum line's faces. For example, Star 1993 had what I tuink might still be the most *musical* drum line in DCI history; their dynamic range remains in a class of its own even today. That said, some parts of their book we *so* quiet 10:35 you can't hear them anywhere but on the judge's tape. Nobody would know how well those parts were technically executed without that judge on the field making the recording; some of it would have been nearly inaudible from the press box's distance. Even so, judges can't stay out of the way all the time, in every show. My own experience showed me they can be hurt and we really should avoid accidental injury to nonperformers wherever possible.

[@DrumlineArchives]

That golden climax at 9:40 is a gut punch of emotion. I knew it was coming, but I didn't know how hard it was going to hit me personally - it was like a final signal that drum corps is back, and everything is going to be okay. Speaking on behalf of all drum corps fans everywhere - thank you Phantom!

This show just got better and better with each performance. I always thought the '89 show of "New World" couldn't be beat. Then came '92 and "1812 Overture" which technically was a lower score (robbed!), but a beautiful performance nonetheless. '03 was then set as the new bar to beat with the premier of "Harmonic Journey", but the reprise this year... we are all speechless. Bravo, ladies and gentlemen. You did all of your Phanatics proud.

At the last show I went to (Summer 2019), I was just about ready to give up on drum corps. I felt it had evolved into something that might be great for others, but not for me. I didn't know if a "traditional" drum corps could still maintain that style while integrating just enough of the modern approach to remain a contending corps. I happened to see a notification that PR had posted the show and thought, "If anyone can, it has to be Phantom," and clicked over. Boy, am I GLAD I did. What an amazing show. The last 1:30+ of the show I could barely take a breath for fear of spoiling that perfect moment. That finale chord--SUBLIME!! I'm a 54-year-old man, but I'm not ashamed to say I just cried through the end of the performance. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Phantom Regiment. You are the embodiment of what makes drum corps SO special!!

[@ronmcbride2100]

50+ year old "Drum Corps Nut" here as well. I cry like a little baby every time I watch this 2021 performance. You can just feel the intensity & emotion that 'the kids' were giving to their performance. This is what you call leaving it all out on the field. This season needed this show, and Phantom delivered. Wow, just wow.

[@CFLsurfr]

So for me, I was never in band, and for a good portion of my life I didn't know what DCI was, but I do appreciate good music of all sorts of tastes. At 15, I picked up a job at the local Regal Cinemas in Florida , and in those days DCI had a pre-show before the movie started and would show clips of the prior years performances so you'd buy tickets to see the finals live at the theater. I'm not sure if they still do that, but this was the performance, Harmonic Journey, they chose to REALLY showcase and everytime it would get my attention in the projection booth and I'd watch it with the audience that I could see beneath me also intrigued and interested...some even clapped and cheered. It was impactful for me to see it again since it was instantly my favorite performance and what get me into following DCI 20 years ago as a young teen. Thanks PR, I'll always be a lifelong fan. SUTA

I'm from the older time era. I marched with Guardsmen in 75 and 76. Phantom great back then too! The rules were very restrictive then. Much more entertaining when dci in the mid 80's got rid of the tick system. I enjoy modern corps, but I agree that the corps get so prop happy and take away from the members performing. I'm not against props. Phantom uses them in a good way to compliment their shows.

Though most of the crowd was aware of this show, there are probably just as many who haven't and reacted the same way as the one's who have. Phenomenal performance. Think of how much better this would've been had they been working on it as long as their predecessors from 2003.This was clearly the fan favorite of the night. Watching the crowds' reactions to it all was almost as fun as watching the performance. Instead of watching Blue Devils' 2019 finals run in the theatre next spring during the dci in theatres event while the judges are tallying up the scores, I'd much rather watch this run instead. I believe this show is gunna effect the recruitment for Phantom in 2022. side note...I dunno if it's the fact that this is an indoor dome, but the chords come out much clearer than it did in 2003 to the open sky.

[@RatSlayerGaming]

I think it might have to do with 21 years on Bb vs 3 in 03. The refinement in the education, balance and tuning process the last couple of decades has given horn lines a much richer quality than when they first switched

This show is so simple in concept but so universally effective. As much as I love a show that tells a deep story, it’s hard to beat the simple effectiveness of “let us take you on a beautiful musical journey.” Such good musical selections and arrangements. I get chills every time I watch that opener and closer. And good god that closer! Easily one of my favorite movements in marching history. I will be singing it the rest of the day now.

Pre-Covid, Phantom got 12th and looked to be fading. Results like I’m seeing now would’ve never been possible. This show, maybe even this performance, saved Phantom Regiment, and was the start of the resurgence that is happening right now.

[@scottlawson1522]

Think it’d be cool if they could’ve somehow switched to the all whites towards the end, but I can’t imagine logistically how that’d work.

I’ve watched this show like 7 times in the last two days, it’s just amazing. The first time I watched I started crying.

Brilliant. Absolutely unreal. The turn around for this corps was incredible to watch. The de facto champs for the 2021 season imo

[@jakeromain6939]

Just Amazing...

Lots of things give me goosebumps. Nothing has ever given me goosebumps for the length of the final canon hit to the final release, non stop goosebumps. Incredible production.

it's always good to come back to this and put the volume at 100

I supported PhR more in 2020-2021 than ever and will continue to do so. 9:51 when the mids join the battery in marching double time, love it!!! Talk about rising to the occasion! I want to see the interviews with these members to hear their feelings about doing this show, all/any sections.

This Phantom show gives me the goose bumps every time! Truly a signature sound for the Regiment!

[@NatsuDragneel792]

My band director always used this as a warm-up and it brings me to tears that it’s over. I miss it everyday.

[@derNordmann86]

I can't stop crying. This was one of my absolute favorite shows! I just love them! And I think it's so cool that they repeat the show. It's like a dream come true!

Between this and the original 2003 show I've watched the ending a thousand times, and it never fails to give me goosebumps. Harmonic Journey is what made me fall in love with DCI. So cool they got to bring it back this summer.

SUTA 💜

[@kotarofujiwara8486]

I am a woodwind player but I absolutely adore DCI, especially Phantom. And this show just means so much to me, the reason why it is making me want to join the Phantom Regiment :))

[@willrobinson1482]

My primary instrument for most of the time I’ve played music has been/was clarinet, and I marched this show on euph. Anything’s possible man, just gotta practice. A lot 😂

[@JShermanator10]

first SUTA ❤️

[@romankingbhs]

The "SUTA!" before the first hit makes me teary eyed every time
