It was a genius move to bring back this program. It’s just what the members of PR needed, something with some depth and impact points that’s fun to perform. As a phan, I’m falling in love all over again.
it's a great show, and a great choice to bring it back this year. I am, however, hoping that Phantom will, in 2022, do the show they were planning for 2020: Mahler's 5th.
My God....the audience reaction at the 1:13 hit will be stupendous. if they pull this off, they'll get the best reaction since hearing BD in 2nd place in 08.
@@mickeygijzen5847 Oh, no shit! I'm a Blue Devil first and foremost, but if I could be about 40 years younger and march a corps this season, it would be Regiment because of this show.
When I went to the US Naval Academy in 1970, I was invited to join their drum corps. I had never even heard of drum corps before then but fell in love with performing there. The Naval Academy has the nation's oldest, continuously active drum corps and the tradition is strong. We had some DCI performers in the corps but most had never played the bugle before. I played soprano. After many, many shows parades, concerts, and traditional military duties for buglers, I graduated in 1974. Our corps commander marched with the Yankee Rebels and I was hooked on drum corps performances. Since graduating, Phantom has become my favorite corps. Your musicality and showmanship are simply awesome. When I saw the video announcing the new season and the return of Harmonic Journey, I was ecstatic. And this preview confirms the expectations. I hope to catch a show sometime before Indianapolis, but will be pulling for y'all. Give 'em hell, Regiment!
9:18 is where I lost it. Sounds great for early season! Keep cleaning it up….you guys bring so much emotion to the field! In this era of drum corps…I enjoy the emotional grab from PR! From my introduction to the corps by way of A Defiant Heart to today, I am Phorever a Phan
I would LOVE for four more counts of battery break to build into that moment. Feels a bit rushed IMO. But my god - Lucas Oil is going to light UP when that hits!
Few things make me happier than tasty musical arrangements and beautiful poetic expression. Without disappointment, you guys did it again. Harmonic Journey in '21. God bless the Phantom Regiment. We all needed this. Thank you for delivering.
@@jeffgray7922 yup. I'm actually really excited to see the corps' finished products this year since there isn't any competition. Crown's performance was such a refresher, and with no judging, we'll see a lot of stuff like bigger guards, interesting battery sizes, and probably more electronics and such. This year is for the fans and the players more than anything, and I'm stoked.
Thanks for posting this. Can't wait to see you on August 1. I must say I am so pleased you kept the iconic 2003 show nearly intact with just minor updates and improvements. I love this style of show. Can't wait to see what the guard and drill will do for it.
They have been in camp in my town and watching them a few times a week, it is amazing how much better they get day after day after day. They are working super hard and that work is starting to really show. I'm sad we only have them for 4 more days, but I can't wait to see them again in Indy.
Holy fuck this sounds fantastic. Ferg did so well with the drum book I feel, he didn’t over-do it but he gave some nods to Paul Rennick’s iconic book. Hat is wayyyy off to Phantom on this one. I was iffy when they announced this show and I gotta say, they absolutely knocked this out of the park. SUTA.
commenting really quickly since this vid got me into drum corps again after spending 6 months in the USAF back in 2021, and now here i am after aging out with the 2023 Boston Crusaders! thank you, phantom
@@guitarmansegovia Oh don't get me wrong I absolutely love this. It's just that everytime I hear that closer I keep thinking of those percussion hits and when they're not there... I just need to get used to it
A lot of ensemble demand in this show. The conductor does an excellent job holding things together. A great music educational experience for the members.
Again, so excited to have Phantom back this year. I agree with the other posters. Perhaps other than a Defiant Heart, Harmonic Journey is a signature show with the signature phantom sound. Also, KUDOS to the drum major...I was mesmerized by her interpretation and passion in conducting this show. SUTA! I may be biased, but 40 years later, Phantom is the premium classical story teller of DCI!
@sdjazman Yes you ae biased, but that is OK, but just for a start I would argue that SCV knows how to tell a pretty good story on the field as well. I will just stop there as we all have the right to love the corps we love.
Do you realize, it's 18 YEARS LATER and this show is still AMAZING!!! The music is everlasting. Can we acknowledge "Harmonic Journey" as one of the most legendary shows in DCI? Love love love from Indonesia
So I watched this video yesterday and it made me teary pretty much all the way through and gave me goosebumps. Then a video popped up on my feed from 2003 and it’s the same show 😅. I saw y’all for the first time in Denton Texas my freshman year of high school preforming I Am Joan. Can’t wait to see you guys preform soon and go Phantom!!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I still remember getting misty-eyed with joy seeing the debut performance of this show in 2003 and I think this has the potential to be just as good of a production. Good luck this season!
That was amazing!! I watched it on my flat screen TV and It honestly gave me goosebumps and I did not have a dry eye at the end. I can’t wait to see your full show in action Phantom Regiment. I’m still in awe.
I WAS AT THIS IM SO GLAD TO MEET ALL THE 2nd TRUMPETS. I’m known as corn hater cause I don’t like corn and every body in the regiment was laughing and they loved it.
I bet the kids do too LOL. Back in the day I remember housing/rehearsal sites with access to convenience stores or fast food chains being heavenly. Especially if you had just enough time to score some road snacks before the busses pulled away. Also, they usually had payphones too. Now get off my lawn!
Anyone who has been around this activity for any length of time knows that Brandt Crocker, while he loves and appreciates each corps for who they are in their own unique identity, he adores Phantom with a love for the ages. His heart must be so full as he watches this show unfold to what it will become. "On the field, from Rockford/Loves Park, Illinois....to perform their 2021 Program Harmonic Journey, please welcome to the field, Phhhhaaaantommm Rrrregiment! Are the judges ready? Drum major Claire Wilcox, is your corps ready? Phantom Regiment, you may take the field, for competition." POV....You just heard his voice when you read that.
@@jeffgray7922 Oh absolutely yes. I'm aware. My comment was pure selfish, vicarious fantasy, hopefully equally felt by my brothers and sisters, students and teachers in this wonderful activity.
Amen to that! That's EXACTLY what I was afraid was going to happen when I heard the show announcement. This show is great as it is. Let's hope they don't "modernize" it any more than they already have.
The percussion rewrites take me out of it. That book was iconic. Like 9:54 at the top of those horn hits, seriously no SHOT SHOT SHOT? That was an absolutely classic moment.
If I was asked to describe Phantom in one word, that word would have to be consistency. No other one word could do it for me. they've been one of my favorites since I first saw DCI finals in 1979.
9:17 ! its too soon! Im taking a breath, Im rising to my feet, Im ready to scream and... the corps has already played the big hit I cant say no wait! or hit rewind, its like the kids in the big Buick said cmon, hop in! and then they roared off laughing before I could get there.
I can imagine the announcer saying at the opener: "After 18 years... the Journey Returns... Performing their 2021 Program, 'Harmonic Journey: Remake', Drum Corp International is proud to present: Phantom Regiment!"

Wonderful drum major. She actually knows how to conduct!!
She’s become a true Regiment conducting legend!
@@guitarmansegovia I used to teach conducting at a major music school. I know what I’m talking about. Good for her!!!
pr: full corps run
guard: am i a joke to you?
all jokes aside i love this show
Was I transported back to a alternate 2003? Holy crap! The impacts where I expect them and better than 2003? You've got me sold!
I messaged one of the current Buick’s and told him this may well rival 2003 for being on my most played piece in my library.
THE REGIMENT SOUND IS BACK!!!
so is some of their OG staff
we’re here baby. this is the year.
I just hope their vis can hold up because for the past couple years it hasnt been the besy
I actually met them a couple of days ago when they were in Indiana.
Most powerful phantom hornline in years

I can’t explain how upset I am that I won’t get to see this live. I wish they had done just one southern show for dci.
Agreed. I’m going to the Round Rock TX show and I’m just grateful to get to see SOME dci this year
This is a top 5 show! Sounds great so early, doing justice to my favorite PR show.

AND I just realized that this is just the music --- wait until you see the DRILL! A great mix of '03 features and more modern drill.
Excited about this show...lot's of potential!!! Sounds like more cleaning needs to be done, but hell after Covid props to the kids and the staff!!!!
This is a TOUGH book, Im impressed at how well they’re pulling it off with such little time

holy shit they’re back. phantom is back guys.
This hornline knows how to rev the motor! Looking forward to seeing this in August.
I think we need to recognize the drum major...she was in total control of that run-a-away freight train!!! Well done everyone!
9:55 Best lick of the show coming from the pit!
My only nit-picking thing would be to bring back the 2003 percussion book when they get to like 10:04. Just smash those cymbals and drums for me
I could pick some nits too....intonation issues mostly, but why? It'll get there and I can't wait to enjoy the ride.
@@michaelmeyer2725 exactly. Can’t we just enjoy drum corps being back, and appreciate how these performers are enjoying playing this show?

Such energy. Thanks for sharing.
I got to see this show in person last night and let me just tell you - IT IS INCREDIBLE!!! So glad you are back #phanforlife
Thank you for not ruining The Lord's Prayer with a ridiculous amount of bells and chimes at the end. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Excelente sonido eramorado de esta banda desde hace 13 años !!
A lot of ensemble demand in this show. The conductor does an excellent job holding things together. A great music educational experience for the members.
I love how the camera shakes a little bit every time there's a big brass hit. DRUM CORPS IS BACK BABYYYYY
Drove the Phantom equipment truck for this tour and what a memory of listening to this show from "Ocean to Ocean"!!!
Awesome..........👏👏👏 2003 is back. Go fight Regiment.........💪
Man! After all of the chaos we all been through, I'm glad ya'll slowly making a comeback!!! Yes!!!
8:22 - mellophones, you guys make me so happy!
Honestly the drum major is a baddie

never thought i would get goosebumps to canon in d. great job
Holy moly!!!!
Give um hell Phantom. 2008 potential!!!!!

I’m a diehard mello Phan, and I have to agree: the Buick’s are fire, too!
So glad this show is back!!! Who is the drum major? She’s one of the best I’ve seen.

YES YES YES!! Phantom 2021!
Phantom is showing people that new uniform trends and stage theatrics are no substitute for great music and marching
If they wear their original uniforms it will be the cherry on top
It's last year's uniform but with shakos.
9:55 *marimba magic*
Are the performances this year just performances, or is there still a competitive season?
And just like that, it's 2003 again. I almost feel 18 years younger.
This is going to be craaaazy by finals
