What a difference a few changes make! The addition of the drum major death totally changed the overall effect of the program. All of the pieces of a championship show are there, but specifically the closer and the pre-show felt almost anti-climactic compared to what it ended up being. Might just be hindsight. Awesome view!
This was an absolute gem of a show. One of my top 5 ALL TIME GREATS! I have always found it difficult to judge shows from different decades because I try to be fair to each decade in terms of what was allowed, what the style was, where the activity was at that given time, etc. But this show is timeless. Once Phantom put the new ending in with the DM being slayed during the revolt the show took on even greater impact. Phantom Regiment 2008 and their Spartacus production will forever live as one of the great, almost perfect shows of its time and perhaps one of the greatest of any decade. Truly a TIMELESS CLASSIC!
Thank you, Jonathon! 2008 was an incredible season for us as videographers. We knew early on that we were capturing amazing moments but had no idea of the impact all the corps brought to the field that year. So much more has been documented, and we plan to release more.
No electronics or amps, no quadraphonics in the drill, LACK OF PROPS, low POSTURAL VOCABULARY. 12th place in 2024. jk, but yeah, how far the activity has fallen from this great height.

Truth. And I know it didn't effect the final scoring, but dragging the "dead" Major to the awards presentation was brilliant and hilarious.
Best show of all-time.
Yes
Into the Light would like a word
