Phantom does an exceptional job of reaching into the heart and soul through music and presentation. If DCI would add a "They just get it" judging category, Phantom would win every time. Thank you to the staff and members for GETTING IT again.
They were at the first Drum Corps Competition I went to. I still remember hearing the impact at 1:20 and being completely blown away. I instantly fell in love with Phantom (more than I already was). This performance motivated me to switch to brass and I'll always remember it for that
I was and am you, saying that very same thing about their 2003 harmonic journey show beginning to the BREATHTAKING end which I only saw on the internet. ✌️👀👽💦✌️😎
such control of the brass sound..and those mellophones are killer!!!! Loved the Mozart... what impresses me the most is that they stand with their horns up for the entire performance...wish my band had the discipline they have
THIS VIDEO. I had no idea what a drum and bugle corps was. I just thought it meant drumline. Then I found THIS VIDEO. I still didn’t realize they marched but I heard something like nothing I’d ever heard before at the hit in Elsa’s Procession and I was instantly bound to this activity. It has changed my life and I haven’t even marched yet.
Part of me wishes I was born a bit earlier and exposed to this stuff before so I could have seen all of these amazing shows live. Phantom and BD 2011 are by far my favorite shows, and it’s a shame I will never be able to see them.
wow the music is amazing and well picked. sure it might be early right now but this show has potential. the drum line really suprised me even though Paul Rennick is not drum caption head anymore, they already sound clean! great camera audio as well. :)
Agreed with @CanyonBassCaptain. This is going to amazing come August. Had chills just about the whole time throughout this early season video. Incidentally, the audio quality on this camera is really good.
@euphmmx 1. Phantom did not swap Rennick for Gwaltney. Paul Rennick left to go to Santa Clara Vanguard and the whole drumline went with him. 2. The uniforms were designed specifically for this production.
I'll be seeing them in Stockton on Sunday, and I can't wait to hear the Mozart Requiem arrangement in person. I got big chills on that first "Dies Irae" hit! Go, Phantom!
Top 3 this year 1. Cavaliers 2. Phantom 3. Cadets Honestly, Cavaliers have an exciting show, and they're starting in the lead....gives them a great chance.
Man, I can't wait to the this show live this summer! Definitely, going to the at the New Meadowlands Stadium in August. I think I will have to get tickets for DCI East as well.
@srb30a They use the bounce to keep time. Practically every good pit does it to stay with each other. So either be distracted by the human metronomes or be distracted by the tears that can and will be caused without it.
I was so excited to finally hear this show, even though its about 10 days to the start of the DCI 2011 season. Just imagine how much it will grow all the way until Finals! It'll be a great show nontheless.
@tRev14863 Actually heres the show...the opener is from the soundtrack of East of Eden. Besides the theme from Nino Rota's score from romeo and juliet, a good portion of the show is from Mozart's Requiem, namely the lacrimosa and confutatis.
The Blue Devils' show this year may be one of the most entertaining, but I don't think it will win (and I'm a big Devils fan). This show is going to be epic. These guys will battle for the top spot with, at this point I'm saying, the Cadets.
One of the best things about seeing a show this early in the season is watching it progress with time! Sure there may be some balance and intonation issues here and there, but that goes with EVER corps this early in the game :). So much has changed JUST since their spring kickoff. Having the chance to play East of Eden with them was one of the most memorable musical experiences I have at this time, until I (hopefully) make PR next summer :) and as for the pit, let them express their love for PR!

Phantom Regiment - The leading cause of goosebumps/chills
Listening a decade later and being used to the finals version, I liked this transition into the closer better. It flowed way smoother.
This is the one show I WISH I saw live
The way this show grew and evolved over the season into what it became is nothing short of miraculous. It really was an underrated masterpiece.
They were at the first Drum Corps Competition I went to. I still remember hearing the impact at 1:20 and being completely blown away. I instantly fell in love with Phantom (more than I already was). This performance motivated me to switch to brass and I'll always remember it for that

I wish I could have watched this show live. I feel I might have cried like a baby
I'm so glad they changed the sectional solis at 7:35.
The change made them so much more effective.
such control of the brass sound..and those mellophones are killer!!!! Loved the Mozart... what impresses me the most is that they stand with their horns up for the entire performance...wish my band had the discipline they have
They changed the show a LOT from the early season to finals. The finals video sounds so much different
My three year old just walked in the room and said "I like your music."
Obviously she has great taste!
THIS VIDEO. I had no idea what a drum and bugle corps was. I just thought it meant drumline. Then I found THIS VIDEO. I still didn’t realize they marched but I heard something like nothing I’d ever heard before at the hit in Elsa’s Procession and I was instantly bound to this activity.

I have a feeling this will become one of Phantoms "Big" shows. For being June 7th, it sounds pretty darn good! Love the uniforms Phantom!!
I want to be part of Phantom Regiment 2012 more than anything I have ever wanted.
The pit really gets into the music. I love it. ^_^
I can't wait to see this live on the 26th!
Part of me wishes I was born a bit earlier and exposed to this stuff before so I could have seen all of these amazing shows live. Phantom and BD 2011 are by far my favorite shows, and it’s a shame I will never be able to see them.
I'm new in the DCI fandom, but after seeing Phantom play at my school Friday night...They are definitely my favorite. Just amazing!
I love watching the contra's slowly die as the show goes on. (I'm not hating, I'm loving cause I know Jupiters)
COMING IN....WITH A SCORE OF 99.95.....I REPEAT, 9-9-POINT-9-5....PHAAAANTOOOOM REGIMEEEENTT.
I wouldn’t give up saxophone for the world… except maybe to time travel and be in this show…
Wow! That Phantom sound.
I've had this stuck in my head the past week.
I play melephone for Ohio state and I have allways looked up to these guys as my motivation!
some music from the 1950s Romeo and Juliet in there....... i likey.....
Those euphoniums....they be hurting! :]
Goosebumps...
Two people are BD fans who still can't get over from seeing Phantom win in '08.
Love theme from Romeo and Juliet is so beautiful :')
this is BRILLIANT!
fantastic musicians plus incredible designers!
this show will be an emotional tour de force!
One of the most gorgeous sounding corps!!!
A little Verdi's Requiem and ending with Elsa's. I'm loving this show!
The mellos note in the chord at 1:54 gave me chills.
wow the music is amazing and well picked. sure it might be early right now but this show has potential. the drum line really suprised me even though Paul Rennick is not drum caption head anymore, they already sound clean! great camera audio as well. :)
the contras are just chillin hahah
Was anyone else grooving out when they heard the funky beat in the beginning of the ballad?
This is one of the most beautiful ways to get someone to cry lol
I love to watch the percussionists in a standstill performance.
I can't wait to see the on-field interpretation. I'm so excited to see Phantom this year.
funny read this 10 years later after seeing that beautiful show 100 times on you tube
One thought going through the minds of the Tubas and Euphs: OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOOOWWWW!
ALL of the corps are bringing it this year. I've never been more excited about a season until now :)
Interesting to hear the show before we refined it into the final product. Still a product to be proud of
One month later, and these guys sound amazing!! saw them in Denver. I'm definitely a phan
I saw them in illinois last night and they got so loud :DDD
This is such great quality.
Carolina Crown music with that bright brass of Phantom...buzzsaw!
Oh my god the drumline at the impact in the closer just go ham
Wow Phantom always has amazing soloists.
@ScottyNeutron Yes...thank you! Loved seeing Phantom in SLC this year.
Love all the head bopping, lol
Agreed with @CanyonBassCaptain. This is going to amazing come August. Had chills just about the whole time throughout this early season video.
Incidentally, the audio quality on this camera is really good.
thanks for posting this,it is BRILLIANT!

I love that they use all euphs. So much power and warmth
my brother just made 2012 Cavaliers and i just can't wait to go see DCI Finals
So wonderfully beautiful...
@Inspadave New World Symphony probably one of my most favorite shows :D
I am actually digging the electronic drum part.
They are so musical and they put so much emotion into it , no other Corps take my breath away like phantom does
so glad they put contras in the front..thats the way it should be!!
Phantom is the only world class I would ever want to march in because of the outrageous amount of feeling that they produce in their music.
I love how the battery sounds like WGI. That's some crazy stuff they're playing. The brass is amazing in the opener.
Incredible.
beautiful.
OHH MAN!! i can't wait to see them live!!!
What a treat for a park concert! They could not get much better.
CANT WAIT FOR SATURDAY GET TO SEE THEM AT WALNUT,CA AHHHHHHHH
Awsome quality!
Lady in the pink hat is rocking out!!!
Gorgeous duet to start it off, I love it.
Lovely show... Can not wait to see on the field.
I'll be seeing them in Stockton on Sunday, and I can't wait to hear the Mozart Requiem arrangement in person. I got big chills on that first "Dies Irae" hit! Go, Phantom!
Oh yes, now I can't wait to see them live :D
great looking uniforms too
Elsa's!!!!! Great piece =)
Top 3 this year
1. Cavaliers
2. Phantom
3. Cadets
Honestly, Cavaliers have an exciting show, and they're starting in the lead....gives them a great chance.
Man, I can't wait to the this show live this summer! Definitely, going to the at the New Meadowlands Stadium in August. I think I will have to get tickets for DCI East as well.

@SunDevlFan4Life Just saw them Live in AZ as well!! It was freaking AMAZING!! :D
Antonio Cabrera hey dad
Crazy how much a show can change by finals! :)
Saw them last night live at DCI West, fucking amazing. had goosebumps for the whole show
I was so excited to finally hear this show, even though its about 10 days to the start of the DCI 2011 season. Just imagine how much it will grow all the way until Finals! It'll be a great show nontheless.
So good...

Pink hat is rocking out at the requiem part, hahaha
I have a feeling it's going to be the Cavies, Phantom, and Blue Stars that fight it out in finals for 1st
Thanks, great to know.
Actually... now that I really think about it. They do win every time in the ways that matters most.
just wow.
This must have been so loud and amazing.
you are very happy right now !!
On FIRE! Lets Go!
@mikers3000 I totally agree. I wish that hadn't changed it!
Pretty good...Intonation was a bit all over the place at time but VERY GOOD show...I can't wait to see them in August
1:21-2:02, The most Beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Requiem of Mozart and Romeo and Juliet. How much better can this get?!
DCI is coming to our schools field this summer...awwwwe cant wait
The Blue Devils' show this year may be one of the most entertaining, but I don't think it will win (and I'm a big Devils fan). This show is going to be epic. These guys will battle for the top spot with, at this point I'm saying, the Cadets.
@euphmmx They wore black gauntlets on white uniforms in 1989. You might be familiar with that program. One of their best ever.
SO.MANY.TRUMPETS!
I love this show!
PLEASE upload the Concert in the Park performance from this year if you go!
