Love the recording and video quality. Years ago, we could have only dreamed about something like this before finals. Horns are sounding good already. Lots of parking and blowing instead of playing while marching, but I'm sure they'll add more stuff to the show. Judges during my years would have destroyed our scores if we only mostly played while parked, but I know times have changed and now the shows are more like modern dance/theater.
Such amazing complexity, so many things going on at once yet, all coordinated and none of it "normal" by any standard I can think of. Whoever choreographed this is a brilliant madman. These people must have worked on this many hours a day for many days to the point of exhaustion and perfection. There must be a sense of Comradeship they will remember and compare to everything else they do, for the rest of their lives. Good on them all!!!
Nice show Phantom. Great energy. Horns, drums, color guard fantastic. Love those super high spins of the rifles. With more polish, can't wait to see what it looks like in August. Phantom Phan forever. SUTA!!!!😊🎉❤
I’m so eager to see what this evolves into!!!! Only things I hope they would tweak are: 1. Add a voiceover “scream” leading into the first hit (like someone is losing their “mynd”) 2. Shorten the drum break after the opener and add a brass feature that mixes with the drums leading into equilibrium. 2. I need a chord resolution at 4:24 3. I need harder drill from hornline while the duet is going on in fly or die. (Instead of just standing there) 4.I think it would be cool if they added some trumpet screamers at the end of fly or die. 5. the closer is amazing but I need phantom running leading into the mello bomb drop.
Brass sounding excellent. Need work on the starts and cut-offs, but they sound like a solid team and there were only a few bad sounds. The percussion of SCV is universally incredible. Try to keep up with the JONZ. If the group matures as they should they'll rank Top 4.
@@Davis.smith.weightlifting Yes....that's much closer to what Regiment did. 83-84 Garfield...I think 03, THOSE are Z-pulls for me. Hell...we even did one in 86 Dagenham Crusaders in the UK (although I was on cymbals and the Z was in the brass)
Intriguing. Music sounds great for being so early. I hope the director/design team add the traditional phantom kick, kneel + kick out, and the chevron at some point!
I can definitely see the need for more visual work- there seems to be a lot of down time where things are not moving but it's a great start. We all know what we see now and what we see during finals week are very different things.
This was amazing to watch! Sixty years ago, starting my senior year of high school, I was a band geek. We did a lot of moving drill, because the stands were too low for formations to be recognised, and drone-mounted cameras were not a thing even in sci-fi. We did not march sideways or backwards. All of this is just to say that these kids are beyond amazing. I remember just how diligently we rehearsed each of our football half time shows. ( Football at Seminole High was so that there would be half time for the band, you realise.) This performance is galaxies removed from what we could do.
Keep in mind that this is an early show. Things will doubtless be changing in the visual department so y'all who get something out of it, (I can't being blind and all) will appreciate the final product. Good music though although a lot more electronic than usual I have to admit.
THIS SHOW WAS MIND BLOWING, I cried and cried when the mellos got on the props and blasted my face off. Really gives a “ Beethoven gone mad” vibe AND IM ALL FOR IT!!
No, it's not are you kidding me? This sounds NOTHING like the Phantom Regiment that I remember from the 2000's. That being said, it's a heck of a lot better than last year.
Holy fucking shit I haven't seen a show as good as this in a fucking decade No superfluous props or extra distracting instruments or prerecorded audio The stage props are minimal and entirely functional and placed out of the way when needed instead of taking up tons of room with big thematic billboards Just raw drum corps at their finest I cannot wait to see how they push this through the season Holy shit
Phantom 03 - being classic... today is a weird time... while I harkens a strength of the thousands PR, thay certainly wasn't their "classic" heritage lol
I tend to like the early 2000 to 2010s DCI shows and I think the narration and props have been over used recently, but Phantom has gotten it right this time! For being so early in the year, they already sound great and the props really enhance rather than distract. It still has the classical element that is distinctly Phantom and yet the jazz parts do not sound out of place at all. This can be a top five show by that time. Great work!
Nice Phantom! Way to go. This is a strong start and I like that this is a very Avant Guard show. Really reminds me of Santa Clara 2018, but in its own unique way. I like the drill throughout but especially appreciate the rotating box that spins out and then closes with what feels like a mini z-pull. Not sure if this was a tip of the cap to The Cadets, but it's great writing. The battle of the 2 soloists is fantastic, and those two play incredibly well. There is a LOT of potential in this show. It's not a classic Phantom Regiment show in the Tchaikovsky sense of Romantic music from the late 1800s. It feels modern and cutting edge. Interested to see this with the uniforms. Keep pushing Regiment. This will go as far as you want to take it. Just on a first read I really like it. Looking forward to seeing this live.
Wow. This is a work of art. I was attracted it through the picture of people in a square with instruments and couldn't figure out how they did this. And the video is incredible. The quality of music is stupendous. But the routines.... how in the world do they put this together, memorize their steps and play music at the same time?! Amazing.
😮 it's 430 am in Australia and this came up on my UA-cam and normally if I did watch something like this I might catch a minute or two, but I couldn't stop watching all the way, such a nice break from the boring power hungry monsters out there. ( Dictators and Politicians) Thank you . Indigo
@@AntecorSound I was at their family day Saturday. OMG! Sinnerman is a distant memory. Sinnerman isn't even close to Vieux Carre. This show is an absolute monster! The talent level is off the charts. Vieux Carre is going to shock the world in it's debut on Friday night on Flomarching. You heard it here first. I still can't process what I saw Saturday night.
Not sure about top 5. Colts show just leaked and it is more impressive than Phantom. I don't see Phantom beating anyone who beat them last year, and a couple of corps behind them have improved quite a bit. Top 8 may be a stretch this year for Phantom.
Never afraid to push the limits... Phantom always has my respect. IS THAT FLY OR DIE? soloists killed it. Super hyped to see this show grow into its full potential this summer.
What familiar and cohesive show music the crowd can enjoy. Not muddled with a bunch of talking, whispering, and props. Can't wait to see them by finals! They should make top six. Definitely creates a mood.
There’s high cam… and then there’s HIGH AF cam
Somewhere out there, a guy named Cam is high af, and he's reading this.
Hi, Cam.
They asked a basketball player to hold the iPhone for them
It’s SkyCam
Genuinely surprised when I saw it XD
Lmao that’s “Drone Cam”
Good Lord. This show has so much potential.
Awesome!
I agree...some over playing and intonation stuff but lots of potential
@@chrisshort6966 I mean those drills are NOT easy, I would bet they sound great in a circle without all the sprinting
@@nxyuu it's early, wasn't really meaning it as a dig.
@@chrisshort6966 No you're fine, I didn't take it that way was just adding my thoughts
That super high cam was incredible, made it look like i was reading the actual drill charts

GOOD. LORD. PHANTOM. IT’S. ONLY. JUNE. I’M. SPEECHLESS!!!
I love all the hardwork they are doing to improve! I hope they get placed higher this year, they did not deserve 7th last year 😢
This…. This is now phantom regiment.
GOD DAMN I LOVE DRUM CORP SEASON!!!!
As a 1985 velvet knight thank you so much for this it made me feel 17 Again
Is it just me or do they look extremely young? The brass is sounding tasty already, should be be a cool show in a couple months. Good luck kids!
They look extremely younger every year... 😂
The phantom Mello page has been posting the past couple months and the section is like all rookies, which is cool!
I think the age of the Drumline is about 18 on average
I think it's the yellow tshirts and shorts, makes them look like the Phantom Regiment HS Marching Band
Nice show Phantom. Great energy. Horns, drums, color guard fantastic. Love those super high spins of the rifles. With more polish, can't wait to see what it looks like in August. Phantom Phan forever. SUTA!!!!😊🎉❤
WOW - High School marching bands have really advanced!❤❤❤❤
The corps sounds great! Brass has a great quality of sound. Percussion has a great base to build upon.
Dude my highschool played the same piece that’s right after the fast part of the opener last year
i've already watched this more than 20 times
4:08 For a minute there I thought I was listening to Crown's hornline. Those are some SICK runs!
Ooo phantom brining back the dark shows. For early season this is incredible
Can’t WAIT to see this at finals holy cow!
24 mellophones is INSANE!!!!!! Like holy shit
I’m so eager to see what this evolves into!!!! Only things I hope they would tweak are:
1. Add a voiceover “scream” leading into the first hit (like someone is losing their “mynd”)

FLY OR DIE OH MY GOODNESS
Also the Cadets Z-Pull too, RIP
Definitely wanna see how this show progresses
Phantom Regiment for President ! 🇺🇸
Might have to learn brass to join them ngl I really love their work
I’ve seen two pre season shows now and the Midwest is showing up hard!
10:39 looks like the z-pull is a tribute to the cadets ❤
I liked it. Smoking book and the drill is crisp for this early. Some elements of modern era I don't care for but it is what it is. No uniforms?
Just a community performance, we had a dress rehearsal last night and will have our first show on Wednesday.
Love love love!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like some of Crown's shows. The tuba feature and right after that. Relentless.
This group has got some serious potential. Covid really did wonders for phantom I guess, they’ve had some killer shows the last couple years
ngl I was hearing mcm 2023 in that latter half drum break (9:31)
It is the same source material
Look up “Pillar III”
Contra/Tubas: 3:57
Brass sounding excellent. Need work on the starts and cut-offs, but they sound like a solid team and there were only a few bad sounds.

Fantastic
Wow they have a hi-cam and MEGA hi-cam
The ONLY problem with this is that the overall volume is too low. :( I wanna get my face blown off.
Notice the soloist in the duet is on BARITONE. Phantom traditionally marches ALL EUPHS... When did we last see a baritone, if we even ever have?
2012, was a mixed line
@@sceu25 So cool! I never noticed
DCI please hire this video team for everything.
ong
It’s so clear and the sounds is insane so much better than anything Flo does
@@Syrup_206yes the sound quality was perfect
@@Syrup_206 emphasis on ANYTHING!
Yes Please.. ❤❤❤
That euph and trombone duet was smokin!
My comment to myself was, "Wholly smoke!"
what surprised me was that its not actually a euph, its just a baritone! i believe either a king 1124 or 1127
The bass trombone low Bb was great!
Understated comment. That was ****ing ridiculous! Loved it. excellent use of electronics too.
@@Noob_Productionz holy hell you're right. that's actually a really neat use of the slight differences in instruments
I mean, if that's where they're STARTING, the season looks very bright for Phantom 👏
This is the intensity of Phantom Regiment we old school Phans wanted to hear!!
I had "Moonlight Goosebumps"
indeeeeedddd absolutely bright
@@guitarmansegovia yeah :) bring back Kristy Spears to be the conductor lol :) she was awesome
The drumline is ahead of the horns. Some old-school Phantom guys are excited about the drumline.
Lovely tribute to the Cadets with the Z-Pull at 10:39
I'm so happy they got a top-down shot of that. I saw that and I was screaming "THEY ARE DOING A Z-PULL!!!"
Not really a Z pull....more like Cavies 2002 early in the 2nd movement for me.
A true Z pull would not have had the arms coming out of a center block.
@@samsignorellinot all z pulls looked the same from cadets. This one reminds me of the one in 2000
Buccaneers have a few tributes to Cadets in their show (probably due to shared members/staff and proximity), a Z pull and the bass visual at least.
@@Davis.smith.weightlifting Yes....that's much closer to what Regiment did. 83-84 Garfield...I think 03, THOSE are Z-pulls for me.
Hell...we even did one in 86 Dagenham Crusaders in the UK (although I was on cymbals and the Z was in the brass)
24 mellos is such a JD Shaw move and I'm here for it
3 Mello parts man…
Wow, it’s surprisingly early for HQ multi-camera, with a good audio track. Respect to all involved, especially the editor.
Intriguing. Music sounds great for being so early. I hope the director/design team add the traditional phantom kick, kneel + kick out, and the chevron at some point!
I’m willing to bet there will be a kick halt at 10:54
Absolutely. It's usually a later-season thing I think, but those definitely need to happen
I can definitely see the need for more visual work- there seems to be a lot of down time where things are not moving but it's a great start. We all know what we see now and what we see during finals week are very different things.
@trptgk I wish more corps would release early runs of their shows! My favorite part of the season is seeing all of the changes shows go through!
@@squillz8310 troopers usually do. Keep a look out for this weekend

This puts the whole "Real drum corps doesn't exist anymore!" controversy to rest.
They are marching alot
Yup, It doesn't
You underestimate us dinosaurs. But this is a great show.
They're relentless. Some totally obtuse comment about the props or synth is inevitable.
@@rifle2563 no theyre not lol
I didn't expect much from early season but I was blown away. Just wow.
you can really hear the scv staff
Now THIS is the PHANTOM we all remember from the 2000’s Holy cow!!
No, it's not are you kidding me? This sounds NOTHING like the Phantom Regiment that I remember from the 2000's. That being said, it's a heck of a lot better than last year.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa16534 agree..this is like a SC Babylon clone.
@chrisshort6966 how tf is it a clone with different music composition and different design?
It has no extras
Its drum corps without the field art or the audio clips that have become so prevalent
That's why it feels like classic corps
@@zepanzer9598 because the show concept and design is incredibly similar, down to how they interact with the cage props.
10:40 rip cadets
Holy fucking shit I haven't seen a show as good as this in a fucking decade
No superfluous props or extra distracting instruments or prerecorded audio
The stage props are minimal and entirely functional and placed out of the way when needed instead of taking up tons of room with big thematic billboards
Just raw drum corps at their finest
I cannot wait to see how they push this through the season Holy shit
:) yeah
SCV has 0 props this year. =O
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ITS BABALON 2 IM CRYING LIKE LIGIT

It's definitely different to see phantom with bent leg technique. Some really unique and interesting staging choices. Best of seasons to you!🎉
Holy smokes Phantom! So many amazing things happening in this show already. Watching this progress is going to be a pleasure.
My son was the drum captain. I loved watching them at the stadium and at competitions. ❤

Sounds like they can be quite competitive this year. Then again I say that most years and the judges come out pooping 💩💩💩

This is such a great vehicle for them. The could take this very far. Bravo Regiment!
Man that 4k60 looks so dang good, you can see every members face from the box and the drums look super clear
