So awesome! I’ve rewatched this dozens of times. I love everything about their show - from the beginning piano sonata to the explosive ending and everything in between. My friends went to the finals in Indiana and I kick myself for not joining them! This I had to be spectacular live!
This show won't win, but man, it has so many cool moments and ideas. The Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog is such an iconic work of the Romantic era, and using the combination of the props and the member at the end to, much more subtly, represent that was such a pro move. Many groups would have just slapped it on a big vinyl prop and called it a day. Kudos to BD for taking that idea just one step further and being thoughtful about their design choices.
It’s a shame everyone has become so jaded and spiteful of BD. I understand the flak Tempus Blue and Cut-Outs got from a compositional/cohesion standpoint, but this is a substantial jump in quality and they’re not being given their flowers for it.
Yes indeed, the sound quality was tremendous, but even more dazzling are views from high up. I know, not possible with an iPhone. But the visual artistry is totally awesome! Thanks for posting nonetheless. I was in a DCI group decades ago, I’m a big fan as well.
Yeah this show has seriously grown on me! I finally got over the uni’s looking like popcorn boxes. Now I can see and hear it for what it is. Very mature drum corps is happening here. Hoping this show gets the gold in about 10 days!!!
oh no....they ditched that tenor feature right before the finale... just left open space, which is cool...but that tenor homage to past shows was pretty dope.
as someone who marched from 2016 -19 this is the show that brought me back. shows in recent years just dont hit like they used to. But after not following the activity for some time then randomly getting this suggested on my feed. I just bought my tickets for finals weekend. this is everything drum corps should strive to be for many years to come. great hornline, great repertoire, great pacing, and just such a well put together show. hands down the best show of the summer. So glad I'm getting to see it live. Thank you Phantom Regiment for re-igniting my passion for the activity.
I miss the massive IV^9 chord at the end ngl. This one's more traditionally hype with the mello sustain but I wish they ended on the Eb^9 chord still (well not quite ended but if you get it you know)
@atlantic_love this is the closest this year. Don't act like you didn't know what he meant. Just be thankful shows like this are still moving fans and future performers / writers
@@christopherbernhardt I mean what I wrote, bozo. If you can't see what's going on with DCI, and being filtered down to the high school marching band level and DESTROYING IT, then you are part of the problem.
@@atlantic_love”Very open minded, nothing hateful” in your channel description. yea sure lol, opene minded to everything except evolution and change. Let’s be so for real here, the only people that would watch old DCI shows are old people and a few young people. The activity would plummet. That’s coming from a guy that owns a few G Bugles too.
@@sceu25 Being open-minded, in the sense that I conveyed it, doesn't have anything to do with not respecting corps traditiions, as you seem to be conflating. And nobody said anything about "watching old shows". Thinking and respecting aren't your strong suits. Stick to blowing on G's.
The Darth Vader capes look like cheap drapes, and the field is overcrowded making it visually unappealing. This show does not warrant the high scores it receives and is biased because of politics. Bluecoats have the best show this year followed by Boston Crusaders, and Crown.
can we just get a basic 2000s bd uniform.. it was perfect like it was .. it's visually disorienting ... also every park and bark moment it's the same dance cues .. it's so expected it's like you know it's a 16th note run.. they'll pop toe out do a hip movement or knee flare or whatever it's called and wrap it up with trumpet squeal power chord.. this formula is tiring once you realize this is a variation on the same show for decade or more.. it can work but not when basically every group does it every year multiple times per show it's again disorienting and the effect of the great moment falls flat
@@joeyteixeira01they perform at a high level walking around in clumps and playing quarter notes and having 3 minutes of the show in solos. doesn't show a lot of skill to me
Yeah I'm not too crazy about this year... the ballot isn't bad, I guess.. but BD kind of just put random stuff together. The transition from merry go round of life to the black and white theme wasn't really clean. But im seeing crown and bluecoats today! So I guess we'll see.
@mrbuddyro-robloxmore a consistently top 3 dci group doesn't show skill to you😂. You're just blinded by your hate. You, like most people, would think someone is stupid if they said "blue coats is only playing one note it's so easy" but when it comes to the blue devils the hate is suddenly normalized
