Keri you KILLED it this year! Thanks for sharing your view I always feel like we don’t see enough of the conductors! You guys put in so much hard work as well and you deserve to be acknowledged!! Thank you for all you’ve done with Phantom! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Most badass drum major in DCI I saw Finals in person too, did you guys ask Brandt Crocker to have you announced as a Conductor instead of Drum Major? Either way it was super cool.
At Phantom we call ourselves “Conductors” because we pride ourselves in our more expressive, orchestral/concert conducting style. Both are absolutely correct and okay to say! My admin team put in a change to have it say “conductor” instead of “drum major” in the announcements this year. I had no idea they did that until I heard it at the first show!
I watched the community performance at Kentucky Wesleyan as a birthday celebration, and then saw you guys at the Evansville clinic. I may be a malletist, but you are a hero! You’re amazing!!
