This is the piece of music we picked for my mother's funeral two weeks ago. It was played as people left their seats after the service, while my close family stayed behind and the big 'push' came just as the last guest filed out of the door. Drum corps played a huge part in my family's life, my mother being one of the 'wardrobe ladies' for our corps (The Statesmen) for many years. She left this world to the sound she loved: great music played by a great drum corps and my father, brother and I thank every member of Phantom Regiment that made the most difficult day of our lives a little easier to bear. Thank you all.

😇🎶👀👂I played their 03 dvd at my dad's funeral reception in 08 and it helped get through everything, besides Jesus comforting us all. My dad played piano, organ, and keyboard before I was born. He knew ALOT about music and taught me a few things on the piano. I showed him this dvd 3 years before Jesus took him. He said that the brass line was ferocious, and the drumline was on time👀👂🎶😇

While listening to this, one has to imagine sitting in a stadium atop a hill around midnight. The Phantom Regiment has taken its place for an encore. It's about midnight under a clear sky with a crisp and cool gentle breeze. The horn line is facing away from the main bleachers as the harmonic blends of Amazing Grace begin, with subtle echoes returning to your ears from the nearby homes. You sit back, appreciate this rare experience, absorbing every moment.

Heard them do this live once. They used our local high school for a day of practice and then did a free public performance of their show that night before going on to Texas the next day. They closed the show with this. Recordings do not do them justice. I was sitting about halfway up the stadium and literally felt the air from their sound hit me in the chest. A moment I will never forget as long as I live.

@DECLAN DOUGAN G bugles only had 2 valves & weren't chromatic, limiting what music you can do since you cant play all the notes. They were also less refined than regular indtruments because only drum corps bought them in small numbers compared tk regular trumpets, so it basically made life simpler for manufacturers, gave corps more in tune & consistent instruments for similar cost, and opened up fully chromatic music & an easier transition for people who already have brass experience. The main thing lost was a bit of warmth & overall volume since the instruments have slightly different bores. It's for the better overall, and hey if you want to experience them, join an alumni corps like the Riley Raiders- they still use them.
@chip-chipper-chippest35813 жыл бұрын
@@KennyCnotG False. G Bugles were widely available with three valves. G Bugles were less expensive than concert pitched instruments. Star of Indiana was the only perennial top-6 corps that used 2 valve bugles and that was a conscious choice. Star competed on the same set of bugles for their entire ten years of existence, choosing to have them overhauled than buy new sets of horns. The move to Bb was a corporate partnership deal, plain and simple.
