The brilliance of the concept of Pitch Perfection is actually in all of the 'bad' stuff they are doing. The ideas of breath control and release, air movement and control, articulation (which is not perfect, but absolutely consistent throughout the line - which means its getting better), are all perfectly executed when they are doing the 'wrong' things This makes the focus on getting it right is just that much more important and centered when they are dead on.

Stumbled across this again on December 31 2022. DCI has always been a love of mine and Phantom is my favorite Corp. this video illustrates so much, but if I had to put my finger on the one thing that sends me, it’s the hit, it’s always going to be that hit

@yesorlando05 8 жыл бұрын

I never tire of PR's top-heavy HL. The prominent low brass sound is something I've always been drawn to by this corps. Such richness. The ballad at the end is stunningly beautiful. No crazy runs or fancy articulations. Just a perfect blend of voices that soothes the soul.

Couldn't agree more with the "top-heavy" comment. My first DCI experience was when I was just a middle school student that got lucky enough to go along with the high school students to a DCI show, and it just happened to be 1996. I've been a big fan of PR ever since.

I enjoyed the time when I marched Lead Soprano with Star in 1988 and we competed against Phantom in so many competitions. There were two competitions where we tied for 1st at both of them two days apart. I think by the end of the year it was something like 8 wins for Phantom and 7 for Star with 2 ties. That was a lot of times for us to meet each other. Great times.

@samshelley6152 3 жыл бұрын

@@sparksparkboom If memory serves correctly, we were punished by visual staff for a few people being hungover in the morning after a "free day" in New Orleans. Lots of running, lots of continuous reps without us getting to put our horns down (we're talking 20+ minutes of holding the horns up). All in Southern Mississippi in the middle of the day in late July. Not fun. Then they took "SUTA" away from us and removed the "pull halt" at the end of the company front in Elsa's for this show only. We "the hornline" weren't particularly pleased about these last two removals, and so we "brought it" that night. I remember getting dressed on the bus and everyone was fuming. Visual staff continued to be antagonistic through visual warmup, so by the time we got to music warmup we were ready to let off some "steam." I think that's why the lead trumpets can be heard clearly above the staff through all the block chords here. I was a lowly 3rd trumpet near the mellos, but even from there you could sense the pent up anger across the line. We were very good, and so were previous versions of the hornline, at channeling this anger into playing better. I think this video encapsulates that well, and the video from the show this night also illustrates that (in my opinion). I don't know why I'm sharing this 10 years later on a public youtube video, but looking back its interesting to me, and reinforces a bit of the legend of Phantom Regiment. Hope you enjoy the story.

My band director does this exact exercises with us. Well, I'm a senior now, but yeah. It made our sound much better. The listening, the watching, everything was just better. This was the best year of marching that my high school has had, other than my freshmen year. We missed state by one. :/ But yeah, these guys know what they're doing.

Well said, sir. Any of these fine musicians, and anyone who has ever played a brass instrument, blessed with the gift to create their own sound, and then to experience that sound shared with a group of others, will realize that what occurs beginning at approximately 2:40 of this video is what each of us hopes it will sound like when the gates of Heaven are opened for us. It is only when we combine such talents and hard work with others that we create this larger beauty that is beyond ourselves.
