I marched 89 and was on staff in 96. I can tell a lot of the people leaving comments are young. You guys seriously need to hunt around on youtube and watch the closers from 78, 83, 82... some of the older stuff. It was simply amazing. Not better or worse than the more recent shows, but certainly different. WAY more powerful hornlines with the G horns, but you can't really get any sense of that from watching video. You just had to be there to understand.

The move at the end ... the classic triangle formation, drum break, and legs kick out ... pure awesome! There's a reason that move was duplicated so many times in subsequent years!

I'm from an earlier time. Marched 1975 and 1976 with Guardsmen, a corps also from Illinois like Phantom. I wasn't sure I would like drum corps when I joined (really hard work!) But competing against Phantom got me hooked! The power of those horns, drums and great color guard even then, was fantastic. Guardsmen was a fine corps that made finals 3 or 4 times. Sadly, they are gone. I love all corps, but there is a special place in my heart for Phantom. I still have a phantom t shirt from 1991 that says "Phantom - the best reason to march drum corps.
