2005 Phantom Regiment - 2005 DCI Audio Archive APD

Show: Rhapsody

• Rhapsody in Blue
• An American in Paris

The Good: Paul Rennick is a god. Jamey Thompson is a god. J.D. Shaw is a god. Adam Sage is a god. Double-tonguing sopranos are gods. "Buicks" are gods. The drumline are gods. Hell, every single person involved with this show is a god. That's how much I love this show. The hornline makes me melt. The drumline makes me giddy. The drill makes me want to march. The colorguard make umbrellas cool guard equipment for the only time in DCI history. The melding of Rhapsody in Blue and American in Paris is so seamless it's sick. Can you tell I love this show? The contras are so good they must be from another planet. The crowd just ate this show up and so do I.

The Bad: Anybody that tells me I'm wrong is bad.

The Ugly: See The Bad.

Overview: How could this show place 3rd? This was, by far, the best total package of the night, speaking to both old and new fans alike.
