That One Time Baroque Went…
That one time baroque went blaring
It was fast, dynamic and daring
I don’t know how anyone could keep up that pace
But I swear the drums were so hard
Accompanied by an amazing guard
And a brass so deafening it could melt your face
I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard
Pachelbel’s Canon so loud and stirred
But Phantom Regiment did it all very well
You can hear it in the crowd screaming
This Harmonic Journey left me dreaming
But this corps has always put me under a spell

Loving this series, Wally! It takes me back to many years when teamwork was always a step together, not apart.
Excellent poetry!

Thanks Ahavati,
The activity has always intrigued me from concept and design to final production. It really is a team effort.

Thanks Jen, with the season cancelled this summer, this series is making up for it a bit.

Dear W,
Standing ovation. Wonderful write that brought back memories of watching a drum and fife corp rehearsing during summer months. The precision drills and excellent musicianship was a delight. This work has me tripping down that memory lane. Well done. H🌷

I love that the program can also draw out emotion and excitement. The activity has gone through such an evolution over the decades. As I get later into the competition I'll add more recent clips. It truly is a wonderful activity.
