In 2016, the Phantom Regiment Board of Directors began to give earnest attention to how our own organization may be failing to live up to our publicly posted mission, vision, and values. We realized then, as now, that it is not enough to simply accept people of all colors, creeds, orientations, and genders as part of our programs. Drum corps, while influenced by many cultures of the world, is largely an American art form. As such, it is not immune to America’s challenges. And neither is Phantom Regiment. We have always been willing to have the sometimes difficult conversations that [... Read More]

After the devastating announcement last week that the 2020 drum corps season had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we reached out to a few members to hear what they thought of the situation. Here's what they had to say; "This summer would have been my 5th and final summer with my Phamily. I have found love, belonging, confidence, and resilience, among so many other amazing things. It's tough for me to pick a favorite moment as often, I do not even realize how special a moment is until much, much later. I think the summer of 2019 was [... Read More]

To our alumni, fans, donors and the entire Phantom Regiment family: It has been an incredibly difficult past several weeks. We all have the same concerns about the coronavirus. It’s been near-impossible to avoid hearing about it every day. Those concerns led Phantom Regiment and other drum corps to cancel their March camps. As the concerns intensified, plans were in place to alter April camps and Drum Corps International had prepared for a July start to a shortened season. Unfortunately, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Drum Corps International and its member drum corps organizations have now decided to cancel [... Read More]

We have been hard at work over the past few months working on a whole new merchandise experience for our phans. A new name and fresh designs!

Dear Phamily, Like you, we've been closely following the ongoing coronavirus. There's been a lot of uncertainty about how this pandemic will affect our activity and our summer tour; we wanted to update you as soon as we had more information to share. Phantom Regiment, DCI, and our fellow corps agree that the most important thing when making decisions about this season is the safety of everyone involved with our activity, and that will remain our top priority going forward. Here's what we've been up to: In response to the most recent developments with the coronavirus (COVID-19), DCI held a [... Read More]

Phantom Regiment held its first "PR Social" in Austin, Texas on Feb. 25 at the very hip Cosmic Coffee Bar+Beer Garden. New executive director Stan Mauldin and visual designer Jeremy Hunt were in attendance to introduce themselves, and about a dozen came and enjoyed a couple hours of meeting other PR alumni and friends -- and discovering the many connections they have with each other. Numerous times, it was said that "we should do this once or twice a year." Plans are already in the works to organize more of these events around the country as there are Phantom Regiment [...

The Texas Music Educators Clinic and Convention (TMEA) is one of the largest music education conference in the country, drawing attendees from all 50 states and from around the world. TMEA is a celebration of great music education, wonderful clinics, and is a time to renew old friendships and make new ones! As the new Executive Director, I was looking forward to meeting with the Phantom Regiment corporate partners to introduce myself and put faces with names. However, I was not prepared for the onslaught of well-wishers over the three-day convention. On my first day at TMEA, as I was [... Read More]
