King Marching Brass

In 2003 Phantom Regiment debuted the newest line of King Marching Brass instruments through a wonderful relationship with Conn-Selmer (A Steinway Company), the world’s largest music instrument manufacturer. This new line of brass instruments was custom designed through a collaboration of Phantom Regiment brass staff members and Conn-Selmer craftsmen. The King horns have certainly been a key ingredient as we have moved our brass program back to the elite Top 3, last year being only .4 from the high brass trophy at the DCI Championships.

In 2004 the Blue Knights and Carolina Crown added King Marching Brass to their lines and this year Boston Crusaders, Southwind and Magic are also playing with King horns. King also was the instrument of choice for former DCI champion Star of Indiana. Regiment brass arranger J.D. Shaw performs on C.G. Conn instruments (partner line to King marching brass) and can be heard on tour with Boston Brass. For more information log on to www.conn-selmer.com.

Pearl Drums/Adams Percussion

One of our longest relationships has been with Pearl Drums, which also handles North American distribution of Adams melodic percussion.

Since the addition of Paul Rennick to our percussion and design team (himself a long-time Pearl artist) the Regiment drum line has moved into the ranks of elite programs, attracting the finest collegiate marching percussionists in the world. Our drum program is setting new standards each season, and Pearl has the quality that these musicians demand. The richness and depth of Pearl/Adams top-line instruments is a perfect match for our legendary sound. Check out www.pearldrum.com for a complete product line listing.
