Living the dream as a Raider ❤️ I can’t wait to see what else is in store PC: liset #phantomregiment #SUTA #raiders #phantomettes

One thing that's super cool about being in colorguard, and DCI, is the incredible support and love that come from group to group. The Phantomettes sang to the lamp from the Blue Stars as she came off the field and showered her with compliments and love as we headed on to the field. We did this at Semis, and then again at finals. This video is at finals, and you can see someone is videoing it, and some of our staff were watching and also caught the pure joy, as seen by the smiles on their faces. This feeling is something that you simply have to experience to understand. I love this activity so incredibly much, because it's so much more than just the counts, the drill, and the choreography. It's so much more than just a competition. It's love, it's passion, and it's friendship that is shared throughout every single corps. We love Lamp.

I am at my house. But I don't feel like I am home. Home has changed for me. Home doesn't have a location anymore because home is whenever I'm with my brothers and sisters on a football field, getting better and striving to be my best self. The Phantom Regiment is my home. I'm completely distraught already. I'm supposed to get up in the morning and go to college band camp. How am I supposed to do that when my heart is so heavy and I am hurting so badly? How am I supposed to go on? A huge part of me, the better and best part of me, is missing now that I'm not with my phamily. I am so thankful for everything I experienced this summer with them and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I miss my phamily. I miss the regiment. I miss my Phantomette Sisters. I miss every single thing about the Phantom Regiment. I am not whole. I am not okay without them right now.
