We continue our journey and listen to the middle decade of Paul Rennick's drum corps career this far with some Crown, Phantom and some DCA lines.

We begin a three-part series finale reviewing the career of Paul Rennick's drum corps arranging. We hear from the '91 & '92 Blue Devils, '93 Sky Ryders, '94 and '95 VK and end with the 1998 Carolina Crown.
We've lost a lot of corps over the years, so let's listen to some of the drumlines that are no longer active corps. We could use your help with arranging credits on these, as they've proven difficult to discover.
Thanks for making us the fastest-growing drumline podcast! You're the best. We're going to focus on family and recharge until the new year. We'll have two more episodes for Season 1 and get ready for a very cool season 2.
Get ready for retreat. This episode has five classic cadences from DCI.
