This is still one of my favorite videos of this moment. Raw, captures the Mello power! Only if you were there in person do you realize how loud those mellos were. Domination!
It started in (I think) 1983 with the Garfield Cadets. They did the Z-Pull twice, once at the end of their opener and once at the end of the show. It started with an arc, then it split in 3 to form a rounded Z, then they rotated it outward.
god.. I have no geographical or personal ties to PHantom, but ever since I saw them perform at the First Corps Encore 40 years ago Ive been captivated by their (original) look and flavor.. While I dont approve of the lack of any true semblance in appearance to those old days, I give them credit for not pulling a Blucoats and going on an acid trip every year, or a BD with its technically excellent/perfectly executed but BORING TO DEATH shows. I *always* get choked up at Phantom closers... they are my favorite corps for emotional engagement.. Troopers my favorite for the western aesthetic that is a part of my core personality, having grown up on the Wasatch Front built up strip of Utah.

I was in the stands for this moment. Love the classic Z-Pull. From beginning to end, this is a great show!
Ah those Mellophones. It’s a great show, and yes, I was there too. … What is a “classic Z-Pull?”

It’s a tribute to the cadets
