  1. The only thing I could see realistically happening is BDB or whoever wins open class placing 19th, at the most. When you get to last years 18th place (Pacific Crest), they are just on a whole other level. The top 5 or 6 or so of Open class are getting quite good though, I must say. That's awesome. :smile:

  2. Sorry, but you're just flat out wrong. J.D. Shaw doesn't write weak horn books; it simply just doesn't happen. The execution might be off, but the books are solid.

    Much like last year, from the initial recordings I hear Phantom taking on much, much bigger challenges with interval leaps, harmonic blends, and instrument range than most other DCI corps. Difficulty in brass is more than just "non-stop sixteenth runs."

    I'm a huge Phantom homer, no apology. But to me, this show has the excitement "feel" of their 2003 show: it might not end up much better than 5th place, but the crowd is going to eat it up.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that this show will be that awesome. We could get along. :thumbup:

  3. Not saying the rest of the show won't be awesome. Elsa's as the closer will be very emotional come finals night, but it only takes 10 seconds to make people B**** and moan for hours and hours. Here's hoping they pull it. Didn't seem to make much musical sense to have it there in the first place.

    Definitively. Didn't meant to sound like I was disagreeing with you, cause I agree 100% with you. :thumbup:

  4. Phantom's show will be plenty controversial. Why? Lacrimosa + really lame electronic drum kit groove. Just saw in on some other site. Really hope they take out the house beat from behind a truly beautiful melody. Right now it's just painful to listen too.

    I have to agree, that was my only real complaint about the show, other than those 10 seconds, it'll be plenty awesome.

  5. Final one before summer.
