    Having watched that clip from their park concert, I am BLOWN away! I love it!

    Without making any real bold predictions I will say this sounds like a fantastic show and I love the newer style of writing and the throwback to some traditional Phantom sounds. Obviously we have not yet seen visual or had a chance to assess GE, guard, staging, and things of that nature, but to my ears here is what I am hearing:

    1. A brass line that is very talented with major demand in the book, and I feel they sound a bit better than Cadets do at this juncture. Tough to pick up on bad audio quality, but in terms of articulations and control of range I feel as though they are at the same level or perhaps a bit stronger than Cadets at this point. Obviously that's an unfair comment to make so early and without having truly seen each brass line live. So just an observation.

    2. Love the percussion book and the pit is really good. Solid integration of the musical book (brass, battery, pit).

    3. Love the music. It's a nice out-of-the-box approach to trying something new yet wrapping it in somewhat traditional clothing (if you will). The charts flow, utilize a variety of styles, feature all the sections, and there is plenty of melody to grab onto. This music will no doubt be tweaked some, but I am confident this will be a solid, if not, spectacular musical production.

    Really looking forward to this show!!!!

    Interesting that you mention the Cadets. To me this book sounds quasi-Cadets.
