    Watching them rehearse at Santa Clara High School. I didn’t think it was physically possible to top last year’s closer, and yet…

    Came here to say this after finding a video of them performing it during an encore (it's not hard to find). The first half of it especially blows me away and to be honest it's some of the most gorgeous brass writing I've ever heard. I, too, would love some potential info on when it'll be in. Really hoping I'll get to see it this upcoming Monday at the AZ show - only show I can attend this season. At the very least catch them rehearsing it if they venture out into the Phoenix heat.

    On that note, does anyone know how best I can go about finding them when they're in town?

  2. #### everyone knocking will pitts. this is a fricking fantastically arranged brass book, especially in the confines of phantom's identity. god forbid we change something once in a while on this website. go back to your archives from the 70s and 80s if you didn't want to hear anything modernized or re-imagined. this book rocks.

    Carmina is used again by the mello soloist before the corps comes back with the ending of Fire. 

    Also comes up again at the beginning of the finale sequence. Btw my two cents on the performance: that is one brass book, and that is one hornline. Just loving this show for that group. Battery book obviously isn't the flashiest but they're certainly pulling it off well for the time being. Certainly a step up for the corps from last year and possibly the best pre-tour Phantom in my time around the activity (since 2014ish)

    And maybe another Zingali?  (I believe the key staff are on a five year contract.  Like the PGA player who wants to make their move on Saturday, this third year may be when the corps makes their move upward in the standings.)

    Much of the staff does in fact share this feeling. The last two seasons were build-up to this. Now is when they're ready to make their jump.

    I'm pretty sure you mean costumes. Very few corps still wear anything that resemble uniforms any more. 

    Hate to disappoint, but many groups who switched from the general definition of uniforms to the general definition of costumes in recent years will be going back to uniforms.

    As someone who is marching this show I'll just say this. We are certainly working our tails off but man is this show fun.

    Can vouch for how hard these guys are working, and the show deserves it. It might be the toughest one in the activity this season
