btracht Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) In looking at Phantom's schedule this week, it would seem that their schedule is perfect for working on cleaning up their visual and closing the gap: two rehearsal days, a free day (with just a bit of rehearsal), a rehearsal day, and a show day. BD wins Friday Night. Phantom wins Saturday Night (Referring to Allentown- Clarified from original post) . Close scores. Should make for an exciting finish next week!

ajlemm Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 eh. I wouldn't put my money on it.Maybe second place. You never know! I am so excited for Allentown to see the difference, although BD and PR aren't going head to head per se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newseditor44 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 According to their schedule, they have three more shows, the rest is travel, rehearsal, and a day off in Washington D.C. (I think that was today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84skyrydr Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hope they don't get the treatment the Colts got after a layoff. If so ,they drop 3-5 points and four or five spots.... I really hope they get the Blue Knight treatment. That would be enough for first with a 101.50. Go Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob984 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The opportunity is certainly there......when you have 40-54 hours of rehearsal time available, the opportunity to get alot done is there....hopefully they will tighten up the visual performance, because musically they are right where they need to be.....

jmc5682 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Wishful thinking by Thread Creator, but anythng is possible. I dpn't think phantom is behind because they are dirtier, I believe they are behind visually because of inferior design to BD and Cavies. My predicition, BD increases spread over Phantom to 1.8 but their spread with Cavies shrinks to 4 tenths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perc2100 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I dpn't think phantom is behind because they are dirtier, I believe they are behind visually because of inferior design to BD and Cavies. Totally agree. IMO, their show reminds me of last year's Bluecoats (except better, IMO). They can add as much 'smoke and mirrors' they can with characterization and other stuff like that, but none of that masks a flawed visual design that will keep Phantom from truly competing. Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate the proficiency of their brass and percussion programs (I _LOVE_ their percussion section), and their show has grown on me quite a bit through out the season. It's probably my wife's favorite show, and I think it is one of the first shows in a long time (that I can think of) that has truly succeeded in blending and 'old school'/throw back design (taking a classic Regiment show) and updating it to be successful for modern times. Their music performance will keep them in the Top 3, but their visual design will keep them from a Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
