THEdevilYOUknow Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 In Phantom's opener, that tuba soli always sounds a shade late to me. Anyone else hear it that way? I know the staff has heard it. They got after the tubas for it at one rehearsal back in early July. I don't know why it's still an issue though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 There's just a lot of refinement issues in the hornline. Laser tone, missed releases, blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelloNell Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It has been argued that the pose is meant to parody all the squat moves other corps make. Don't know if that's true.

Kamarag Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Sorry for nitpicking Phantom's hornline They've really improved a lot though over the last couple of weeks after what I thought was a *really* rough and atypical Phantom early season. Not perfect by any means, but a better brass line than BAC (but not BK). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the performer isn't willing or able to make the adjustment, all the rehearsal in the world won't fix it, even to the point of tuning sharp.

Forevergreen Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think it is the arrangements that I do not like about Phantom's show this year...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellaran Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Much improved but needs a couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Phantom's costume change was inspired by Buccaneers' "Black Symphony", right? Starts in the battery backfield, goes from light to dark? Yea, this was a Bucs move all the way. Mid-show uni changes have been all the rage the last three years. Some work, some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelloNell Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Still don't like the Inca head pieces. They are definitely not Lacroix! Edited August 2, 2014 by MelloNell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
