Edmund Fitzgerald. Appropriate since it looks like this show is about to sink.

The rain should last about 45 mins to an hour. The embedded heavier rain will hit in about 10 minutes and last about 5-10 minutes. That's also when lightning around the stadium is most likely.

I went back and watched phantom. I see what people are seeing in the visual faults. There's some bits that just don't go together visually. But the musical pacing is fine and great to me.

Their show makes no sense at all to me. It seems they just wonder around and every now and then they hurry and form a square or triangle and play a really loud note.

It certainly has nothing do with the title. At least they are trying something different from a stupid story where somebody gets killed. And they surely need some fresh leadership.

There's a DVR function, you know...

Yep - I'm watching Madison again. Need some more of that.

I'm starting to see rain on the camera feed, I believe.

They feed better hold until I enjoy SCV one more time!

Good points. Cadets certainly have a lot of firepower when it comes to performers, but if they don't clean the feet then you could be right. Dirty feet kill music captions fast. To me Cavaliers have a solid, well thought out show, and the visual drill and guard integration is stellar. But I do not think GE is their strong point. But I'm also not a judge. One thing is for sure, the Cavaliers are very good.

I don't think GE on the musical side is a strong point for the Cavaliers, although I like this show, musically, more than I've liked a Cavies music book in a long time. I do, however, feel the Cavies should score high on the visual side of GE. The Cadets, IMO, are suffering from a less than stellar visual design. I can't believe they won brass with the demanding drill they had last year. It was a well deserved win, IMO. I just think the Cadets show this year, from a design standpoint, isn't even on the same level as their show last year - musically or visually. Yes, they have firepower when it comes to performers, which is why I think they can win brass and percussion, but it won't be enough to get them above 4th, IMO.

From what I saw on the other thread is that the Cadets had to restart their show because there was an issue with the violin players mic. Probably a penalty of some sort since they set back up from the beginning

Interesting.

I would think the corps would have a Plan B which is to play any solo with a mic out on the keyboard. I bet most spectators would not be able to pick up the difference between LIVE and pantomime if the performer kept going.
