They took the high mark time and goose step, it appears. Good call.

Yeah, as impressive as that might have been when cleaned, they just weren't getting it cleaned at all.

OK, now that we have some answers, I have an additional question.

One would think that if there's too much of this "thunderous goo," staffs would take steps to reduce that. Why don't they?

Something in the brains of designers and judges is broken?

Seriously, has anyone ever heard a judge or designer admit that what we all hear actually exists?

It's just bizarre.

I've always said this:   BITD when Drum Corps bass was just the contras on the field, folks were used to hearing movies in barely Hi-Fi and TV in No-FI.  These days, it's 7.1 and even 7.2 Surround Sound.  People want subwoofers at the movies, watching TV, listening to music.  To "modern" ears, contra-only Drum Corps sounds anemic.  Just my $0.02.

Amazing that Phantom has been considered "much improved" by many and is winning over the crowd, yet they are projected to place 12th.

TWELFTH.

still not a fan of messing with the chord structure in FOEG. it's about the most perfectly-written hymn ever created. over-arranging it just kills it. 

As does jamming the dang drums in the middle of it.

Phantom is not giving up their spot in Finals without a fight  - and there is a lot of fight being shown in this performance.  They have dramatically improved and I have a feeling it is about to start paying off.    (When I saw them on opening night they were quite weak - lots of hard work is evident in today's performance.)  It is not one of my favorite shows, but you have to give them credit for selling it.
