Yes, radar looks bad. I was going to say they had to delay the show in order to retrieve all the babies thrown on the field after Phantom lit the joint up like a Christmas tree.

I love Phantom's show this year (LOVE IT) but seriously regret that they changed the big hit in the slow movement to add all these fancy decrescendos.  That hit was DEVASTATING early in the season, and now its less.  Why did they change it?

True to the source music. The original composition is written that way.

Not to pee on the festivities, but Phantom’s mellos are…raw. 😒

In the big sustained moments they sound solid to very good, but in the diatonic and chromatic runs they are very rough. To be fair, the brass book Phantom is playing is incredibly difficult. Frankly, their brass book is more demanding than some of the top 5 corps this summer, and on par with some of the best. The endurance required of them with this book is very demanding. And they play a lot.

I have a feeling this one might not be getting done...

I would love to be wrong but that radar looks terrible
