Cavies front takes the cake now that SCV is gone. Yeah. I was thinking that too. SCV won Sanfords often on the excellence of their pit giving them an edge v. other excellent battery units. The writing they got an executed was next level. I think this Cavies pit would have given even the Rennicks a legit run if SCV were here this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Rachmoninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto. The most traditionally Phantom selection in the show, but they also do a great job of avoiding the usually inevitable musical quote which becomes ALL BY MYSELF!!! These horn soloists on the props are just lush in their sound as well. Great build into the big moment of this movement! They bring it back down for a bit before hitting us once again, this time with the stabs that are closest to Eric Carmen, and then this glorious final chord and resolution. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has someone else played that song before? I feel like I've seen it on other setlists bluecoats 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those really evoke the look of outer space, which, with the theme of Exogensis, fits perfectly as the idea is that life here began out there. Boston’s guard costumes are hands down the best, most creative and most theme-right of the season. Just beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappybara Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Yeah, that's the ballad of the year in my book. No doubt about it, just a Phantom Regiment classic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Oh, THAT got people off their butts. Well done, Phantom. Tempo kicks back up, percussion does their thing, a big chord, and now the tubas are working hard laying down the bass line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
