denverjohn Posted August 4, 2025 Posted August 4, 2025 Reliable Rondo is known for choosing a favorite "ballad moment" from one corps in the middle tier of finalist level corps. Who will he pick this year? I am predicting it will probably be Crown or Phantom. PS: Could someone please name those 2 musical pieces for me? (I couldn't discern them from the Flo repertoire listings) Honorable mention to Blue Stars "The Winner Takes It All". 1 Quote
KVG_DC Posted August 4, 2025 Posted August 4, 2025 I was gonna say, Blue Stars "Winner Takes It All" is a contender for this one. 3 Quote

Phantom’s is Funeral by the Sea by Ramin Djawadi (from House of the Dragon) Crown’s is Symphony No 5 by Gustav Mahler Quote

Chief Guns Posted August 4, 2025 Posted August 4, 2025 I am going to shout out the Mandarins ballad which for one is awesome, and two, seems to be one of the fan favorites based on the positive comments in the show threads this summer. 2 1 Quote
HouserCD Posted August 4, 2025 Posted August 4, 2025 Isn’t it great when there are so many corps performing ballads that are outstanding. To name a few… and in no order. Crown “Symphony #5 Adagietto” Mahler Phantom “Funeral by the Sea” Djawadi Blue Stars “The Winner Takes It All” Andersson, Ulvaeus Blue Knights “Theme from Cast Away” Silvestri Mandarins “When the Party's Over” O’Connell Quote
