Rating: 4 out of 51st Half not so great; 2nd Half great
by JudgeRickFirst on 2/19/18Southern Theatre - ColumbusFirst part of program was so-so. Guest vocalist with the dee-doo-bee-boop was way too much. Her voice was starting to get a little nerving by end of that program portion. In other aspects of her program, vocal was very good.
Second part of program was a real winner. Fantastic drum performance - high performance, unusual and just right amount. Conductor's solos were superb and enjoyable as always. He makes it look so easy. Only draw down to second part was trombone solo. Noticed several weak spots that appeared almost as if she had missed some notes. Not much volume to performance.
I recommend this event to a friend for 20% of 1st part, and 95% of 2nd.
footnote: this was 1st time sitting upstairs (2nd level), and acoustics were noticeably inferior than downstairs
