You kinda need to force that, since the mages will otherwise run out of mana, even with Ballad.
Typically you can avoid it by having the Bard Soul Voice Ballad everyone before he starts the Meteor Rain. That way everyone is getting a full potency Ballad before the mayhem starts and the Bard wont be running around like a chicken with his head cut off tryin to reapply it when mages need it most.
