Utility Tariff not calculating midPeak

I have a time of use electricity schedule and there's a couple weird things going on with it. First, the summer blocks are being used a month early, but at the same time the summer midPeak energy is not being calculated in that first erroneous month, but is being calculated correctly for the months after. Here's a google drive link to the file. I know it's probably a silly mistake on my part, but there aren't that many places to look for errors. There's the season schedule, TOU schedule, Utility Tariff and Block objects. Any idea what's going on?

The season schedule definitely has summer starting 6/1 too.

The only Block with midPeak is during Summer, so I can't figure it out.
