Hang Out and Post

[livvy]

Haha, no Spritzie, that play has been done with for a while. It went well. ^_^ This one is about a blossoming romance between two children in a school for the mentally unwell - one is OCD and obsessed with clocks and can't be touched, the other has split-personality disorder and adolescent schizophrenia. When performed right (which I don't mind admitting, we really aren't right now) it's quite touching. I have a really good role in it too. I think I have 5th most lines? And it's a decently large cast, so that's saying something.

 

We don't have the stage because Orchestra wants it to practice a concert. But we need it to practice the play that is happening BEFORE their concert. This always happens - someone takes our stage right when we need it. :angry:

[Tyler.]

I'm not a huge fan of school plays

and orchestra is taking it? do they even need it?

[livvy]

Not as much as we do. We really really need the practice. They can rehearse in their giant orchestra room.

[:)Doc]

Orchestra people generally think they're better than anyone ;) Just an F.Y.I.

 

Band knows we suck, and we accept it. -nodnod-

[livvy]

Really? Band at our school is great (and they know it.) Though orchestra does tend to hold itself a little higher than it deserves.

[:)Doc]

Eh. Our band has the potential. Our band director has bad asthma and is like always in the ER or traveling with his fam. And he's going back to College. So.. during our winter performance we had two really big and nice songs, that we played ok, while the Orchestra had like 6, and the Choir had like 10, but they were all just Christmas songs mixed up with words. :P And the dancers did pretty well

 

Then we had a play about Peter Pan. Explain the logic in that, from a winter performance.... <_<

 

But yeah, Band is basically the runaway shelter for us geeks -runsaway- *giggle* :D

 

And orchestra are the people who think they are better than everyone else :whistle:

 

Sorry I tend to rambe a bit... and get off-topic :P

I want to get started chatting on this topic, so now's as good a time as any to jump in (I have something relevant to post) :D

 

At my high school, the marching band is epic; they won just about every competition, and they are going to be in the Macy's 2011 parade. I came to college, and the marching band is such a disappoint (from what I've seen, I'm not actually in it or anything).

[The Score in Blue]

We don't have a marching band. We have a band and an orchestra, both of which are playing at prizegiving this week.

[:)Doc]

What's prizegiving? That sounds fun!

 

At my school district we don't have marching band until High School -dreams of marching next year- :)

 

However, our band director did take us to a few of our football games and play there (our 8th grade football team sucked. Won our last game. That's it.)

[jubinator]

Are you in either of them? I definitely don't participate. It was with much urging that I decided to do Ultimate Frisbee this year (although it's a club sport, so it doesn't exactly count), usually I just sit at home and play whatever computer game I'm into.

 

Edit: This avatar suits my personality perfectly

I have a complete lack of musical and social competence, so I have no idea what you guys are talking about. :P But my university doesn't really have a band or an orchestra, although we do have a drama club.

[livvy]

Do you have sports teams of any kind? Sports events are where bands are most often used. (Aside from competitions and occasional concerts.)

[antiaircraft]

Um... we do have some events, but no real teams. At least, none that I know of.

[livvy]

What kind of events? *is interested* I love learning abotu other cultures. Including the college culture (which is just as foreign to me as the Malaysian culture. :P )

[antiaircraft]

Well, we did have a sports carnival of some sort a few weeks back. I'm not sure exactly what it consisted of - all I remember was sitting by the window in the library trying to untangle a mess of assembly code and get it to run while a large crowd of people engaged in a lot of screaming outside. xD

[jumpingbeans]

Speaking of bands and stuff, what does everybody play as an instrument?

[:)Doc]

Alto Sax, Piano, and recorder! I don't play piano and recorder as much, but I still know how :P

 

Alothough I really wanna learn to play my Acoustic Guitar I got for me birthday and learn to play Tenor Sax in band :rock:

[antiaircraft]

I play the keyboard. The computer keyboard. :P And I can hum.

 

Seriously though, I have next to zero musical talent. Although I could still probably manage a basic tune or two on the piano.

[livvy]

Excellent talent there, Theo. ;)

 

I can play my vocal chords. :yes: But that's about it. Still, I'm pretty darned okay at it!

[antiaircraft]

Indeed you are Livvy! :yes: Now... are you sneaking in during class again? :snitch:

[livvy]

D'aww, thanks Theo. :*

 

And, er, no, *ahem* of course not. :shiftyeyes_anim: What ever gave you that idea?

[antiaircraft]

Oh, nothing. :P

 

Incidentally, it looks like you and Spritzie came online at almost exactly the same time... xD

[livvy]

Of course! We're twins. We share brainwaves like that. :yes:

[antiaircraft]

Heh, that reminds me of an awesome Dinosaur Comic... lemme dig that one up. Ah, here it is. So basically we're all using telepathy with our giant brains right now. xD

[livvy]

Which I would love to read, but cannot, as I AM in fact sneaking on during class (well, study hall) and thus have to use the school's super-filtered internet. :P
