Wow, you're versatile. :'D I only play alto sax, a little piano, less guitar, and self taught clarinet. I want to learn the harp. I love the sound.

I'm sure he'll see your love of music and pick it up. I saw my mom play her piano as a kid and knew I wanted to do music.

I want Rockband. D:

[fashion zombie harlot]

i love it and cant wait for the second one.

sadly, guitar hero went down and is "attempting" to make it more like rockband.

-.- guitar hero is just mad that they didnt think of the good thing first

(im off for a while. baby wants food and hubby wants chinese, so we're going out.ttyl)

[Hooseki]

I never played Guitar Hero. Rockband seems way better, imo.

Bye and have fun out. :'D

=========================
I don't get the big deal with Rock Band and Guitar Hero. It doesn't seem like your even simulating a real instrument. It seems like pressing buttons.... with style.

But anyway, force your kid to be in Marching Band. I don't care if you think it's wrong to force things on your child, force him into Marching Band. That is where you learn things.

You said you were going to awaken him or something at birth. How do you know that will actually do anything?

[Hooseki]

Rock Band also has a mic. You can't fake singing. D:

Learn things? You mean like "This one time, at band camp. . . ?"

=========================
Why not spend your time actually playing the real thing and actually singing your own songs?

And I'm being serious here. Marching Band is good for you. It's more physically and mentally demanding than other sports, you learn a fine art, you get discipline, you learn morals, and a lot of career benefits. Colleges like giving scholarships to band students. Many of the best lawyers and doctors and presidents were in band. And band kids aren't made fun of nearly as much as the media portrays they do.

[Hooseki]

Because I have massive stage fright.

I would have done Marching Band, but Chorus took over my life the first half of high school and my Graphic Arts classes took over the second half. D:

[Renodin]

=========================
I have stage fright. I got over it with after my first 4 years of band, though.

And that's everyone's excuse. Really, Marching Band doesn't take too much time. An extra hour before or after school, and up a few late hours on nights that your school has football games. Excuses, excuses. Oh well, I should have figure. Only Ace Attorneys and Men can be in Marching Band, not some computer AI claiming to be a gurl.

[Hooseki]

At my high school, Marching Band took over lives. D: My best guy friend back then was in MB. He was at school an hour early every day and stayed late every day. I only saw him in homeroom. I couldn't do Chorus and MB at the same time. Practices overlapped like whoa. Plus, Chorus was full of competitions, singing at nursing homes, and performances out of state. D:

=========================
Your pride in chorus offends the true pride of the world that is Marching Band.

Repent for your sins.

[Hooseki]

I refuse. I have done nothing wrong. I loved Chorus. Unlike you band people, we weren't cheating by making music with man made instruments. We were using 100% natural ones. talk2hand Besides, the band teacher at my school was an a**.

[Renodin]

=========================
There is something you don't know. We aren't playing man made instruments. We are just using our diaphragms and embouchures. The instruments are just there to amplify the sound. Put your lips together like you were saying "mmmmm". Now blow through air to make a buzzing noise. That is all a brass player's music is. The brass instruments just amplify the sounds.

And band teachers are supposed to be asses. If they weren't, the band would suck. And you get to love those big poopies after 3-7 years with them.

[Hooseki]

Good try. You may use your diaphragm to blow, but you're still using keys for notes.

I hated him and he wasn't even my teacher. The whole band hated his guts.

[Renodin]

=========================
Tsk, tsk tsk. You are nothing compared to Albion, m'dear.

The keys don't change the air at all. They just block off passages in the instruments and force the air to go through separate tunnels, some narrow, some large. This of course makes it sound different. But still, we are just playing with air and nothing more.

And you don't know a mean band teacher until he threatens to murder you and hide the body, followed by hitting you with his button and throwing a shoe at you. And even then you learn they just care about you to death.

[Hooseki]

Still, you're using a man made object to make notes. Yes, you are using air you blow out of your little lungs, but it is the man made object that makes the sound pretty. Or horrible, depending on how well one plays. Without the aid of said object, you'd just look like a SpEd.

He was an a** to everyone, not just his band kids.
