Okay, so I've realized that Being a music group, we preform ALOT. So, what was the most interesing place you've preformed in? And, what's the most interesting thing that has happened to you during a preformance?
For me, I preformed in Disneyland, and it was AWESOME. the most interesting thin that's ever happened to me was when we were at an elementary school, they all had to do the "listening" symbol, so all 300 kids did the loser sign x3. Also, our drummer did a solo, and a bunch of kids yelled, "Bang it HARDER!" enough said.

Well, marching on a baseball field was quite the experience. xD
This was for a bowl game that was in a ballpark...they converted it to a football field, obv, but it was just strange. Like, the end zone extended onto the dirt.

Two places that were very interesting for me. One was Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The second was the Georgia Dome for the Chik-fil-a Bowl.
Nothing strange really happened but we did have like five shoes come off during a marching contest.

The alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. played there twice for state and BOA super regionals! and made finals for both..
nothing strange happened but some people's reactions was fun to watch when they go " holy s**t! those eyes are crazy!" we had eyes as our props this year(real eyes, it moves, winks, blinks!). it was pretty awesome:]

Haha, I just remembered an interesting thing that happened during a performance.
We were marching in a parade and right in front of us were these Civil War reenactors, and they conveniently started shooting off their guns and stuff once the colorguard got in front of the band. Well. You can guess how fast our ladies hightailed it out of there.

I performed at the Cannon Center in downtown Memphis, right on the river. It was an amazing stage, and my BD wasn't lying when he said it was the best stage to perform on.

Hm, either it was marching on a parking lot or marching on a soccer field...
I guess the both tie for me! XD

Performing on the stage at OSU is nice, but there are 2 major problems:
1. The percussion sound goes out to the balcony
2. There are no ramps on or off the stage. In the 8th grade my friend and I pushed our xylophone, among other things, all the way around the building, on the grass, and missed most of the clinic.

the most interesting place that the band every played at was our elks club, it was for the christmas ball and the room was to small, so we had to play in the hallway and just let the music float in, the hall way made an interesting echo, and really threw everybody off.....

Mirienne Well, marching on a baseball field was quite the experience. xD This was for a bowl game that was in a ballpark...they converted it to a football field, obv, but it was just strange. Like, the end zone extended onto the dirt. our state competitions r always at tropicana field. if ur baseball fans, u know it's the Tampa Bay Rays home stadium. so i know how u feel, well not exactly cuz last time they went to state finals, i was still in 8th grade. (i'm a sophomore) The strangest place i had to play was, well didn't really play but it was strange, was an elementary school. why it's strange is bcuz we went a month earlier than we were supposed to lol. we got to the school and were able to get out of class and all of a sudden, the principal came to my bd and told him, "drug free week is next month, i'm sorry!" so he came bursting out laughing and said, "ok put ur instruments back in their cases and go ahead and board the bus! it is the 23rd of next month, not this month." omg we still make fun of him bcuz of that!

It was a while ago. My high school band and jazz band played in Washington DC in the rotunda. I was in the jazz band. It was actually a little stuffy - very formal, but since I got to listen to the symphonic band play (since I wasn't in it) - I was very impressed by the event.

We were 'caroling' in our school. We had to play for the principals... So, the office was the most interesting, and tight place. xP

Oh yeah.
We also played in front of the school office, the OSU and U of O fight songs before the civil war. We were bargaining for something, but I don't remember what.
