Instead of actually teaching people what its called, lets just call it "Scary!!!" Whatever. I'm moving out of Music-major talk. Adios, Jeff

But we don't play "Scary" in A-band. I thought A-band was what we were talking about.

If you want to get into the topic of our marching band music, then that's a WHOLE other topic that would need a forum all to itself.

Sorry, I just got a mental image... can you imagine the drum majors actually calling it by its true name?

DMs: "OKAY, BAND! AFTER THE NEXT PLAY, INTRODUCTION TO BACH'S TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D!"
Low brass: "WHAT?? WE CAN'T HEAR YOU FROM BACK HERE! WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
DMs: "WE SAID, INTRODUCTION TO BACH'S TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D!!!"
Low brass: "WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!"
DMs: "Aw, screw it. SCREAMER!"
Low brass: "OKAY!"

Don't we play it in G minor though??

Hey, wait a mintue, what are you saying about the low brass?? That we're slow and can't pick up on what the DM's are saying??

And I'll proably be pleted with snowballs or rocks for this one...

Screamer? I don't even know her! (runs and hides)

Actually, what I was saying about the low brass is that they're farther away from the drum majors than anyone else is. Hence the "we can't hear you from back here." It wasn't meant as an insult.

But hey, if you want to open that door, go riiiiight ahead.

You guys call it "scary?" I love it! I would love to hear it played during the introduction of the opposing players in AA. They might be cool. I also would love to hear "Three Blind Mice" played when the officials make their entrance.

I know you didn't mean it as an insult, I was just goshin ya.

It is quite offten hard to hear up at the top of the band, and hand signals are our friends!!

I am SO suggesting Three Blind Mice to Dr. Hayward!!!! Or Ryan... since he could probably arrange that in his sleep. Dude, that would totally be worth a penalty- bwahaha!!

Who gets a penalty? All we need to do is start a new "spirit group" that happens to wear ref shirts and comes out just as the officials do

The band would just be introducing that group.

I have to say, I was pretty amused when I was at an NIU-BG men's basketball game last year over xmas break. When Kevin Netter fouled out (big surprise), their band started playing either Queen's "Another one bites the dust," or "Na na na na, hey hey hey, good bye." It was one of the two. But its stuff like that, where you can inject comedy and energy into the crowd that I think we're missing sometimes. However, the afformentioned playing of "Respect" last week was quite funny. OK, see ya at the UT game, Carlson

We've asked them to let us play the Muppets when the opposing team comes out...

I agree that is hilarious... it would be awesome to play "another one bites the dust" when they lose a player... heck... maybe hockey A-Band should play it each time someone *from the opposing team* get sent to his rightful seat in "the box" Now that would be awesome...
