Our school's Marching Band is gonna be on TV on Friday - VGF

Dark Magus · 08-25-2004, 03:53 PM

(Whether this goes in the Music, Education, or TV forum, I'm not sure. If a move is necessary, go ahead.)

Turns out Good Morning Atlanta is doing some sort of... thing on Friday morning (something that has to do with football or pep rallies or God-Knows-What) and as a result, we shall be live on TV...

... At Five AM.

So we get to be at school at 4:45 AM, do this, go through a day of school afterwards, then have a game that night. So I'll be at the school for around 15 hours straight friday. We won't be doing our "halftime show" in the morning, of course (it would look like **** if we tried to pull it off at 5 AM), so we'll be playing Stands Music. Because I wish to extend this post further to annoy you all, here's the songs (There's no way we'll play them all, I assure you):

Iron Man
Smoke on the Water
Night on Bald Mountain
Deebo (Some song from Friday, I think)
Crazy Train
Frankenstein
We Like to Party (AKA the song from the Six Flags commercial)
Still Fly
Jump On It
So Fresh, So Clean
The Whole World
My Band
Carry On Wayward Son
Never There
And two of our "Fight Songs"

I'll watch!

I have to get up early on Friday, anyway. I have my driver's exam. And I need to get used to waking up for school.

Blech...if my school did such a thing, I'd have to wake up at 3 AM to accomodate my shower and the drive. Of course I could take the shower the night before, but I wouldn't want to appear on TV with slept-on hair...

What channel?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I wasn't gonna wake up that early.

...What?

Princess Zelda of Hyrule · 08-27-2004, 02:38 PM

I forgot. Sorry. Too nervous for the exam...which I failed. In part.

Dark Magus · 08-28-2004, 12:09 PM

Doesn't matter, we only played two songs, which we looped over and over (lame, though I'm not surprised). But apparently we actually got more coverage than the cheerleaders, which is cool.

imported_Andrew · 08-29-2004, 08:13 PM

You got some awesome pep tunes.

The only 2 of those that we play are Crazy Train and Carry On.

What instrument do you play?

Flamethrower Mario · 09-05-2004, 06:00 PM

Haha.. Iron Man is our low brass song for this year

Tenor sax.

I used to be in band, but I quit after a year. Well, the sax WAS borrowed, and it kept buzzing. (I was most likely playing it wrong)

Anyway, good for your band. Getting there at 4:45 must suck terribly, but hopefully nothing will go wrong like a football player charging through or-Oh wait. That only happens if you're in the Stanford band. Never mind.
