Collective Foal

Okay, so I was going to record Pinkie's Brew today. Apparently, douchebag dad took the tablet back... for no apparent reason... again. Whatever. I'll get to it eventually. Oh, thanks for the fix, Shiny. I don't know what I did wrong with the embed.

Yea, being my first vid, I don't plan on doing it in every vid. Just the beginning to kickstart things. Camera is poor mostly because of the lighting. In better light, it actually looks okay. I know it cuts off. I had it on a five second timer, and I know the damn thing signaled it was recording. But whatevs. I'll make a revised edition in the future.

6/10 Eh... Not that great a quote.

I already now what's wrong with it:

1: The Sixteenth note slur is never properly done. Very difficult maneuver as it requires quickly crossing octaves.

2: A couple squeaks transitioning from C to D as it crosses octaves, because it's a student model from a shit company.

3. Ending unsuccessful, as I had to, again, cross on a rapid partial arpeggio.

4. Too nervous. Need to relax so I play it like I do when I practice.

But yea, If you've got anything else, throw it at me, but don't be too blunt about it. I don't need someone else pointing out that I'm mediocre.

10/10 What has been heard cannot be unheard.

Hark, I declare this joke to be OLD!

New things... Need new things.

But umm... You should check out that sax cover. I uhh... I hear it's pretty good.

That sucks man!

 

I'm not quite familiar with what at "chart", "company front", or "gate move"

I'm going to assume that a chart is a set of corrdinates based on yard lines and hashes while a gate move is a rotation of a block of marchers? Maybe a company front is a waht we call a "slide" where we move directly across the field. Our school does things a bit bass ackwards.

You nailed chart on the head. Just a packet of papers with positions of the people on the field.

A gate is when a line of people rotate the line from one end, the way my door would open if it were attached to it's hinges and not sitting in the corner of my room.

A company front is when the entire band assembles in a couple lines, making a long shallow rectangle, and we march straight towards the home stands.

Says the guy who went to BronyCon...

I just uploaded my sax cover. Let the road to possible success begin... maybe.

Sorry for the double-post, but that post would've been so damn long that my OCD, minor as it is, wouldn't allow it.

Anyways, Saxobrony just made his first upload. It's not my best, and the mic is meh, and the camera is meh, but it was the best of like 10 takes, so I gave up and uploaded it.

I've busted my ass all summer for him and Ive gotten payed. But he wont give my door back ever it seems...

Its summer. Istay up til my body says nope and shuts down.

Currently listening to the end credits of LotR rolling downstairs. Celtic music is so relaxing...

Pinkie figured that one out. And LS, we cant have sheds in my neighborhood and while I can go outside, it would probably irritate neighbors and reading music out there is too difficult with wind and all.

Dad took the door off because I was using my iPod when I had an assignment half done that was due in about 3 days.

It's absolutely gorgeous outside. God I love this weather...b

Hooves, your mom makes a great point. Those pews are terrible on your lumbar...

Jek, the Horoscope thing pretty much hits the nail on the head. Funny how I actually conform to that. I am a very stubborn assholen:lol:

Jesus christ. Lately, my mind has been dropping abolutely massive nostalgia bombs on my face. I was listening to some Silva Hound (Everyponys Bangin) and for some reason, was randomly happened upon by a really nice memory of my Great Grandmother. We got smoothies at some place down in Middletown. It was one of those simple happiness kinds of things... I dunno. Just thought Id share.

I already mentioned it to the entire sax section. See, one kid was trying to figure out where he'd heard the name Soarin and that it sounded like it was from a cartoon. I mean I HAD to. But nobody thought anything of it.

Silly Apple,

Computers that operate on a resoectable level for an even more respectable price are for PCs!

Laying in my room, waiting for my dad to suddenly die so I can practice my sax and attempt at YouTube fame.

^ Lies.

Rarity acts classy and all, but she's the exact type of white chick to fall in love with a big black c*** and when she gets pregnant the baby daddy jumps ship and she's left with a son she can hardly take care of.

Edit: Surprised I havent seen this in the thread before.

This ones about marching band.

I'm in a excellent texas marching band (state champs!!!) and we have very high standards in marching and in music. I understand spending 4 hours in the morning working on technique and drill. I also can understand spending 4 hours working on show music for memorization. What can't understand is spending the 4 hours that should have been spent on the show music on learning our stand tunes like they were orchestral pieces. We seriously spent 3 and a half hours on the syncopated rhythm in Boogie Wonderland(

at 0:33)

 

For the musicality hearted its basically just all upbeats (and) an 1 downbeat (4).

 

And we spent about 7 hours collectively working on a measure of our show that is completely irrelevant without the preceding and following measures.

And that we have to stand the entire time, do stepouts (2 forward and backward marching steps) everytime we start a measure (pretty much 8 counts). So 8 counts at 160 BPM is a stepout sequence every 20 seconds. So 3 times per minute for 240 minutes gets up to about 720 stepout sequences with 4 steps each. 2880 steps times the .57 meter step size leads to about 1.6 km. Going nowhere. For no reason.

 

This leads to me really enjoying the hour of crossfit, 3 hours of drill in the morning, and the 2.5 in the afternoon with wonderful weather such as 105 with no clouds.

 

 

Still I'm sure it will all pay off in the end, it certainly has the past two years.

Ah that's better.

I'm in marching band as well, and on Friday, we dedicated a good 3 hours to stand music as well. To us though, playing Louie Louie and Centerfold is the best damn thing about band. We always have fun with it. We don't mind working on marching technique either, because march offs

However the most irritatingly retarded part is GOING THROUGH CHARTS. There are about 5 people in the whole damn band that understand how to march properly in show and move to fit the form. Thus, nobody can hold a straight line during a company front or a gate move. It's very irritating that every chart I have to instruct about 8 different freshmen to do this and not what they just did, only to have them repeat the mistake because they're thickheaded freshmen. So I feel your pain dude. Thing is this isn't even my vent.

So here goes:

MY FAMILY IS A BUNCH OF DOUCHEBAG PRICKS! Earlier my sister was incessantly playing Keyboard Cat over and over on her piano, at most times just hitting the playback button and playing it over and over again and listen to it. Now, she's 12 years old and it's not in her nature to actually care about a retarded tune, I'm under the impression she is just doing it to upset me. So I go over and ask her to close her door so I don't have to listen to her. She of course, in her self-entitled 12 year old voice, refuses. So I go to dad, who I have to fight over saying "go clean your room" to get my point across, gives eventually and tells her to shut her door when she's playing. She then turns down the volume so they can't hear and keeps playing without shutting her door. I go back to my dad still trying to tell me to go away whilst I tell him the problem, so they call her down and tell her not to, while she explains that she wasn't actually playing. Mom, being the only intelligent sensible unbiased person in the family, tells her that regardless, if she hears the piano or flute playing and her door is open, she's getting her ass whooped

So, I go back to my own room and clean up, then I get out my music to practice for marching band and for the YouTube channel I'm trying to open up. About 30 seconds in, dad hollers for me, asks me if my room is clean, which it is, and tyen asks me "Why are you trying to irritate your sister?" Now mind you, dad removed my bedroom door months ago, so I can't shut it when practicing. I tell him I'm not trying to irritate her, I'm just practicing for the band that I'm actually part of and expected to practice for. I tell him that I'm actually practicing unlike her, as she simply presses keys and then hits the playback. So, being as he is a total jackass, he tells me I can't practice until later. So I ask why, and he tells me that ever recurring answer "because I said so." I'm pretty sure I know the answer is "because I like your sister more and even though you're the more talented musician, she should be the one who's allowed to do as she pleases while you have to be my slave whom I constantly opress for my own benefit."

I fucking hate both of them. I always wonder why I can't have a good relationship with my sister, then I realize that it's because every time I try to be nice, she acts like a complete bitch just to piss me off. So it's not my fault, I guess, thoug I'm sure my father would say that even when you do something nice for your sister and she returns the favor by yelling insensible bullshit in your ear and calling the dogs away from you when you're obviously trying to spend time with them and not sharing food with you when you recently bought her gum and candy, her reasoning for selfishness being "You didn't HAVE to get me that," that I should still be nice to her regardless. I feel like that would be difficult for anyone...

^ HA! I C WUT U DID DAR!

But anyways, flipping out that KIRKY'S BACK!

Eww....

I'm disgusting and find that very pony...

Well Chuck quit, so we still need 2 more. At this point we'll just call it quits I guess...
