Band Practice - Thursday

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

By the time Music 101 is over, Ted is asleep under the keyboard, snoring loudly after having come down from a killer sugar high. Professor Beethoven is still around and writes neatly on the board in the English he has learned from Bill and Ted.

"Please separate into your most triumphant bands and decide what you would like to play for the end of semester Battle of the Bands. You have two weeks to decide, dudes."

He then signs it 'L. van Beethoven.'

[OOC: Guys, this class requires participation and interaction for it to operate. It isn't going to work if only a few people show up, so please try to at least give some input when decisions need to be made. Once you've got your song chosen, you can just pretend you've practiced during the week and progressively get better. I'll throw in some fun twists once this part is done. Maybe even a field trip and more guest teachers to interact with.]

((sorry our band seems to have major timing issues))

Paige sits down and seriously considers a song like, "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

Burning Record

Murphy brought his guitar to class, figuring they would probably need to start with the instruments sooner than later. He spends a few minutes making sure it's in tune while waiting for the others.

"So," he says once they've all arrived. "Anythin' in particular we're wantin' ta do music-wise?"

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

So, we lost our drummer.

Anybody got a song they wanna play? Anybody got a song they really don't wanna play?

Paige looks up and nods, wiping her eyes, she sighs. "I wouldn't mind doing Depeche Mode or something like that."

Lane eats an extra twinkie she brought from Music 101, waiting for her bandmates to show.

[wannabelawyer.livejournal.com]

Depeche Mode is cool.
I was hoping for something a little heavier on the guitar, but I can be flexible.

Paige smiles, "they use guitars, how about In Your Room?"

((I'm no good with downloading or even finding stuff but if you could find it somewhere it's a great song with guitars, we could see if someone can stick it on FandomHitunes))

[OOC: Band Practice is just "Thursday afternoon/evening", so it can be arranged to meet later in the day once she's back]

Sonia think for a moment, then shrugs, while she gets to work tuning her violin.

"I'm not particularly picky, so if there's anything you'd specifically like to do?"

[OOC: Yay! Sonia's back! I like Sonia :D]

[OOC: Thank you! Class wouldn't be the same without Frood Dudette.]

[OOC: You're in Music 101, not Band Practice (unless you want to sign up), but I check both threads for attendance each week anyway, so consider yourself back in!]

[OOC: Indeed, it vould not! :D]

I'm not fussy, just something with a nice steady beat, will do me just fine.

[sharon-valerii.livejournal.com]

[...*headdesk* Thanks. I'm just going to take my complete lack of reading comprehension and go to bed shortly.]

[OOC: Hee. *pats* Sleep. Sleep is good.]

Lily is here, quietly waiting, and wondering what's so special about 'twinkies' anyway.

I am "calling" my bandmates to leave a message about song selection, so some conversation may take place outside of class. I can report back to you tomorrow, if that's okay. :)

Re: ooc:

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

P.S. - lauraholt is not on the latest friending list, so perhaps she is gone?

Re: ooc:

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Thanks for the heads up. As long as you let me know who replied, it's all good. And I'll look into whether Laura is still around or not.]

Re: ooc:

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Did Oz ever reply to your 'phone calls'? He's the only one out of your band who didn't comment here.]

Re: ooc:

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

He replied once, and as a group, we got nowhere on the song selection. I'm hoping to beat it out of them yet...
