Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

that should be the one you get off
band camp was some rough times when I was in HS. junior year it hit 105 three days in a row. cabins with no A/C.
I didn't discover that for most high schools "band camp" just means two-a-days at the high school until after I graduated
boy, that was some nerdrage
before that we have summer band, which is an every other day thing for a month or so
then, during the marching season, we practice twice a week after school for 3 hours
also, we play at all the games, home and away, and there are usually competitions on the weekends
Yup
this is exactly what it's like for me
Holy hell, twice a week?
I remember leaving football practice and seeing them still practicing in the parking lot. This was Mon-thurs.
My high school was pretty cool though. There was no jock/band nerd bullshit. Hell, one of our offensive linemen was a tuba player. The only real dicks were the lacrosse players, and even then it was a select few.
Really wish our principal would have let us form a bowling team though.
man, you just gave me the best idea for a club
also, I'm friends with a lot of the football dudes, but a lot of them are douchebags, my friends included
still, it isn't as band as tv and movies show it
Those pedals are all kinds of confusing. I know how they work in theory, but I would absolutely shit myself if anyone asked me to even try learning how to actually play it.
Ya it has a lot, it's because of the pedals that you can do all the crazy glissandos on it. Like, you can really only gliss one scale on the piano, the C major scale (the white keys), but on the harp you can gliss pretty much any scale. Each note has a pedal attached to it that you can either put in the neutral position, the upper or lower position. If you put the 'C' pedal in the upper position than all of the C's become sharp, and if you put it in the lower position than all of them become flat. Since there's a pedal for all the notes you can make all sorts of crazy scales and then just run your finger up and down and bam, you've got yourself the background music for all cheesy TV flashbacks.
edit: so ya by a lot I mean 7.
Oh, I thought harps were chromatic, are the strings C major for 4 octaves, edited by the pedals then? Because I am pretty sure the little harps, that you can carry and whatever are like 1 and a 1/3 octace chromatic
chatted with my dad over the weekend
dude played all kinds of brass in high school
these are fake french horns but I have played this score in a for real orchestra and it is awesome and the horns sound ridiculously bad ass.
