    Apologies, I'm going to both, saying I'm going to prime in case anyone else is and wants to say hi.

    I can actually sing Sop2 and Alt 1 as well as Sop1, it's been a while since I have sang professionally and depending on the arrangement Sop1 might be... ambitious? We shall see, I'm pretty flexible.

    I would like to nominate doing an Ocarina of Time Medley! With just La-La's and Dom-Dom's etc. I think it would be a lot of fun!

    Who is going to PAX South?
  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Mayhaps we should all take this to email, for more rapid response? We need to choose songs and it's important that everyone's in on that conversation. If people PM me their email address (or email me at williamstome/at/msn/dot/com) I can start up an email chain :)

  • iltailta Registered User regular
    William, did people email you? I didn't hear back but I'm working on Want You Gone... with a special surprise in there I think you guys are gonna really like. :)

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Hey guys- here's a reminder to email me at williamsTomE@msn.com so we can get a private email chain going on this: 3 have responded to me so far.
    :) -Tom

  • iltailta Registered User regular
    Any updates on this, Tom? Should I keep arranging my JoCo?

  • IronPirateIronPirate Registered User regular
    I like this idea. Used to sing in College. T2 (sometimes T1 and Bari.)

  • RedBeastMageRedBeastMage Registered User regular
    I'm down, Tenor 1, college voice major, althought its been a few years.

    I swear, I'm retiring from any game with the word 'Revolution" in the title. I must be the only person who breathed a sigh of relief at not being called for the Omegathon this year.
  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Yes @Ilta, keep arranging! :)
    RBM, send me your email address!

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    ALSO: OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE: WE"RE STILL IN NEED OF ANOTHER LOW BASS OR BEATBOXER!

  • sfford2008sfford2008 Registered User regular
    I sang bass in my accapella group in college...I haven't sang in about a long time, but I think i would love to be a part of it!

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Awesome, if you want in, PM me your email address or email me at williamstome/at/msn/dot/com

    Kia Ora! I'm coming to paxEast from New Zealand, and can I say this sounds Awesome! Can I join as a baritone (b1) please? It's been a while but I used to sing in an amateur opera group in University. Not so good with sight singing, but I make up for it with lots of practice.

    This sounds awesome. I've done both school and church choir, and sing baritone. If this ends up being a thing, I'd definitely like to be a part.

  • lunestralunestra The Alchemist LowellRegistered User regular
    I am all for this. I can do alto and soprano 1. I plan to be at pax east all three days and could possibly meet with people who live in MA before the con to practice. I can do a little beatbox but nothing even close to professional

    Rather than singing cold when you all meet up, why not have a couple of sessions on Skype/TS/Vent not the best but at least it'll give you something to go on rather than hoping for the best at the event.

    i sing Tenor 1 and LOVE this idea. If you still need people I would love to join in.

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Hey all, we're looking for one S1 (High soprano)! Email me at williamstome@Msn.com if you're interested.

    Hey all, we're looking for one HIGH SOPRANO and one MEZZO SOPRANO to fill vacancies in our A CAPPELLA GROUP. We will be performing songs by the PROTOMEN and JONATHAN COULTON! If you're interested, please let me know ASAP at williamstome@msn.com :)

    Have you found a mezzo soprano yet? I am considering joining, but can't commit yet.

  • TheAggroCraigTheAggroCraig Ultimate Lucky Douchebag MassachusettsRegistered User regular
    So... judging by The ProtoMen's latest newsletter they may not be coming to PAX. They talk about how their show in March will likely be their last show until June, because they're going on the Vans Warped Tour for a few months... so don't get your hopes too high for doing this near their booth.

    Nothing is set in stone obviously, I'm just not getting my hopes up :/

    Sounds like people will just be missing Protomen songs then. Perfect! :)

    And we still have the Want You Gone arrangement if singing peoples' songs at them is a thing we want to do.

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    mtalmor yes we're still looking for a high soprano and a mezzo! Contact me at williamstome@msn.com if you're interested!

  • dyeingbraddyeingbrad Registered User regular
    I can do Tenor and Baritone but I am not that good since I am only in High school chorus but if you want me I'm there and I'd be glad to join in!

    This tweet seems to support that theory, unfortunately :\ I guess we'll know soon enough!

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Yeah it sounds like JoCo and Protomen won't be there, but hopefully people will appreciate our songs that much more!
    We're still looking for two more sopranos by the way ;)

  • iltailta Registered User regular
    So I haven't heard anything about this in a while, is it still happening? Should I be finishing up my arrangement?

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    Yes it's happening ilta, have you not gotten recent emails? Haven't gotten a response from you...

  • iltailta Registered User regular
    PM sent

  • williamstomewilliamstome Registered User regular
    By the way everyone we're still accepting women! PM me or email me at williamstome@Msn.com if you're interested!

  • ZedariusZedarius San Mateo, CARegistered User new member
    !!! I've been wanting to do this for a few years now. I can't believe this is happening.

    Full-time beatboxer / vocal percussionist here. Been doing it for 10 years. Would love to join! Did I miss the boat? *single tear*

  • blasianFMAblasianFMA Registered User new member
    Wait... there's a choral group forming and I find out too late [not accepting male voices]? Well that's just great.

  • blasianFMAblasianFMA Registered User new member
    So where are you guys singing?
