I'm starting a death metal marching band.

[Beware the Beast Man]

I even have a working band name: Death March (lame, I know).

By default I am the conductor/drum major.
I need woodwinds, brass, percussion, everything. What can you play?

on edit- if any trumpet players can emulate Tom Araya's scream in "Angel of Death," that would be a plus!

[StopTheMorans]

1. you might ask Lynnesin for some tuba player referrals

I hear that they "have skills"...

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Damn right they do!

I was a tuba player- I can finger a D# like no other!

[ChoralScholar]

19. uh... first valve?

[Beware the Beast Man]

23. My gosh, I completely forgot.

I guess it's easier than I thought. :)

[EstimatedProphet]

2. That's good!

How about a bagpiper?

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. It's been done...

Korn.

But we'll let you in anyway!

[RandomKoolzip]

3. I can percuss and I can growl like that guy in Napalm Death.

Is there corps paint involved?

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. I figure the drum corps could hang bloody heads from their roto-toms.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. You didn't like my pun?

:cry:

I worked on that one for seconds!

[ghostsofgiants]

16. I laughed at the pun, KoolZip

Puns are the highest form of comedy.

7. Band Geeks

Quite possibly the funniest SpongeBod episode ever.

9. Have I ever mentioned my Jazz Cymbalist career?

No? Really I haven't?

[XNASA]

10. The Triangle

[CanuckAmok]

11. This one time? At Death Metal Marching Band Camp?

I dropped my baton? And it landed right in Martin Ain's eye.

12. Can you use a french horn?

We never played Death Metal in high school but I might be able to fake it.

13. the dulcimer.

but it's kinda hard to play while marching.

interested?

[mzteris]

14. seeing as how

I haven't touched my trumpet in about 10 years - I'd probably sound like the *scream* if I even tried to play it!

:rofl:

[ContraBass Black]

15. Will you goose-step

In time?

[anarch]

17. how the hell is someone going to play the double kick-drums while marching

?

[MrSlayer]

22. Two hands, two mallets.

Not too hard to replicate. The drum holds itself up.

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. You'll need uniforms

May I suggest...

[tigereye]

20. for some inane reason

I am trying to picture what they would wear.... I always wanted to be in the marching band, but I only played piano. :cry: Somehow I suspect I would never fit into a death metal version.


plus, there might be a really amusing video in this concept, BWTBM.

[MrSlayer]

21. You might need a soprano sax for the scream.

I don't think a trumpet is high enough.

[xmas74]

24. May I join?

I used to play the trumpet, baritone, tuba, French horn, mellophone and flugelhorn.
I can also play a bugel.
I was all-state in jazz trumpet so I could give it a shot.
