Playing a little ditty

[evan_li]

Man, I need to practice - time is bad and it was sorta dirty. But it's somewhat amusing nonetheless.

That's really cool. :) You should take the drum along to MFF. :P

[evan_li]

Ha ha, oh my god, that'd piss off so many people and we'd never be invited back!

[hungrywolf_84]

That's still a pretty good job on the drums though. I just wish I could see your real face maybe once in while, haha.

[evan_li]

Heh, yeah.

[gildedtongue]

Considering you can't see what the heck you're doing in that thing, I'd say you're doing pretty good in that! :)

And I think the drum would work really well in the fursuit parade!

[evan_li]

Forward visibility is alright, but I can't see down unless I move my head. The biggest problem is actually holding onto the sticks. I'm surprised I can even play at all.

Hmm, that would be pretty funny, actually. I can't play for extended periods of time though. It'd be pretty awesome if someone could bring a bass drum.

Damn! I think it was pretty good myself. Though I figured with the paws on that the sticks would go flying if you went too fast. :P

[evan_li]

Heh, thanks. I was able to whip out some swiss army triplets, cheeses and flam fives, but it's still kinda dirty. The suit makes it funny though.

Oh god, holding onto the sticks is so hard! Good thing marching sticks are enormous in the first place.

Ah, brings back memories from marching band.

[evan_li]

Nice. What'd you play?

[gavyn_lumier]

Alto Saxophone. All 4 years in high school, plus one year in college. I left after college though. The caliber of the band at my university was far lower than what I was used to in high school.

They were shocked when they learned we were trained to memorize our music in high school. I was the only one who didn't own a lyre.

I take it you were in a BOA style band? College bands don't really operate the same way as competition high schools and follow a more "old-school different show a week" kind of thing.
