The Band of the Red Hand

Everyone please welcome Hallia! For now Hallia please read the threads you can read until our leader Jea or one of our other Senior Staff can get your request in. *slides Hallia a few guinnys*

Just take those old records off the shelf I'll sit and listen to 'em by m'self Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock and roll Don't try to take me to a Disco You'll never even get me out on the floor In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door I like that old time rock and roll Still like that old time rock and roll The kinda music just soothes the soul I reminisce about the days of old With that old time rock and roll Won't go to hear 'em play a Tango I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul There's only one sure way to get me to go Start playin' old time rock and roll Call me a relic call me what'cha will Say I'm old fashioned say I'm ov…

I was just wondering if we have some sort of skype group or other way of all of us chatting?

There is a small Band project that needs someone with photoshop experience, specifically, with textures. Please message me if that applies to you, and you have time to do a quick project. Thanks!

Welcome to the Band Vambram! I'm Davrick the XOA and will be there to help you out while you're a raw recruit with our XO Brid once your usergroups are all updated. In the meantime, feel free to post wherever you have access and get to know the rest of us. Once again welcome!!! *slides Vambram a few Guinys*

A quick warning for the second musical of the month. The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) classifies The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a 15. As such most of the songs are audio and a screen shot only (partly because I couldn't find official versions of some of the songs).

I PASSED I PASSED I PASSED I PASSEDI PASSED I PASSEDI PASSED I PASSEDI PASSED I PASSEDI PASSED I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!! I passed my cello exam, I am now the proud owner of an Associate's Diploma of Music, and you are looking at BB, AMusA.

Welcome blank! Jea will get you added to the private boards soon so until then have fun looking in the threads you can see. Also check out the pink loincloth! *passes blank a few guinys*

So, I know I'm still not around to the extent I want to be. Got a job, getting preprared for it even though it doesn't start until August but hubby and I have to move and figure out how to afford the move so it's going to be a wild summer for us! Glad to see brew being drank and spilt in equal quantity still!

Watch it! Love it! Share it!! It's my brother's band and this vid could be going viral!!!

This marks my 3000th post, so I thought I'd have a party with you folk. Drinks all around!

For as long as people have lived together, they have told stories. These stories have been different, telling different tales and fulfilling different purposes. However, there have also been many things similar about them. This month in the Aiel, we are exploring legends/stories/myths. We are focusing on a few different cultures, discussing the role of stories throughout time, and thinking about their role in our world today. We also have some fun games! All are welcome to join us in the Three-Fold Land as we celebrate Aiel Culture Fair: Legends. I hope to see you there! Aiel Heart Car'a'carn

This discussion covers all books through The Towers of Midnight. Do NOT post anything from AMoL! So this month we're going to look at the effects the the three Ta'veren have on the world: It seems to me that although they all, to an extent, have a similar effect on bending chance the specific effects tend to be different: for example Rand: tDR (from Perrins POV) Mat: KoD (from Tuons POV) Perrin: tSR (Perrins POV) So to me it seems that Rand fits the traditional explanation better, at least in the early books he bends chance around him, a boy can fall 3 stories and walk away unharmed, but a woman may trip over a stone and …

Welcome to the Band my favorite DM kitteh!!! *grins* Pull up a soft, comfy couch and get ready to meet everyone, well those you don't already know. *winks* *places out catnip and kitty treats everywhere*

Brid sets up kegs of Bandy, FS, and Guinny. Puts out chairs and tables and orders the Georges to serve the guests. I have been in the wrong not to welcome back DJ after all this time. My bad. Welcome back banded of mine!!! You have been missed and we are so glad you are back. Nica hun, you joined after I left and left before I came back...LOL, but I am thrilled that you are back in the Band. We are going to have soooo much fun!!! Now lets get this party started!!!!

Happy Birthday Horn!! I hope you have a great day!! Cake!!

As I said earlier we well get your user groups sorted out soon. Until then just browse around in the areas you can see. Anyways. Everyone please give a warm welcome to Naertho! After you have a few drinks why don't you tell us about yourself so we can get to know you a bit. *hands Naertho some Guinny* This is guinny short for Guinfantry which is the official drink of the awesomeness that is the Infantry!

Happy Birthday Maylove!!! I hope you're having a fantastical day!!

Now that we've got some audience participation, here are the results! If we were to form the Band of the Band of the Red Hand, assuming we could be modern and digitally add parts so we could play multiple parts at once... here is what it would look like, so far! What this tells me is that we need to recruit more new members for our orchestra... lol. The Rock Band, though, forms pretty well! Orchestra: Flute I: BFG Cello I: The Bard Babe Horn I: F Horn of Valere Trumpet I: Davrick Trumpet IV: Wolfbrother Kronos Percussion I: The Bard Babe Percussion II: Wolfbrotherkronos Mallets: F Horn of Valere, The Bard Babe Choir: HeadlessLover, ThorkinBarrimore, St…

So (bloody ashes, Brid), while looking on YouTube I came across an advert for Thor 2 (which was news to me) and I thought I'd just get a poll as to which film everyone likes the best. Also just general discussion...

They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow, Staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest we forget For those of you that do not know, today (April 25th) is ANZAC Day. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and today, in the year 1915, Australian and New Zealand troops landed on Gallipoli, the first military action of a very young nation. This resulted in many dea…

*Walks in with a cricket bat slung casually over one shoulder.* Does anyone fancy a game? (from HGttG) http://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/Brockian_Ultra-Cricket Suggest we treat it as a brawl, so any exalted leaders that want to join in can do so...

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back!!

It's been a while since we've done anything similar, but I thought I would take this a step further... Since music is one of our charters, and probably a lot of people initially joined because of the music charter, I'm curious to know everyone's relation to music. Post here and let us know! If you play an instrument (or more than one, to include voices), put that down. If you don't play any instruments, put that down too, whether you are an audience member, or stage crew, etc. I'm curious to see how much of a band or orchestra we could put together (to include pop/rock/etc, not just band-geeky types). So I'll start for an example. Proficient in Horn, Bass Gui…

I was just thinking that I haven't noticed a thread where people post photos of antique things that could now be considered art. Old signs, bikes, ticket stubs from just about anything, etc. Here are a few to start it off but feel free to add to the bounty from all of these lands you've conquered in the name of the Band.

Welcome to the Band Bored! I'm Brid, we met briefly in the General Welcome thread. I'm the XO of the Band and will be in charge of you during your Raw Recruit time. Which you will find out more about once your usergroups are all updated. In the meantime, feel free to post wherever you have access and get to know the crazies that make up the Band. Be prepared to be drown in regimental drinks and welcomes!!

*hops in and twitches nose* That's right, I am the Easter Bunny! (Don't believe me? Check out the tail ;p ) As the Easter Bunny, I have taken it upon myself to scatter eggs far and wide throughout the Band, each with their own giant, glowing letter, all of which together will spell a special (but predictable) message. Have fun finding eggs Banders!!! Here's a letter to start you off!

Lets all wish Katiora a very Happy Birthday!!!! I'd have gifts or noms but I'm at work using my phone. So hopefully someone else will post some!

Phish's public on sale is tomorrow (lottery notifications went out today!!! I have SPAC, Dicks!!), other bands are following suit. Who are you guys seeing? What are you looking forward to? "Get in your car and cruise the land of the brave and free!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0VpyzDCdZo
