Band to Band Competitions

[dcnjack]

Ok. Erock said something about this on the Vox challenge thread. I don't know if it's anywhere, but I think this is an awesome idea. If this becomes a real thing, here's how I think it should be done;

We'd need a list of everyone and their main instrument.

We'd need a list of what times people are usually online.

Each challenge would run for maybe a month? (I only give it that long because sometimes it's hard to get everyone online at one time) Every Freddy could only play in one band. Each time a band plays the challenge for the first time, they post their roster. That is their band for that month. They can try the song as many times as they like, but it has to be with the same people.

I don't think we should have the same people in the same band every time, this way it gives us a variety and a bit of unpredictability. It makes it fun and we get to meet new people.

What do you guys think?

perfect!!

I think its a great idea, as long as we don't go crazy trying to coordinate it lol

[tackhead311]

i think as well it should all be random the rosters and everything. so if you get a band with 3 drummers and a bassist make it work lol.

Thats why i suggest posting band sign ups.. For example. I post Fink Ployd will be playing on sun at 3Pm Pacific time.. First come first serve.. anyone who wants to play at that time can sign up for a spot. we can have alternate sign ups in case one member is unable to make it.. I would post how many songs we are going to play and even list some songs or all random. there are many ways to do this and it will take some playing to get it down. I think we will have some great jams this way with many different people and have a blast.. I just don't know how easy or hard it would be to code it into the website or just post it into perspective band threads. this will make it great for people to look in and see which bands are playing and what would fit into there schedule..

or just have team leaders and do a lottery draft.

I think this is a cool idea!

[tackhead311]

i want my band to be just jody p !

[greyghost88]

I'd be game for this. I love playing with my regular band, Fruits of the Loom, but getting together with some other people to play a song for a competition would be fun! Sign me up...consider my hat in the ring.

Having a draft or something like that seems like the best way to go, because if we could choose our own bands, it would have to be renamed "Seriously, Can Anyone Knock of the Fruits?" ha ha

I just wanted to let everyone know who's been keeping an eye on this thread and waiting for the band challenges to start that we haven't forgotten about them. We've got a crack team of people ironing out the details of organzing this thing, and we should have something to announce to everybody pretty soon. Going by what I've been told about it so far, it should be pretty awesome! So you know, just keep watching, or whatever.

Yes I have pulled out the blackboard and have a bunch of strange symbols all looking important and algebraic trying to make this easy, fun and fair.. We are making great headway and hope to have some announcements soon...
