FRAGMENTS OF FANTASY: Playing at Fanime 2008

[Tur713]

I have a violin, so I can play the parts of a flute, right hand of a piano, or anything else written in treble clef. Where are we planning on playing this?

[liger0sniper]

Um...liger0sniper. I need your email address so I can send you the parts for the small ensembles. I assume you have the parts for the other pieces now?

And yes, we were looking at different times and places.
Possibly just in the hallway at the same time every day for like half an hour to an hour. No set time, per se.
AND/OR, we could play at some of the gatherings where the music would fit....aka FF gatherings...lol.
I know that the KH gathering is 4 pm on Saturday, the FFX/X-2 gathering is Saturday at 2 pm, the FFVIII gathering is on Sunday (i don't remember the time), the FFVII gathering is Sunday at 4 pm, and the FF(ALL) gathering is Saturday at 11 am (ew thats early).

So just put in your two cents. I will be attending a few of those gatherings anyway.

What do you all say to every day, twice a day, for half an hour each. Times at about 1 pm and then some other time? We can do late nights, that's not out of the question. Let me know. Things may have to change according to people's availability and such. ^_^

Ah, right. Sorry 'bout that. You can contact me at [email protected].
As for time, I'm gonna attend all the gatherings listed so yeah, I could definately make it.

Hey Oathkeeper! Its Amy! (I live in teh Placerville area)

I know this sounds funny, but would you have a opening tentatively (since I gotta make sure it still works) for Trumpet   (0_0  I know, they might overpower everything but what the heck, hehe) I would need to pull up my iTunes to relisten to the songs you're wanting to do to see if it's even worthwhile...

Anyways if you don't want any of the very loud - ness of trumpet, its okay... besides I would have to freshen up my skills.


BTW  if possible I would LOVE to do Man with a Machine gun (FFVIII) with a ensemble.  =D

[Oathkeeper]

@ Tur713...you are MORE than welcome! (We also have some arrangements for small ensembles with string parts...so we may be able to use you for that too if we get enough interest!)
Send me a PM with your email address and your instrument and I will send you your parts!

@ crazychichi...AMY! ^_^ YOU ARE DEFINITELY WELCOME! We need some trumpets! ^_^ I will send you parts if you pm me your instrument and your email address (i'm getting so many requests I have a hard time keeping usernames straight...XP)

[Oathkeeper]

Hi!
I know that double-posting is irreverent n all that...but I needed people to see what kind of stuff I'm doing here...

I need to know who is IN...for good.
we may only have one or two shots at this over the course of the weekend, at one or two gatherings and maybe in a hallway once.
We need to have one rehearsal if possible...so I need availability so I can set that up with people.

The con push is coming up...we have 8 days!

IF YOU ARE IN THIS, PLEASE POST HERE AND LET ME KNOW!!!

we may only be playing about five different pieces...

[deonchan]

I'm a TC Baritone/Trumpet.

I know a trombone, a clarinet, a flute, and another TC Baritone.

Idk if any of us can do whatcha need when you need it, but some of them might be interested...

[Oathkeeper]

we can always add you in on parts, it sounds great!

throw me some email addresses if you like, and I can send out parts.

We will be playing at some gatherings and in a hallway once probably.

I'm looking at the KH, FFVII, FFVIII and FFX/X-2 gathering

We still need to choose which gatherings to go to!

[TaikoMoon]

Aw I would love to participate however I don't get to the mainland until the 22. So basically no time. Good luck though. Boo I would have wanted to participate too. (Than again I don't plan on lugging my FHorn or Trumpet to the mainland from Hawaii. Too much baggage).

[NeoValkyrion]

What is the pianist needed for?

[Yunri-Chan]

..........I think I forgot to reply on Facebook. *fail*

Anyhow, I play the flute so I'm interested! Although I really can't guarantee anything because I have a lot of gatherings/photoshoots/other priorities to attend. >___<; I hope I can though!

For the record, my email address is: yunri.chan [at] gmail [dot] com.

[deonchan]

hmmm I think I'm going to have to bail out. I was unable to secure any perc instruments for the con. :(

[Taka86]

I can play the piano.  havent touched one since Jr High.  played from 4th Grade to 8th grade, I can still read notes and everything.  but......I dont have a keyboard....

[Oathkeeper]

What is the pianist needed for?

The pianist is needed for a few small ensemble pieces. If you are interested, I can send you parts. Just post your email and I can send you the stuff!

I have a very large, bulky keyboard that I'm not sure even works, so if anyone can bring one or if a piano can be provided it would be much easier for me. I'll see if I can get mine working just in case. I already play a bunch of Final Fantasy and anime pieces solo, so this should be a walk in the park. :D

[shinjiboy]

I could bring my CASIO 61-note keyboard.  I would really be interested in doing this.  Saturday would be best for me since I have a hotel room that day and I could lug my case around.  Um, I don't have a stand.  Maybe I can just drag one of those white tables around and plop it on there.  Here's my email address:

Send me parts whenever you can.  Also, work out your number of players.  Read any orchestration book and you will know how important the balance of instruments are.  But I'll leave that up to you.  :)

EDIT: If you're drawing from the free nobuo site directly, just let me know the pieces and I'll DL them myself.  Thanks.
