Sean AL @PF-646085

We are in cabin 152 btw

Thomas @thomas

Wya?

Sean AL @PF-646085

Cabins

Sean AL @PF-646085

Come on over for some grappling

Thomas @thomas

This is a scripted message. An important announcement has just been posted in the #announcements channel. Please review it in detail and follow the instructions given. If we have not conversed recently (or since the last scripted message), give me an update on your organizing and any questions or matters I can assist with. Thank you.

Thomas @thomas

Can you get someone to record a drum roll at a distance of 50, 100, 150, and 200 feet? I want to try to get an idea of the audio strength, and if we'll need a second.

Thomas @thomas

Also, be thinking of some cool rolls or beats to play during infil and exfil via the trucks. Something suspenseful, and fast could be really cool and be essentially a musical cue to get the lead out.

See about recording any ideas for something like that, something for marching, chants, etc. etc. so we can brainstorm. I want you to have some pretty big creative freedom here.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Ok cool. I'll try and see what I can come up with.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Chants will include the typical "life, liberty, victory" which would ideally take up 2 measures. Anything else?

Thomas @thomas

The chants will be either Reclaim America or Life, Liberty, Victory

Sean AL @PF-646085

Got it

Sean AL @PF-646085

I may be able to just improv most of the chants

Thomas @thomas

Either way works.

Sean AL @PF-646085

But I'll try and think of a decent and simple cadence like diddy to play

Sean AL @PF-646085

And I'll work on the recordings this week

Thomas @thomas

Yes, of course. Get creative.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Would something like this work as far as a marching cadence? A little rusty and the audio isn't great but let me know what you think.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Thomas @thomas

I dig it.

Thomas @thomas

Just gotta make sure guys are in good rythym before we get too crazy with the drum rolls.

Sean AL @PF-646085

I agree

Thomas @thomas

How is your drum practice going?

Thomas @thomas

I do say, the 1, 1, 3 tap is a bit, just a bit somber perhaps. What if we brainstorm for something a bit more triumphal? Something happy, almost. Exuberant. Proud. The beginning of what you sent sounds a bit military funeral. This is a triumph, like the legions of antiquity. The culmination of two year's efforts, sacrifices, burdens borne and hoisted high.

Sean AL @PF-646085

It'd going well, man. Haven't had the opportunity to get and record the distances yet but I'll work on attempting that. And ok, that makes sense. I just didn't want to go too wild and confuse everyone, especially those not used to marching to a beat.

Thomas @thomas

It's a bit too late to bother with another drum anywho so don't worry about the distances.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Roger. Carter didn't own one either.

Sean AL @PF-646085

But a bass would've been awesome

Sean AL @PF-646085

As far as the triumphal, more upbeat rhythm...are you thinking 16th/8th note splits mainly to fill the gaps and keep up the pep?

Thomas @thomas

Maybe, I am not familiar with the lingo.

Sean AL @PF-646085

16th notes are 16 notes in a measure, so 4 notes per beat. Likewise, an eighth note is half the speed at 2 notes per beat and 8 notes per measure (4 count measures).

Sean AL @PF-646085

I'll send an audio later on

Thomas @thomas

Sounds good to me.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Just stumbled across this. Give me your input so I can better figure out what you're looking for

Sean AL @PF-646085
Thomas @thomas

Sounds hard to do w/ one drum.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Yea the bass really sets the beat. I'll figure something out.

Thomas @thomas

https://youtu.be/Sz_YPczxzZc

The opening drum beat of this song is cool. See if you could try it out. Even if just to sample for audio of our own.

Sean AL @PF-646085

I like the groove. Where were you thinking this would be played? Marching or morso so while we are standing or doing some sort of action?

Thomas @thomas

Maybe it could be the "get your ass in gear" sound while people are getting into their ranks from the trucks.

Sean AL @PF-646085

That's what I had in mind. I like it. I'll practice tonight

Thomas @thomas

I trust your musical creativity, I just really like how it sounds. It's a song Mason likes that he's tried to work into videos but it's never panned out.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Well I personally think of it can be worked Into the video, then it's well worth attempting to match the music and playing it

Thomas @thomas

Sure. I may want to try one small thing out during the speech, a 3 beat countdown after I say a key phrase to get the shield guys to pound on their equipment or raise them up, but we shall see how it looks in drilling.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Awesome. Looking forward to it.

Thomas @thomas

This is a scripted message. Please make sure to review the recent announcement. Thank you.

Sean AL @PF-646085

First off, congratulations on a huge success and accomplishing such a feat. Hats off to you.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Secondly, I do think I ordered posters in my last order, but I think Chris may have gotten them. If not, the order number was #570096. We have plenty as a group, so no rush. I just wanted to be sure.

Thomas @thomas

I am simply a vessel. I would be nothing on my own. Manpower transfigures ideal into practice. I had imagined those ranks streaming down those streets in my head for so many months, and only that willingness to commit made it real.

Confirm with Chris. I will check the number.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Absolutely. We all play a role in this never ending fight for a better future. It's an honor to be here.

Sean AL @PF-646085

Ok, I had thought maybe Chris gathered all of our poster orders, but he said he paid for those on the spot. It should be just one order of posters then on my end that's left since I'm pretty sure I ordered several packs of stickers (which I have) and 1 order of posters.
