Xenon Odyssey Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 I would totally go to this if I wasn't getting back from Philadelphia the same day and wanted to drive another hour or so down there. Quote
Arrow Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Ooh! This is like a 5 minute Metro ride from me. I'll definitely be there. Quote
DrumUltimA Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 oof, too bad I'll be going home that day. Say hi to Chris for me. Quote
justinj212 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 Please spread the word about the concert even if you can't attend. We really want to fill up the entire Kay Theater, which seats several hundred people. Anyone have any other boards they usually read that I should post on? Thanks -Justin Quote
Liontamer Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Shizzle, I know the Baltimore meetup was just a couple of days ago, but by May 13th it seems like a lot of students will be done with finals. I'm not sure when I'm moving back to Atlanta next week, but hopefully I'm flexible. They're gonna be performing Portal. We've gotta represent. Thanks to Justin hooking us up with the news. Quote
Kulaman Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 i am SO there... yeah, i'll definitely spread the word, i have a few non-ocr friends that will be interested in this. Quote
Steben Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Put this on YouTube plz. I'm too far away to go myself, sadly. Quote

I hope you guys have a chance to play my "Cid" piece again =D Cheers. Quote
justinj212 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks all. Also, there will be cake served after the concert. . . . . . What? I'm serious. Quote
Kulaman Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 you mean... the cake isn't a lie?!? this is madness! Quote
justinj212 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 Madness? THIS IS GSO! *kicks* sorry all, I had to do it... Quote
The Damned Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 I keep seeing this thread and thinking that the music will be recorded on a failed Sony-proprietary storage format. Requesting someone video tape and put up the performances on Youtube. Quote
Liontamer Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Download some of their past performances free! Some VGMdb pimps for the albums as well: http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=8331 http://www.vgmdb.net/db/albums.php?id=8330 Quote
Foxhull Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I won't be able to make it, I'm in PA and don't get off work till 7:30. I'm putting in an official request that someone make a live recording of the concert. In fact, I'm begging!!! Please!!! Quote
justinj212 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 For all who want recordings and YouTube posts, I'll post a thread here once we've got everything up. Till then, you can check out the recordings on our website: http://www.umgso.com/recordings.php -Justin Quote
TheSnowStorm Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 A bunch of college nerds with no life playing video game music. That's fuckin' sad. Patheic. Man, I need to stop lying. Quote
justinj212 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 Indeed. Patheic. also, if you're interested in this post, you'll probably like my radio show on UMD's campus radio station WMUC. I play all video game music, all the time (from 4-6AM Fridays, at least). You can download the latest episode here. I also have a podcast. Just copy this link into ITunes ("Advanced" --> "Subscribe to Podcast") and you can download all my old episodes for free. Check it out. It'll run through the summer as well, as I'm going to work in CP. The time slot will change after next Friday's show tho. I'll let you know when. -JJ Quote
justinj212 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 I should also note: if anyone wants to contribute an arrangement to the UMDGSO, they are welcome to do so. After the concert we will be accepting arrangements for next semester's show (tentatively planned for Dec. 4). Email umdgso@gmail.com with any questions. Quote

Oh god, that would be an honor to have an one's arrangement played by an college symphony! Alas, I don't have that much of an great ear to arrange such a thing for a symphony. Quote
Liontamer Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 djp and I went, and Arrowned was there as well to chill. If you didn't go, you missed out on some good times. The performance had some shaky parts, but the Portal "Still Alive" close earned the standing ovation it got. Anyone who was close by, you should have went for $0! FREEEEEEE! Quote
Kulaman Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Guess what... I was working! Ugh.... I really wanted to go, but I was stuck at work until 8:30 and didn't get home till after 9:30. Quote
