fantasymarchingband.com Season 9

Post by fmb » Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:14 am

fantasymarchingband.com is starting Season 9 of its fantasy drum corps/marching band virtual game. I know some of you are already on, but if not, register and create a band. Its a great way to spend free time. They are using a drum corps schedule this season with competitions every day of the week.

What's your ensemble name/show? I'll post mine once I have it.

Since this is a GAME dealing with fictional ensembles, I'm moving it to Off-Topic.

Well, we won't be facing off at any tournaments seeing as how we are in different divisions.. but we can still root for each other!


Oh yeah... here's my instrumentation:

Flutes: 30
Clarinets: 25
Bass Clarinets: 11
Alto Saxes: 17
Tenor Saxes: 10
Baritone Saxes: 2
Trumpets: 22

I have a strange feeling that I am going to get owned by the more experienced people at this. Oh well... It's just for fun!

A clarification: fmb.com is the website for the Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach, California.

It seems to me if you want someone to join you in what you are doing, you should give us the correct website URL in your thread title.

Image

The correct website is:

http://home.fantasymarchingband.com/

Yeah, I know you posted this earlier in this thread. But I want the original poster to know the confusion he is causing for some readers of this thread.

I registered with Fantasy Marching Band and the verification e-mail has the title, "fmb.com" I told them about the fact that fmb.com is actually a bank website but they didn't seem too interested in that fact.
