PAINTBALL and HALO unite!

SpinDoctor15 · 09-19-2006, 02:12 AM

Check out this video, it's a band playing the Halo theme at a High School Talent show. A little ways in, I noticed the bass and timpani player had paintball masks on, and further in, they pace to the middle of the stage with p-ball marker and then turn to the side and make some splats on plywood boards. While no one else in the 'house' had masks on, it still made for an interesting show. Not to mention, these kids sure have some talent in the music department!

Yes, a lot of talent there. It is comical that they got the most reaction from the audience when they started playing Mario Brothers though.

As for the markers, I am surprised they were allowed to do that. I would have had them remove that from the “act”. And honestly it would not have detracted from the talent shown or the act itself.

Pretty cool, we didn't even have a talent show at our HS.

Probably because not everyone has played Halo, but EVERYBODY has played Mario Brothers.

Pretty cool. Even though I don't really like Halo as a game, it's still got some pretty cool music.

Not too sure about that paintball act though.

Its a pretty dang hard piece to play. I'm in hs Orchestra and we're trying to learn it but its not easy. Very good job though.

mmm..halo...best. game. ever.

I would have loved to have been there for that! Those guys are pretty good.

I woulda done the theme from Duke Nukem 3d. The .Midi version, not the Megadeth version. Megadeth's version, very ironically, is not hard enough.

Or the theme from mission E1M1 in the original Doom. EVERYONE has heard that one too.

And If you're gonna do the ted nugent wanna be thing, don't half *** it, throw a cheap guitar on a stand over the amp while plugged in and shoot away!

I would have just had them not use paint, then they would have the same effect that they wanted, even though I too dont think cutting it out all together would have had any effect on the show.

I don't think the paintball part fit in at all.

It was a pretty good pice. HS music quality for sure. Good luck on getting your band to play it!! We could never talk our band director into anything fun.
