Thank you to both you guys for the positive comments.
rla128 - You are incredibly on the spot with the whole 'practice makes perfect' statement, because we certainly didn't get the amount of practice that we should have. It's incredibly hard to get 5 involved guys to have free time on weekdays and not be busy on weekends as well. I really wasn't feeling confident about the performance until the Tuesday before soundcheck. It was cutting it close.
As far as the whole Coldplay thing....wow. If we could pull something like that off, it'd be one of the greatest accomplishments of my highschool career. I could only dream of playing the piano parts to those songs. If I really sat down and tried, I'm sure I could do them....by themselves. But singing and playing the pianah....that's a different story. However, if we could get a keyboardist.....I'm really truly thinking of seeing what we can come up with. I'm a huge Coldplay fan, and this would be huge.
Arsenic - Thanks for the Radiohead props. I personally think that song is amazing, and I loved being able to present it to the school. And you're right, the set wasn't the most accessible, but that's why I chose it. To bring something different to the scene. I knew it'd just dig our hole even deeper, but I didn't care. I felt it was a privilege to play Guster in front of such a big crowd, and Pete Yorn, Radiohead, Dispatch. All are great bands that deserve play as well, just usually don't get them because they aren't as accessible. Well, fuck that, we're going to bring it to Warsaw whether they fucking like it or not.
So that's my philosophy on that. And thanks again for the comments.
