I was just thinking that maybe several of us could create a story/series about a band that consists of our pets/characters and/or us (that's a lot of slashes).
And then we could continue the appearances of that band within future stories, series, and comics (maybe the characters go to see our band perform).
So our band was basically be a NTWF organization that spreads to the NT.
We could be a certain type of band (rock, jazz, orchestra, etc.) or possibly one that did all sorts of music.
If anyone sounds interested (at least two people), we'll have to come up with two things: a name and a list of who plays what instrument. Now of course, there can be more than one of an instrument in the band.

Count me in, my faerie Acara Glitter can play the drums or if we're doing classical, she's handy with a violin.

Count me in, my faerie Acara Glitter can play the drums or if we're doing classical, she's handy with a violin. Great! I'll start a tentative list, and it will be edited here (and re-posted every other page, at which point I'll stop updating older lists). Non-Neopets instruments will have a * and will be added into the band once they have been created by Neopets (so please give a suggestion to them to make your instrument).

Thanks Will! Ok, now here's another question--is anyone willing to draw the pets with their instruments (or just copy and paste the images together)? I'll do it if no one else cares to. |

Comedian, is this a comic or story? If it's a comic, I can animate it.

Comedian, is this a comic or story? If it's a comic, I can animate it. Well, it will be a story that will be expanded to the comics. We make up a band, write a story of how it's formed and such, and then the band could make appearances in other stories and comics. I just thought it would be neat to see all the members with their instruments, but that should probably wait until we've finalized the list. |

Oh cool! I love the idea! Can I have my eyrie on trumpet? The only problem I can see with that is that he has no lips.... yea.... that could be a problem.... so if not trumpet bongos. *pulls out trumpet out of no where and begins to play bohamien rapsody* *trumpet disapeers* *sigh* I miss playing trumpet. edit 1: Oh yah! My eyrie's name is Razor_Griff. edit 2: Would we actually write songs for the band? *imagines writting a song about neopet stuff* not the music of course though, just the lyrics. Or maybe we could compose music, *starts playing random stuff on the keyboard* edit 3: *records stuff on the keyboards recording thing* *plays it back and listens* *Scrunches up face in pain  * On second thought, only the lyrics. edit 4: Maybe it's just a coincidence, but in the last comic I submitted, my poogle mas playing maracass, my kougra was playing trumpet of blasting, and my eyrie was playing the tamborine, they were singing (with the expettion of my kougra, you just CAN'T play trumpet and sing at the same time) a um.... modified version of the song that never ends. My lupe was singing to, but had no instrument. *crosses fingers in hope that it gets in* edit 5: Oh who cares if you need lips to play trumpet and a beak dosen't even come close, my eyrie will play the trumpet! edit 6: Will our pets/we have to try out to be in the band? |

Actually, that would be a bit of a problem. The beak can't be shaped, nor can it vibrate (on a visible level, anyways). You'll have to ask Felicia if full-fledged songs are allowed in the NT, even if they are made by users. I don't think copyrighted material is allowed, and you wouldn't want to put non-copyrighted music out on the internet. As for lyrics, I guess anyone can do that if they want. No. Here's the process: 1. People sign themselves/their pets up for the band, at a maximum of three instruments per being. I decide if their pet has the right form to play those instruments. I'm not going to allow a Kau to play a clarinet, since clarinets require fingers. 2. After I see that we have enough people on each instrument (I'll get this list out shortly), I will tell everyone which instruments their person/pets can't play (i.e. your pet signs up for the trombone and the triangle. We have another pet sign up for only the triangle, but we have an opening for trombone. Your pet would be put on the trombone). 3. I'll finalize the list, keeping secondary instruments for each person/pet on another list, in case of new members or if someone quits. However, we will hold "try-outs" in the story. |

If you'll notice, the band is really several groups together. So I guess we'll make this a series--each part tells the formation of each band, and then the finale is them coming together as a musical group. At their concerts, each band performs several pieces. Each group has their own name, but they're all part of a bigger thing.

Considering Friski's temperament and complete lack of opposable thumbs... ...can he play the triangle? ;D And back up on bongoes, if need be, of course..  |

* On second thought, only the lyrics.
