Song Contest 143 (Results posted!)

[Amrun]

Continued my time honored tradition of entering songs that will definitely lose.

OMG who entered Boot Scootin Boogy?! I’m dying.

I learned a dance to that song ... in kindergarten. Even more odd, it was a Catholic school.

I love post grunge. I’m white. So be it.

Hoobastank definitely isn’t it.

Vi!!! How could you not give me points on this one!!!


People not liking Eric Whitacre literally doesn’t compute in my brain. And someone said it was unoriginal, which it most assuredly is not.

I knew it wouldn’t score well but I thought Vi would like it for some reason. Lel

I have worked personally with Whitacre and world premiered a piece of his at my professor’s funeral.

I would totally have given October one or two points in this contest.

Spoiler: The rest of my notes for your entry

This takes me back to my wind ensemble days, but... not really in a good way. Like it's not the kind of bad I remember from Incantation and Dance, or Chorale and Shaker Dance, or basically any band song with "Dance" in its name; but it doesn't feel like it goes anywhere. It's the musical equivalent of staring at a fire. I can't help but wonder how much of this song could have been cut, given that it feels like the whole point of the song is six and a half minutes in. At least it doesn't make my ears want to go on strike.

There is an orch/band song I've wanted to submit for a while now but I haven't been able to find a recording I'm satisfied with. 's the trouble with the genre after you've participated in it.

Any recording doesn’t do this piece justice, it’s true. The discordant notes give you goosebumps when done properly.
