Yes, no?

A tentative yes, but if the rules are stupid or boring I won't take part.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

MaestroUGC

It should be like the other ones, you'll just have to rework a piece into a new style or something of the sort.

We'll also have a much clearer guidelines for judging and such.

I'd be interested, but I'd like to know the rules of the contest a bit more first.
YOU KNOW THE RULES, AND SO DO I~♫

I think we should finish the composition competition first. :/

Wow, I'm surprised how many people don't know what this is xD

I'd totally be down for this again, but it'd probably mean putting the musical showdown and community orchestra on hold.

You should remember how things were, slow. For everyone else, check the last few pages in this forum and review number 2 as an example(as it was the most successful one)

This contest and the Community Orchestra are not mutually exclusive, as the latter is pretty much all on me and I have loads of creative energy to balance 16 projects at once.

Well, I think Olimar and I will be spear-heading this so we'll come up with the rules and grading rubric we will be using. We'll also be looking for judges and such.

I was reading the old brainstorming thread for this and I saw the idea of pairing up people to make an arrangement was thrown out there. I think this would be a great opportunity to teach some less experienced people about arranging and orchestrating without fear of being pitted aginst people who have much more experience and training.

i.e. We pair up an acknowledged, experienced arranger here with someone who new to this world or who lacks training and have them provide an entry for this contest. This could be optional for contestants, but this would mean that we'd need more experienced people than less playing, however.

That being said start brainstorming ideas for this, if you want to play. Let's try to get creative with this one, guys.

Past contests:
1) Invert the Mood
2) Waltz-ify
3) Going Solo

We'll create the juging rubrics based on what the contest ends up being, but for the most part things like Orchestration and Preservation will mostly be the same from previous contests, as those really are the only constants we can have in these contests.

I want to aim having this all ready to go by Thanksgiving and having the actual contests over Winter Break.

How about we sad-ify something? Take something generally not sad and sadify it.
