Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

It's an idea that raised an eyebrow from a staff member, when I proposed this idea. We've got bankers, engineers, mechanics, doctors, nurses, military personel, retail workers, assorted characters, etc etc etc who attend TFCon every year.

So I'm putting it out here to ask if there are any of you who plays an instrument AND can perform in front of a crowd?

My idea: A concert for TFCon 2013.

We've already got a stage and sound system in place anyways, and a terrifically competent guy at the sound board. :D Why not take advantage of it? It was already used for panels and a podcast last year.

I don't think it'll be a long concert, probably 15-35 min max.

Suggested for the playlist:
-several 86 movie songs (or scores)
-Beast Wars intro/outro :D
-several live action movie songs (or scores)
-several Japanese series intro/outro

This is not like "American Idol", I'm not asking people to tryout at the show. But actually perform for attendees.

I'm not even sure if this could or would be able to be sloted into Friday night; Saturday during the dealer room hours; after the dealer room closes; or after the 86 movie viewing; or part of a Sunday night closing ceremony.

I personally cannot sing, nor do I have a singing voice, and even if I could remember everything I learned in elementary school regarding playing a tromone, let alone even owning one, it wouldn't fit with the Transformers' tones.

But I know there's got to be someone out there who can rock it...perhaps you?

Thoughts? Feesibility? Modifications?

Staff, feel free to chime in on logistics, cost, scheduling, etc as well.

NOTE: This is just an idea. Some other convention apparently has a Hall of Fame thing, and a special dinner. I just thought maybe to be different, we have a concert of some kind. Nor is this a subtle suggestion to get Stan Bush to TFCon, this is something to add to make TFCon better.

There would need to be some modifications to the sound equipment in order to have proper sound for a band.
Not impossible though. It's all about the logistics of an already tight program.

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

I'm more concerned with the compositions / transposing music.
I've got a decade on trumpet and you can count me in.

I've never attended TFCon, but I intend to this year, and this would be a phenomenal way to start.

No Japanese please. No Engrish either. unless you want that to serve the purpose of the chicken dance song.

What about having an online survey for the top 3 songs that reminds us of Transformers, based on the tune, lyrics, etc?

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

I've been playing guitar since I was 14 (now 34 but don't get enough practice as I used to), can carry a tune but am not ideal for a lead singer.

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

im a good-ish singer and i play sax :D but i plan on attending for once

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

The only song I can sing is Ice Ice baby, I also know a bit of Too Legit to Quit from the legendary MC Hammer.

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

I play guitar and bass :P and trombone. but we will ignore that one :)

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

Can you guys play The Touch by Stan Bush?

Re: Any TFCon'ers with instrument(s) & musical talent?
 

Undoubtedly (either guitar or a modified trumpet accompaniment).
No one has a voice quite like that guy though!
