The hottest and craziest week of the year drawing near, Yokohama Marching Band is globally recruiting new members!
- One who wants to have some fun playing musical instruments but has no musical experience in the real world; - One who has played in the marching band in the real world but does not think marching is possible in Second Life; - One who tried to play the musical instruments but gave it up thinking it was too difficult.....
Why won't you join us in playing music in Second Life and have a lot of fun together! If you don't have a real life experience or don't have musical instruments, Don't worry a thing! Love for music is enough. ;)
Meanwhile, band supporters are also wanted. Supporters cannot only give hoorays to the band at the events but play the musical instruments as members of drills or parades! Isn't it nice? ;)

It is fusion with the RL band of the UK! The name of the band is "The Red Hot Chilli Pipers" As for us, it was admitted use of the music and the use of the name by them.
We participated in consecutive events for the first time for one week. It gave us splendid experience.
When there was not me, it got possible to do a parade.
We got possible to perform a stage drill in an in world. This may be a terrible thing. I thank for Catty which made a picture! http://www.youtube.com/user/cattyerde
I like past places for seven minutes of this picture. It is beautiful, and I force it, and the beauty is great great admiration! rofl I ask all members who watched this blog! Participate in the exercise of the drill so that you stand in the stage! lol
It was the holding of the delay for one hour on the first day.
Therefore we did not perform the event of the parade and paraded experimentally instead.
Participants many in spite of a change of time!I was surprised.
I have pleasure and fear very much how a future parade and stage drill turn out.
I do not show the address of the exhibition here. Because there is the exhibition where I do not pursue the number of people that there is too much in.
Please search the one that I want to watch in IM or SL6B to me.
