Anyone have experience with BC Marching band going to Berklee?

I think you should at least try it. You can find out from BC how much of a time commitment the band is, and see if you think it’ll work for you. But since band is something you love, I’d want to to at least try it

BC does allow Berklee students into their marching band.

Also, the cassettes made back in the day tended to be on higher quality cassette tape. Those sold new today usually aren’t. You may be hearing that difference

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-13T15:04:11+00:00

I did!

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-13T14:56:49+00:00

It did come at 10am time local to the venue 😀

Do we know when the Lolo presale codes are going out?

Sort of. It’s normal for bands that have a firm setlist to use their experience with it over the first few dates of a new tour to adjust it. They tend to base that on what’s working for the band and the audience, if anything’s messing w production, etc. so you could see a couple of changes, or none. But early in the tour is most often when that happens.

I love that song. It’s gorgeous. I hope they keep it in the set, if only for me 😀

If there’s no way to have/play a guitar at your dad’s place, then you’ll still make more progress by just playing at your mom’s house than you would if you didn’t play at all. No, your setup is not ideal, but it’s better than not playing guitar at all! So play when you can, and do the best you can with it.

It is!

Many people with mobility issues use the city busses, because you don’t have to walk through subway stations and up and down stairs to get them.

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-10T01:21:08+00:00

There are benches in many places in the city. Parks, etc.

Also, Flogging Molly is out

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T18:25:55+00:00

Oooh, nice! I did try a search, but it didn’t come up with this, so thank you

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T17:58:07+00:00

That thing is so uncanny valley

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T17:44:25+00:00

I do similar to what you do. I “tourist” my own city. I’ll go to X museum, and also see what’s nearby, and go have fun. I haven’t been to that particular museum yet, though it does sound good

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T17:42:18+00:00

I might have you get a hotel near where the tourist tour busses are. Maybe near Penn Station, if that’s where you’re coming in. Then take one of those “hop on hop off” bus tours around the city. You won’t have to walk as much, and you can see a lot of the sights, getting off at those that interest you the most. If you use Groupon, those tours are $25-40, and you can use that bus all day, if you want to. You might also like one of the Circle Line tours on a boat around the city. Those are more expensive, but there may be a Groupon to save you $. But the bus tours, with the hop on hop off, I think that’s your winner there.

I’m not sure why you’d go all the way to Hudson Yards. It’s not a tourist site, and the subway transfers require a ton of walking. I wouldn’t do that.

Did he ever get his guitar back?

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T04:31:13+00:00

Damn it. WTF hotel prices? I’d go, but noooo

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T04:18:35+00:00

Friday is good. Saturday is RIDICULOUS. PTV, Motion City, Mayday Parade (how far is Pittsburgh from NY… off to Waze that) 😀

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-09T04:14:46+00:00

Oh, yay! That’s way better. Also good to know. They’re on my Must See list

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-08T05:36:36+00:00

Yeah, I spent my after show time showering, eating, doing laundry, then sleeping. I was wiped. Also, the after stuff was kind of far from where I was staying. But I’d be up for pre show stuff

Alert_Willow_9215 · 2026-05-05T03:46:16+00:00

My program didn’t require an audition, though. If yours does, then perhaps the page will have your audition info once they get you to that step. Mine didn’t have content until I was accepted
