Musical Train Ride

[Josh McCaul]

I have finished the rough draft of the song, I don't know if I should post it here, so if you want a copy, just ask and I'll get it to you asap. In total we will need 6 Agents including myself (1 For Camera; 4 Singing Agents and 1 Non-Singing Agent).

In the song, there are 3 Agents who sing one verse each, but everyone join in on the chorus. I'd like the other agent to know the entire song (it's not long) in the case that they can't just sing on the chorus and actually have to cover for someone who dropped out at the last minute (but I know that wouldn't happen cause we're IT).

If you are interested, please let me know by posting here, contacting me via email [e-mail] (which is also my MSN account) or by any other means you can think of.

Howdy, how is everyone?

I recently went through my youtube favourite videos and felt the urge to watch Improv Everywhere's 'Food Court Musical' and it has got me thinking, why not do a little musical on Go Transit?

It wouldn't be a big production or anything, it would only need about 10 people; A camera person, a few people just hanging around (that wouldn't have to sing, but would get involved with the whole act such as providing the music) and obviously, some people who would be willing to sing.

I have started writing a bit of the song, but before going further I am waiting to see if anyone is interested in helping. Ideas have been formulating and it would start off with someone who isn't singing turning up their music really loud and agents who would be dispersed throughout the car would begin singing.

The topic of song is obviously to get that person to turn down their music. He/she will have to speak, but not sing (They would have to act dumb as if they aren't in on it).

I will probably be finishing a rough draft of the lyrics sometime today, if anyone has ideas or wants to be involved, let me know.

In terms of location and date, I think that we'd meet at union station and prepare to do it on one of the trains during evening rush hour (Probably meet around 3:30 - 4:15). Other than that, it really depends on whether people are interested in this or not.

Did I miss this, or have we not gotten around to it yet?

[Josh McCaul]

Also, if you have any suggestions for a music track, let me know asap.

This message is extremely important

The date is set for all participants to meet at Union Station on Tuesday May 20 @ 3:15 PM EST assuming that we get 6 people to agree to come by Monday Evening (including myself, so we need 5 more). This includes a camera person and a non-singing agent who has an mp3 player, cd player, cell phone (with music) or an Ipod.

Information regarding where we will specifically meet will be given out as the date approaches.

If you are able to come out to help, please send an email to me @ [e-mail] telling me multiple things:

- What role you wish to play (Singing, Camera, Non-Singing)
- A Cellphone number (Not required, but is explained below)

The point of the cell phone is in case someone can't find me or whatever, I also will use it to send you all a text (if you have nothing against that) explaining where we will meet. If you don't want to do this, that is fine.

Upon receiving your email, I will respond by sending you the full song, my cell number and more detailed information about what is exactly going on.

Please come out and support IT.

As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

The 15th I have completely open right now. The 19th is my first day at my new job and because of some legal issues with it and my present place of work, I won't know until then which (if any) of the other days listed I have off.

In regards to the medical emergency, don't sweat it. Shit happens, sorry if i came across as bitchy in my post. Just focus on getting better.

[Josh McCaul]

Oh no not at all, but I can appreciate that you want to get this done because I share the same desire.

We'll continue to work towards a date at which people can make it over the next few days, but we will have to a definite soon.

[Axel S.]

Unfortunately, the 15th is extremely busy for me and I would likely not be able to make it.

[Meredith Gillis]

Is this still happening or not?

15th is definitely the best of the days listed for me at this point.

Would be nice if we got a facebook event going for it.

[Josh McCaul]

First off all, I had a medical emergency that has kept me off my feet literally for a little while and I'm just recuperating now.

Secondly, I want as little people to know about this as possible. Facebook, I use it for my personal stuff, but I don't believe that we should be broadcasting that this stuff is going down all over the internet ... it defeats the purpose, it could turn into a bunch of events where everyone is just waiting for it happen, which to me takes the fun out of it.

Thirdly, is anyone available to do it, on the 13th, 15th, 19th, 20th, 22nd or 23rd?

I would like to get this done by the end of the month, at the very latest so please reply with haste.

And to everyone who has been waiting for this to happen, I'm sorry.

[Axel S.]

12 and 13 are best for me.

[Meredith Gillis]

Could I get a copy of the lyrics if I'm to be singing this with everyone? Lyrics would be good, sheet music would be amazing. (Just so I can figure out how it goes and get some practice in beforehand you know?

As to the dates, the 12, 13, 15 - one of them should work for me, I'm still waiting to get my schedule for that week from work and I'm starting a second job as well, so I'll get back to you on that as soon as I know what's happening with work.

[Axel S.]
