Scratch Ensemble
Well, I'd like to thank Technoguyx and Bluestribute for inspiring me. There are Scratch Bands that are being started up. However, these bands focus on other genres, and I thought it would be great if one would be formed that focused on classical music. However, this is something organized by Scratchers, so we can't do it without them.
To Participate:
1. Tell me your Scratch username (optional- I'll find out what it is anyway 
)
2. Tell me what instrument you'd like to play (violin, viola, contrabass, cello, flute, clarinet, etc.)
3. Upload a project of you playing your instrument (as an audition) so I can look at it. Remember, you have to have a microphone to do such a thing (and to play pieces), so if you don't have a microphone, you can't participate.
Instruments:
Sometimes we will play pieces that require some members (not all), so we might not need certain instruments mentioned in the list below. Also, we might need backups. Here are positions:
*Piano- me
*Violin- ____
*Viola- _____
*Cello- ______
*Contrabass- ______
*Flute- ________
*Clarinet- ________
*Sax (maybe, maybe not) _______
*Harp (probably and probably not, doesn't seem like many pieces are written for it)- _______
*Guitar (acoustic)- hpotter134
*Oboe- ______
*Bassoon (maybe, maybe not)- ________
*Drums- jslomba
Things to do:
*Figure out a name for our group ("Scratch Ensemble" is unacceptable). Ideas:
Classica Ensemble
S-Ensemble (like the S-Orchestra in "Nodame Cantabile" )
*Start working on some pieces. I didn't play much chamber music before, but I'm good at sight-reading though.
Please reply if you are interested!
EDIT: New Scratchers can participate if they want. And maybe even mods... xD

Sure! But what about the audition recording? Besides that, you're in!

Re: Scratch Ensemble
I could play guitar, though I'd rather do so once my dad finally gets a classical, I only have a steel string one now and fingerpicking on it it kinda hard :c
...But it'll probably be a while until I get the classical so I don't think I can be in.

you can listen to Frozen Coco's song My Voice To You, that's me playing drums. or, if you want a classical audition, I can easily record that.

Re: Scratch Ensemble
I heard it already. You played nicely and smoothly in that song, and I enjoyed the playing of the other members of the band as well. You're in!

Re: Scratch Ensemble
Sorry about that... But even if you don't have a microphone, what instruments do you play? Just curious

Re: Scratch Ensemble
I like the idea of a virtual classical ensemble, I never would have thought of it 
I play classical guitar, I'll get you some auditions if you want (Other than what I played on My Voice to You, but that's not really classical guitar). What kind of music do you plan on playing? And who's going to arrange it?

We haven't planned on anything YET. Not everybody will play in every piece I guess, and some pieces just sound weird when you arrange it for certain combinations. We will have to work that out later I guess
I listened to My Voice to You- awesome. You're in!

Re: Scratch Ensemble
Is there room for another piano player? I could ask my sister, she's pretty good...
