Band Idol (BotRH DM Tour) --> The White Tower ORG (3rd Leg)

[Corki]

Many warm greetings to those at the White Tower! This is the third leg of the Band of the Red Hand's tour of DM - our reality show thread called Band Idol. Yes, it is based on the popular TV series that now has international fame. And it seems we have competition with the Children of the Light - and time to show we mean business!

 

Each week between the beginning of September and the end of October, the show visits each of the ORGs here at DM. The tour has been to the Wolfkin first, and the Ogier second.

 

Throughout the week here, Banders will turn up and fun and games will hopefully spark between us and our tutfy-eared friends. However, come Thursday, we get down to the nitty-gritty business part of the show. The Band's 3 Regiments (the Archers, the Cavalry and the Infantry) are fighting it out for your votes as well as those of the Band's Senior Staff, who are the judges. That is currently myself and BridMorgan as we search for a replacement for Taymist, who stepped down recently.

 

On Thursday, the three Regiments will post Jak O' the Shadow verses on a selected theme. Then, once all the verses have been posted, you, the members of the White Tower ORG, will get to have your say as you decide which is the best. The Regiment that accumulates the most votes wins the public vote, and gains 4 points; 2nd picks up 2 points, and 3rd 1 point. The points are the same for the judges. And all these points are added up over the show, and the Regiment that gains the most points wins the show as well as valuable points for our Bi-Monthly Regimental Competition, to see which Regiment is the best.

PLEASE NOTE (1): Banders - the latest you can post your verses is Friday evening (my time). If not, you get nil point (0 points).

PLEASE NOTE (2): Band Members who are also White Tower members cannot vote. I know who you are, so don't cheat!  :P Unless you can come up with a valid excuse why you should be excused!

 

Now, we have the results from last week's show at the Ogier. For a review of last week's performances from the Band's three Regiments, where the theme was Robert Jordan, click here.

 

Also, during our time here, we will invite you to take part in our weekly Tune or No Tune thread. All you need to do is vote whether the chosen song is a Tune (i.e. you love it) or a No Tune (i.e. you hate it). It's very simple - feel free to comment as well. We hold this thread weekly, so feel free to come by and get involved. For an example, here is the thread from the Ogier ORG - it was Karma Chameleon by The Culture Club.

 

Finally, for all Banders, Band Law applies. So if you are lucky enough, you may see a public trial on the Band's boards here!  ;)

 

Also, you are more than welcome to visit the tour as we go around DM!

 

I really hope that you enjoy your visit and look forward to seeing you take part in our activities and future legs of the tour!

Hello to the White Tower from the Archers of the Band. 

[Moghedian]

Hello White Tower! My, aren't you all so imposing and dignified?

 

*Raises her sign that says 'VOTE FOR THE ARCHERS'* ;D

[Dwynwen]

Hi, Banders!

 

It sounds like you guys have a lot of fun things planned for this visit!  :)

[Illiara]

Ooh!!!

 

I like competitions! It sounds like a lot of fun!

[Kristine]

Hello all you Channeling people!  Glad to see you.

 

*rummages for a foxheaded medallion...*  I think I made one out of paper mache before coming here...

[Samuraiflip05]

Kris....I am not sure that would work?  :-\

 

But, it might be interesting to see it in action.  :P ;D

[Naeann]

So... I'm a bander and an Aes Sedai... since this is in the White tower.. if I channel do I still get a spotfine?

[Samuraiflip05]

Patterns we weave, One Power swoon

Women surrender, rose in bloom

Men must battle impending doom

To weave with Jak O the Shadows.

 

Spirit is equal both must share

Women hold more, Water and Air

Earth and Fire is where men flare

To surge with Jak O the Shadows.

 

From the True Source power is drawn

Women glow like the rising dawn

Men are corrupted, insane pawns

To channel with Jak O the Shadows.

 

Through One Power use age does slow

Giving user's an ageless glow

Thier true age only they will know

To grow with Jak O the Shadows.

 

 

Archer submission. 

 

[Loranflame]

How is the white tower doing? I was gonna drop in but I can't  :(

 

The one power is a clever name

Saidar or Siadin it seems the same

But using them is a different game

To wonder with Jak O the Shadows

 

It's like the colours black and white

Like Good or evil, shadow and light

The one power is like day and night

To differ with Jak O the Shadows

 

The one power is a tainted deal

Accept it or don't but it is real

Someday you might unlock the seal

To curse with Jak o the Shadows

 

The one power once pure as day

Might never again be that way

Or so some people like to say

To guess with Jak O the Shadows

 

My Personal... random and bored person submission. :p

[Liitha]

peeks in ...oo drinks...nice, but they lack umbrellas...where is barm when you need him *looks around*

[Auld Manriva]

This is The Cavalry Regiments' Submission sung by a bunch of Sailors on Shore Leave

 

 

The Girl From Emonds Field

 

Here's a short tale of Egwene al'Vere

Of Emmonds Field, that she held dear

She and her friends fled homes in fear

To dance with Jak' o' th' Shadows

 

She's seen the lost Eye of the World

Been Tower trained with other girls

Betrayed, a damanes' bolts she hurled

She danced with Jak' o' th' Shadows

 

T' the Waste among the fierce Aiel

She's learned to walk the World Unreal

Tel' aran'rhiod can make one squeal

And dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

To the Little Tower, she did go,

To be a puppet, but oh no!

Made Amyrlin, she thwarts her foes,

In her dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Alas, she's been betrayed again

But fights Elaida from within

To be the rightful Amyrlin

And dance with Jak o' th' Shadows

[Corki]

So... I'm a bander and an Aes Sedai... since this is in the White tower.. if I channel do I still get a spotfine?

Yes!  ;D Read near the end of my original post!

Finally, for all Banders, Band Law applies. So if you are lucky enough, you may see a public trial on the Band's boards here!  ;)

 

Now waiting for the Infantry entry.

 

And Archers, please pick which is your official entry! ;)

 

And as you may have guessed, this week's theme is 'The One Power or a specific Aes Sedai from the book'. So enjoy!  :)

 

Please don't forget to vote in the Tune or No Tune thread, which is California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas.

[Naeann]

I think I'll pass this time.  I'm an RLO.. I'm supposed to set an example for the RR's.  *tries to maintain a straight face*

[Samuraiflip05]

How about whichever one will get us better votes?  ;D

 

Umh, stick with the first one....unless I can get a vote out of the other Archers.  I will try and post a definite answer by 12 noon(CST).  That should be 6pm (GMT). 

[Kristine]

Infantry Entry

 

 

With fear and awe we watch them now,

Moving mountains, skies and even a cow,

Our eyes see no rope windmill or plow

They channel against Jak o' the Shadows.

 

Against the Shadow rigid they stand,

For this they have the support of the band,

Side by side walks the Flame and the Hand

To fight against Jak o' the Shadows.

 

When march is done and camp is struck,

We've tossed the dice and left it to luck,

Give them a Guinny and see if Aes Sedai get drunk

To debauch with Jak o' the Shadows.

[Loranflame]

The post by Sam is the official entry. It says "Archer Submission."  ;)

 

I was just bored so ignore mine or judge it for FUN!!! ;D

[Corki]

And there we have it! The three entries And on time! Well, just. And a quick reminder of the verses for you as you cast your vote:

 

The Archers

 

The Cavalry

 

The Infantry

 

And you can now vote for your favourite verses. And to vote, just post which Regiment is your favourite. Very simple! :)

 

And to my fellow judge, let's get critical!

[Moghedian]

Being an RA I am impartial so...Archers :P

 

(Worth a try..;)

[Liitha]

[Tigara]

[Illiara]

Hmm...I like the Calvaryentry.

[Dwynwen]

Archers for me.

[Corki]

Because I have been out tonight (unexpectedly), I will have to post the judges results tomorrow at some stage. So that gives you some additional time to get your votes in if you haven't done so already.
