[BotRH] March's Music Theme - Classical Music

[Corki]

After a busy February, March is another hectic month for the Band of the Red Hand Social Group. Our main theme for the month is Classical Music. Below is a list of our main activities during the month.

 

 

NOMINATE YOUR FAVOURITE PIECES OF CLASSICAL MUSIC

For the beginning of March, I am looking to you to nominate your favourite pieces of classical music. Somewhere between 16 and 32 nominations is what I am looking for, and those nominated will go into the "It's A Knockout" contest which song the Band considers to be DM's favourite piece of classical music.

IT'S A KNOCKOUT (CLASSICAL MUSIC)

Once we have our nominations, there will be a "It's A Knockout" thread to pick the winner and find out which piece of classical music is DM's favourite.

ORIGINAL vs. COVER

Since September 2009, this thread has been going strong. Each week, between 2 to 4 songs will be posted for your to vote on. At the moment, it is any songs that I can find as it will be very difficult to link it to our classical music theme. Also, if you want to run the thread for a week, please drop Corki a PM.
