i would have to disagree a bit with that yea it has a less known was of scoring but it still allows for a learning experience (physics of sound) and a brand new building style instead of cars and what not it allows for the creation of an instrument which is more towards looks and time than speed and improvisationLittleboy wrote:Sounds of Music sounds kind of pointless.

It isn't totally pointless because it focuses on the physics of sound as part of the test of the eventzyzzyva98 wrote:Pointless but fun? Remind you of another event?

Re: 2011 Events.
I was just quoting HappySciencePie. I'm looking forward to this event, I think we are going to have a musical team next year and I do agree that it can and will be educational.

That's different, though. I don't know how to explain it, but to me it is. :3

Re: 2011 Events.
Sounds of Music would be a fun event just to hang around to see what the instruments people have built look like. 

ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

Re: 2011 Events.
I'm kind of psyched to see what people make for SoM. I'm not going to be doing the event myself, but there are a ton of band geeks on my team, so I know they'll come up with something crazy but good. Seeing what other schools make will be really cool, too. I think that it's kind of neat to have an event like this where people can be more artsy and creative.

Re: 2011 Events.
I'll probably do SoM next year. I'm going to try to build a violin out of balsa wood. Hopefully it won't take too long.
