pianomusicman89 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 MTV asked Marcus HS to host a reality TV show about marching band! Woo! a marchingband reality tv show. OMG, now they've thought of everything! anyway, they're going to start filming next week!! three episodes for a pilot season Quote
trumpetman1288 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Dear lord... OK, not that I object to the idea of a reality TV show based on marching band, nor the fact that I absolutely despise reality TV, but why do people still watch MTV? MTV's reality TV is so rehearsed that it isn't even funny. Not to mention 95% of it is more dramatic than most situations would actually be. I give congrats to Marcus for being selected to do this, but why MTV? Oh well...maybe I should give MTV a chance and hope that it makes a GOOD television series for a change since about all of it sucks. Quote
Xenon Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 You know that MTV is going to try to get the kids to talk about those one times at band camp, but the kids will be like, "uhhhhh, yeah." Quote
mbui Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 It's about dang time MTV puts MUSIC on their network....... /slight sarcasm Quote

Doesn't MTV stand for MUSIC Television anyways? Actually, I do remember when they used to play music other than late at night and other than the crapfest that TRL has become. Those were the good ol' days... Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I have mixed feelings about this... well hopefully this will be a good thing. Does anyone know when it's supposed to start? Quote
Keyboard_Countessa Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I have the same feelings about this as when I heard about "American Pie: Band Camp". I want to see it because it's about band, but I don't want to see it because it's MTV. Quote
sax5warrior Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 why... MTV will distract those kids and next thing you know is that another good band may possibly not go to state besides, who watches MTV anymore?? Quote
artishard Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 it'll be laguna beach, except with instruments, and people that aren't twigs. oh, and lots of drama, for sure. Quote
whitewing09 Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 why marcus?? just wondering but i think itll be good hopefully they dont edit out the good stuff Quote

txsweetheart183 Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I dont like MTV .. its lame now but congrats to Marcus anyways Quote

I'm actually wondering why they didn't choose Carmel or L.D. Bell, but I guess since Marcus' performance this year really shined I can see what MTV was doing. This better be good or MTV is gonna pay.

whitewing09 Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 I hope they dont show us band people as losers. i hope they show it for what it is something you have be dedicated to, something honorable,dramaful, and full of wild... umm ill let you fill in the blank Quote
pianomusicman89 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 i heard the show was going to be called "band geeks" which is probably the worst name, EVER! Quote
Lustra.exe Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 when a camera is in front of you, you automatically do your best. if that holds true, everyone will be doing there best. always. who knows. cool idea. congrats marcus. Quote

OH, and keep in mind, this is a reality TV show. there is going to be drama out the wazoo. do you want the nation to see you as a band full of drama or as good, dedicated marchers? realities distort the truth and bend it to their wants for higher ratings. come on now, it's MTV!!!! you know, the same people who made Jessica Simpson look like a complete dumb*** and probably ruined her career.

Lustra.exe Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 yeah... do you know when if starts airing? Quote
pianomusicman89 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 all i know is that they start filming this coming up weekfor a pilot but i don't know when they'd be airing it. probably shortly after Quote
whitewing09 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 ugh it takes forever for them to do that crap like editing tho so itll probably come out during concert season or something Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Most likely... man. But I agree with what PianoMusician said... it IS MTV so there most likely gonna bend what they can to get higher ratings. And I really hope they don't call it "Band Geeks". Quote
whitewing09 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 lol that would be funny they make it like laguna beach. dude you have to cheat on the drum major with the other drum major its the only way you can break up lol Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Lmao, I've never seen Lougana Beach but thats pretty funny ^. The sad thing is it probably will be like that lol... at least a little, I mean c'mon it's MTV! Quote
whitewing09 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 mtv does add a certain drama thats interesting tho lol Quote
