Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

Band Geeks
Hey, calling all band geeks!! I love being a band geek. I'm in my school's Wind Ensemble and we have so much fun. We're sending in a tape for the Midwest Clinic this year. I hope we get in but they got in when I was in eighth grade...so they might not be so crazy about that.
So what instrument does everyone play? I play the clarinet and I LOVE it.
Let's discuss our crazy band geek stories!!

Re: Band Geeks!
I can play the Guitar and I am really terrible at it. That's about it.

But otherwise, I have no illusions of forming a band. Better leave it in the capable hands of those who make beautiful music.

Re: Band Geeks!
I am a proud band geek! I am and 8th grader playing drums and I love it! I've also played the piano for 8 years so I'm pretty good at that too.

You know how in the fourth hp movie there was a band playing? I wonder if hogwarts really has band geeks. I hope so because the world needs more band geeks.

I'm also a mathlete, so lol!

Check out weird Al Yankovich's song White & Nerdy! It's awesome!

Odd, I'm a mathlete too. We call it that at our school too.

I know, White & Nerdy is awesome!

I am proud to be a band geek! I play the clarinet.

I'm also a choir geek. I had a solo in our choir concert today.

DefyingGravity2: Is your username from the song Defying Gravity from Wicked? I was just wondering. I'm going to see the musical next summer.

Re: Band Geeks!
Yeah Band GEEKS. I'm in marching band as well as the wind ensemble and I play the trumpet. I'm going to switch to baritone in the near future but its just trumpet for now. I also sing in choir and in the select vocal ensemble, so i guess im a music geek and not just a band geek. I also act so I'm a thesbo.

Re: Band Geeks!
what are some of the pieces everyone has played? we play a lot by stephen mellilo...I love him. He actually conducted our all-state band this year and he was AMAZING. I learned a lot. He's crazy though - he's written like 941 pieces of something. He barely sleeps.
But if no one knows who I'm talking about....then never mind lol.

I'm not a mathlete...we don't have that at our school. But I'm in science olympiad, which is close I guess.

Re: Band Geeks!
Awesome thread idea.

I play trumpet. I've been playing it for 6 years now. I played tuba too.

I love playing in the band. Not only is it fun to play an instrument, but the people in band are really nice. We have a ton of inside jokes.

Re: Band Geeks!
Currently I play alto saxophone in my school's band. Our band is very good size considering how big our school is. We moved down to a 3A school this year...and I overheard a some other band members from a different school whispering amongst themselves as we lined up for awards..."Are they a 4A...surely not a 3A?" So yeah.
And I play piano.
Very little guitar, also.

Re: Band Geeks!
grade 8 piano.
alto sax in my school's senior orchestra.
I played tuba two years ago, a bit of baritone at the same time.

I'm debating learning percussion, oboe or flute next semester.

Re: Band Geeks!
My concert was on monday. We were really good. Everybody got the parts that they were having trouble with, and we blended really well. To anybody in my band (although nobody's really a hp fan, so they wouldn't be on this site) Good Job. We did really well playing Charlie Brown Christmas!

Re: Band Geeks!
I have to say that band is way better than orchestra!! primarily because band people have so many inside jokes..many of which are very perverted haha.

I believe bank geeks were seen in a whole new light after the American Pie movies came out.
