marching band simulator

Post by clintontuba2 »

anyone ever seen a game like this? kind of like those sim city games, or like simprison, where you can build up your prison and run it to make it successful?

i thought it would be neat to have a game like this where you can build your band, and manage it through the fall, and be able to customize it how you see fit, and make decisions from a directors standpoint. budget, instrument purchases, uniforms, scheduling, drill, shows, etc. anyone have any ideas on this?

Yes, I have an idea. My idea is that video game makers like to market games that sell.

I think a friend of mine does this fantasy marching band stuff

I didn't have much time to check it out because I was too busy winning at FIFA 2009 ( :oops: )

Yes and there could be catastrophies periodically like infighting and backbiting. It would be awesome. Someone call the Sim City guys and get them on it!!

No, but if you type in 'Yell: "Naked drumline"!' the whole band gets suspended for the rest of that turn...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

They could have it start with Middle school recruiting and sucking up to the school counselors.

Easy, effective marching band simulator:

Locate unpainted cinder-block wall.

Bang head against said wall. Hard.

Repeat until satisfied.

Never again. Never!
