I met one of the founders of the symphony, and spoke with him. I told him about Piano Squall, or perhaps we were just both talking about the subject of game music and both knew of Squall. That was most likely some time last summer or maybe the spring. The way he spoke of video games and the performance, really showed me that he had a great passion for it and so did everyone in the symphony. I can't believe I forgot about them, I think it was because I was prepping for my senior recital at the time I was talking with him. He said they were open to knew people joining, and even performing arrangements if they were available and well written.

Haa! I just got an idea, wouldn't it be grand, Rhapsody on the theme of Uematsu, for piano and orchestra? I wouldn't even know where to begin to start writing.

I'll have to go see them........


Ohhhh, Squall, are you performing anytime soon? I can't wait to hear you perform again, it's always a delight, ever since Otakon 2004.
