I think several schools in America have sister schools in both England and Ireland. One of the colleges I was looking at, (Maimi of Ohio) has a branch in England, where one can study for a semester...for no added cost. I think this works both ways...so maybe you could take a semester off from your college, and see if you like america, while still progessing with your studies

lol remix0r. I wish things turned out like that.

As for my current ideas, yeah, they did kinda suck, but I talked with my core base (the 17 or so kids who already commited are helping me get this effort wroking) and they created some better ideas. Some of these kids are pretty proficent in photoshop, so we created some pretty funny ad ideas.

evil, we already made one of those, but more the marching band, instead of the steel drum band.

I must beg to differ about the nerd comments. Its this imaige we're trying to kill. at most schools, I dont think this would work, but it might work at my school.

3 out of the last 4 student body presidents have been memebers of marching band. I running this year, and currently there is no opposistion.

The band only died 2 years ago, as opposed to decades ago. And we were pretty damn good while we were there. We graduated 11 people, and there were budget cuts, so we were the first thing to go.

The all powerful football people are on our ass to get one again. I guess they hate steel drums.

So...yeah, I think its possible. Plus, if I am able to bring band back from the dead, it would show colleges that I have leadership skills, which might help overshadow some of my more iffy grades.

Also Unilin, you must have never seen a D-1 College marching band. As Im sure Mills would tell you, (I think he plays for FLorida State), these groups are nothing like the desciption you gave them.

I come before you, oh mighty-creative AGS mast0rz, with a problem.

As some of you know, the marching band at my high school was cut in favor of a steel drum band. This year, the school administration promised me that if I can convice 30 kids to sign up, we can have a new one. The propaganda blitz is on.

After a few semi-sucsessful stunts, I think I've found a medium that might be a winner. The school newspaper is selling ad space in it for the rest of the year. I am going to go buy ad space in every issue to pimp marching band, but I need some clever ad ideas.

Heres what I have
a) Picture of little middle schooler with uncle sam beard taped to his face, pointing towards the reader. It says ROBBIE WANTS YOU TO JOIN THE MARCHING BAND
b) Picture of a cute kitten. Caption: Join Marching Band today, or the kitten gets it,
c) All Text: Join marching band...you know you arent good enough for football.

I'd like some more ideas. The ad can have pictures, text, anything.

actually, if you want to work in the US games industry, it would be waaaay eaiser to just go to school here. Nintendo, EA, Lucusarts (I think) etc often recruit graduate students on campus, so it would be much easier to get your foot in the door.
Plus, lots of schools give generous aid to out of country students.

you should be able to switch jobs. They say that you need to be a citizen or whatever to hold down these jobs, but witha green card handy, you can stay in america over 30 years without becoming a citizen, like my mom did. I think it really depends on where you are from.

I play in a couple of bands.  some school preformace groups, and a jazz band called PANDAmonium. My jazz group played for 700 kids in the school talent show, (we played Vehicle by Blood Sweat and Tears, and got third place)

I have however, played drum set with my school's steel drum band for over 15 thousand people. (My show got picked up on TV and radio across ohio) That ruled
