Quiz

[spookybiking]

I was wondering if any of the experienced Knowledged brass players moderators or members would like to put a quiz together sometime?

i can't do it im 17 :cry:

Spooky, you must have read my mind.
I was only talking about this last night to Wonky Baton.
I'm quite happy to put together a regular quiz if people are interested.
I'll add a poll to your original thread to see what others think.

Well Done Spooky - Great Idea.

:wink:

 

[TheMusicMan]

Yup - I'm game.....

 

[BoozyBTrom]

Will there be prizes involved. :wink: :wink:

 

[Heather]

Excellent idea

 

[twigglet]

I'm up for it. Don't think I'll do very well as I'm not too hot on the band history stuff but I'll do my best!

 

[super_sop]

sounds good to me too

 

[Fishsta]

John... is there a quiz module for phpBB or should we look towards designing our own quiz site?

Or even... tell you what, I'll do it, and post a link here, that will demonstrate it better.

 

[PeterBale]

A quizz is a good idea, although I've never got more than half of the 4barsrest questions right - maybe I'm not such a BOC after all :!: :!:

 

[HBB]

Will there be a kiddies section????


I think that I might be bottom of the pile in this one ....... (I'm a good guesser though! :shock


Yea

I think its a good idea ..... definately something to look up for the future!

Yep, its a good idea!

I think the result of the poll (so far) says it all! 100%!

One of the problems with polls is that those who are not interested simply do not respond. The spin-doctors could look at this and say that, of more than 500 members, only a dozen or so appear to be interested - after all, it is LOCAL ELECTION DAY.

 

[dyl]

Yes, but at least it's showing that there are people interested -and that there is sufficient interest to set up the quiz.

Oh, you've just reminded me - I must go and vote in this Assembly thingy on the way to band practice tonight!

I certainly wasn't expecting this sort of response but as the poll is 100% in agreement so far I'll offer a prize to the winner of the first quiz.

If Roger will permit the indulgence of a moment OT, an aside about the idiosyncracies of our political system: When they held the first referendum on devolution in the 1970's I, an englishman living in Wales could vote, whereas my (future) wife, a welshwoman but living in England at the time, could not!

a quiz sounds like a good idea

Ohhh that will be interesting we have the Alan Catheral arrangement. We are putting it on the CD of his music we are doing in June.

 

[Roger Thorne]

Hi Gareth,

I didn't realise it had already been arranged - cracking march though, particularly for Trombones and Basses.

:wink:
