anyways! guys! at the meeting (and those of you who can't make it please email me your ideas or get on skype and chat on there! my name on skype is luvan1me) pleaseee pleaseee come up with more ideas because we have only a few (from me, nick, tyler, fallon, and i'm getting some from kinky later). so far i'm the only one doing any thinking up here, so i would like to here more from u cuz i hate it when ppl shoot down my own ideas, when they can't give me any.
so please give the panel a headstart!
NOW! about the DANCE! it's 50/50 at this point because i have been told there is another person who is interested, but she is going to decide who has the best idea. (more like convenient) and this is what i asked of her to see what kind of ideas and ballroom dance she wants to see. these are the ideas that i told her that may work (and i of course let her know about the ideas we talked about today after the meetup with some of our group members)
setting: this might take at either radiant garden castle or mickey's caste (depending on whether or not u like our walk on quick scenes), at a ball with the people (attendees) of radiant garden (kumoricon)
characters are from KH: birth by sleep (the recent new game)
dance music: here is a few of the songs that a few of us thought would be appropriate. hopefully you like this idea. it incorporates disney classic music (beauty and the beast, aladdin, pocahontas, etc. you name it) as well as some final fantasy (ff8, ff9 mostly cuz those are the ff that were in the game), and of course the wonderful orchestral KH music! we have a list of sooo many songs for the dance that you just have to love it! i mean who doesn't love disney classics? either instrumental or with voices (i think the intrumentals are absolutely beautiful!)
~song 01 (KH)~
~song 02 (KH)~
~song 03 (KH)~
~song 04 (KH)~
~pocahontas~
~beauty and the beast 01~ might be our starting song of the night possibly
~beauty and the beast 02~
~aladdin~
~little mermaid~
~little mermaid 02 (maybe the 2nd one instead of the 1st, tell me what you think)
~sleeping beauty~
~cinderella~
~final dance song~
there are other songs on this list as well: "be our guest" (beauty and the beast) "wish upon a star" (pinnochio) "a dream is a wish your heart makes" (cinderella) "with a smile and a song" (snow white), "world on my own" (alice in wonderland), "go to distance" (hercules), "you'll be in my heart" (tarzan) [probably phil collins version], "i'm wishing", "some day my prince will come" (snow white), and there is a much longer list.
these are some of the ideas i and fallon thought about a bit, but we aren't sure because the director of programming was kinda iffy about skits to begin with cuz of the part of the dance last year that the ouran host club sat the audience on the floor (a NONO) and did their scene. so i told her more of a walk on quick skit while everyone is standing (like a real ball)! so read on to see what i had as an example:
opening: start off with the above opening song (or opening song), and hopefully get the party going by having the main host (terra) introduce the ball "welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Kingdom Hearts (and Kumoricon) Ball of 2011! We really appreciate you coming here tonight! Please enjoy yourselves to the lovely music, and the lovely people here and take an opportunity to be not just yourself, but someone else, and enjoy yourself! isn't this why we are here?" (lawl cosplayers) (or any corny funny line w/e we can think up of)
(music will be playing in the background softly during this scene kinda how a ball would be doing)
then one of the other hosts (ventus) will try to dance with another hostess (aqua) but will be doing it "wrong" or being a clutz then terra will face the crowd and kindly intercept and say to him "excuse me but may i?" faces the crowd and let's them know "those of you who do not know how to ballroom dance. this is a simple example" and he takes over and starts dancing with the aqua, and the other hosts follow suit and then he will face the crowd again and let the "orchestra" (sound crew) know to cue the start of the ball's music "so let the dance.. BEGIN!" *cue in music* then ppl will start dancing etc have fun letting the dance flow so ppl can settle. (so anything like that there dialog will work)
middle of dance: there will be some of our hosts dancing on the stage (so we don't clutter the main ball floor and can keep an eye out for the crowd), and while they are dancing one of the hosts (terra) will zoom by running to the other end and exit, then another character (ventus) comes chasing after the other "terraaa!" *runs off stage*, then the final host (aqua) comes jogging after the 2 others saying "i'm sorry! i didn't mean to step on your foot!" and exits. so it'll make the crowd laugh a bit while they are dancing. (something funny i guess doesn't necessarily mean those lines)
"ending" scene: so when the last song is announced and finished, the 3 main characters and the rest of the crew will just say thank you to everyone for enjoying and having fun at the ball, and they have a good evening "and a funny quick saying like 'and may the darkness be with u" or something (i would looove to incorporate vanitas with that line sooo much right now lol cuz vanitas needs some love)
SO! i'm taking volunteers! those of you who would like to participate (which includes standing by the door headcounting in/out, making sure people don't start to make riots in the ball, check for dress code, greeting guests [u don't HAVE to dance with people! just say hello or something if you like. it's not mandatory! you can just stand/dance on the stage and just wave at people or stare at them like this O-e lol], you can help us, the hosts, personally before/after the dance to set up/take down ballroom backgrounds/props etc.) so let us know what and if you are interested! thanks!
