Life like a movielife
I didn’t want to call this post life imitating art because I think that phrase is somewhat cliche’ and ill-used since most modern movies can’t be considered art.
I love it when I see real life becoming a visceral mesh of moments that are just too good to be true. Like something you’d see from a movie. The following is proof that life can really be as cool as a movie.
A group of high-school students formed a band (not sure how long ago) and scheduled their band to play at the school talent show.
Their musical choice was a theme that was probably known by every male in the audience. The Halo Theme Song by Marty O’Donnell for the game Halo.
The first time I played Halo this theme struck me like an piece of rebar between the eyes. It is one of the most memorable themes ever composed for game. Scratch that. Ever composed. Period. It’s on my top 50 list of memorable themes.
The band Corporeal plays an astonishing rendition of the theme that is both awe inspiring and technical. Their performance and stage presence is exciting to watch. They break durring the music to play another theme that causes the audience to go into an uproar. Their set ends with confetti and ribbons and the stage being rushed by the audience. Everyone cheers and just when you think it’s over the band cracks back into the theme and the audience on stage begins to dance. The curtain falls.
I’m sure there will be greater moments in these artist’s lives, but I think that this moment will be the greatest moment of their younger years.

yes. “Technical” is a verb. We snowboarders use it all the time

Those guys are amazing! And I agree that this performance will probably be the greatest moment of their high school years. For me, the greatest moment of high school had nothing to do with my grades or what I learned. It was one event that was really cool, a lot of fun and made me feel good about myself.
