Epic. My class did that last year and I tried desperately to get someone to do one on Nyan Cat but to no avail :(

Good luck moches! <3

Pretty sweet topic actually. Rhythm gaming is an important, if not small, aspect of the music industry these days, so it's actually quite a pertinent thing to present on.
GL with your presentation :)

I wish like hell stepmania existed when i was in hs. I have a friend who sells music instruments who recommends ffr as a good rythm practice.

I convinced my 5th period teacher to let me play ffr during class as practice for band... I had the entire class standing behind me watching.

Good times, until she actually talked to my band teacher and yelled at me for lying.

You should get someone to record this. I would really like to see how you present this, and how people may react to it.

damn, you missed me by a few hours. I saw this a couple of periods after I had already done my presentation lol

also didn't think of this but what a good idea. sadly the keyboard at school sucked and I got like halfway through one song before quitting out

here's the rundown:

Response was surprisingly very positive! the majority of my presentation centered around how stepartists express different songs in different ways:

I talked about color notes (mostly about solos and color theory), but I think my classmates probably enjoyed the pictures the most. One girl actually exclaimed at how pretty the different colors were.

The mine section was totally fun and I got to make some cool sound effects to explain the ideas, so win there.

The biggest response was probably to my explanation of freezes (double freezes, overlapping freezes, minifreezes), though.

As I mentioned before, the keyboard was horrible; didn't register more than two notes at once, abruptly dropped longer freezes and was generally a pain in the butt to play with but I don't think anybody really cared. People were probably just glad that somebody had a legit excuse to play video games, which is awesome in its own right, so that was a relief.

The best part, though, was when the teacher actually asked me a few in-depth questions on stepcharting (in the presentation, I had mentioned that I had made over 200 files). I was not expecting that at all and it made my day to know that something like Stepmania could even get across to actual educators and be seen as a valid form of musical expression.

Very fun day, all in all.

(By the way, if you're curious, I played Gundam's Like A Man and Puppet's Sin.)

Puppet's Sin is good enough for me ;]

I'm so glad that it turned out okay.
You know what that means?


STEPSUCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you older than me? I'm 25 and Stepmania* didn't really become popular until I was in high school, and even then, not until late freshman/early sophomore year, for me.


*Random note: At the time, DWI was the main engine everyone used until it faded out of obscurity due to Stepmania's meteoric rise.

Re: so we have to do a presentation in music class tomorrow
 

Nice one moches (o:

Stepmania to surpass DJMax ratings by early 2012 !!
