So. 6SC has performed a total of three, count 'em, THREE whole shows. One of which was a real life paying gig! The first one, as I've written about before was at St. Mac's "P.I.T.P."
The next show, was at the famed Port City Cafe (Facebook link) run by Chris Weaver. Our band was the opening set, and we played the original, Six Speed Coffin; Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls; Brad's still-unnamed song; and of course, since it was the Hallowe'en edition, the Monster Mash. Then, minutes later our brown-pumpkin-costumed host (Chris) came and gave us our pay. A twenty dollar bill, in a fancy envelope. And, since we are a TRUE band, we went out and spent it. On addictive and unhealthy stuff. McDonalds. Then, as another act as a true band, we donated some of our proceeds to charity. The McDonald's spare-change-donation-box.
Our latest performance was at St. Mac's Hallowe'en assembly. I even had to skip school, at Saint John High, to go perform. That's how dedicated I am. But back to the beginning. Brad showed up at my place at 8:00 that morning. We loaded the drums into the back of his dad's truck with numb fingers, and brought it to St. Macs. We offloaded the drums into the hallway beside their gym, and then brought them to be locked into the SRC room until performance-time. Alright, skip forward past sleeping in Physics, Math mid-terms, and we arrive at the start of the show. Drums up onto the table-stage, logo on the screen, and we're ready... after all the other assembly crap is done... But then! Trouble strikes! Oh no! Uh... yeah, so Andrew comes over and tells us that we can only play one song. Fine, Monster Mash it is. So we play. We rock. It was great. There's video proof (however shitty quality), only thing? The audience wasn't into it.. much.. at all.. really... BUT! We still rocked. I'd know. I was there.
