Tonic Sol-Fa
Brought to you by Tonic Sol-Fa.
*dangles ticking pocket watch*
You're getting veeeeerrrrryyy sleeeepy.
You will go to www.tonicsolfa.com.
You will ignore the annoying Flash graphics and the lack of personal bios on the guys and proceed straight to the tour calendar.
You will learn when Tonic Sol-Fa is performing in your area.
You will buy a ticket, and one for a friend.
You will attend the concert.
You will start grinning as soon as the music starts.
You will be amazed that four medium-sized slacker types can make such a big sound.
You will compare their groovy shoes to those of every other musical ensemble you've ever seen, and Tonic Sol-Fa will come out miles ahead.
You will learn who's who. You will figure out that the twitchy blond lead singer is Shaun. The adorable, floor-shaking bass is Jared. The tenor/vocal percussionist/dance captain/class clown is Greg. The sweet baritone with the retro mustache is Mark.
You will develop at least one insta-crush.
You will leave Jared alone; he is mine.
You will wonder how they can ba-dum-bum so dang fast so continually.
You will enjoy innovative arrangements of cover tunes.
You will be impressed by catchy originals.
You will clap along even when not asked to because the rhythm is so infectious.
You will, if asked, answer questions directed at you from the stage ? unlike a certain wet blanket at last night's concert, who gave them next to nothing to work with and came off looking like a complete jerk.
You will fidget impatiently through intermission.
You will applaud the band's return to the stage, and not just because they executed a wardrobe change during the break.
You will remark to yourself that Shaun's voice is slightly unusual, you're not quite sure how, and that you really, really like it.
You will watch with interest as Greg controls the stage lighting with a set of foot pedals on the floor in front of his stool.
You will make a mental note to sit closer to Mark's side next time so you can hear his mellow harmonies better.
You will mentally volunteer to polish Jared's tambourine.
You will chair dance.
You will be very disappointed when the show ends.
You will applaud wildly.
You will listen raptly during the off-mic encore.
You will be left wanting more.
You will attend the meet-and-greet after the concert.
You will shoo stragglers from your path on the way to the lobby.
You will receive a warm handshake and a friendly introduction from each band member.
You will answer their questions about where you're from and what you do, because they are sincere.
You will obtain illegible autographs.
You will take photos of cute, smiling singers.
You will buy all of Tonic Sol-Fa's albums.
You will PayPal Jugglernaut $25.00 for giving you such great advice.
When I count to three, you will awaken feeling refreshed and craving some fantastic a cappella music. You will remember all that I have said and will follow my instructions.
One. Two. Three.
