¿iKommunity Music Ensemble?!

Hey y'all,
I've had an idea to maybe get things moving in this group.
We've got some brass, woodwind, string/piano and percussion players on here and I was thinking, provided I can get enough people on board, of starting some sort of 'kommunity orchestra' (or whatever kind of music ensemble we can get, though I'm almost fully leaning towards instrumental). We could record our parts separately, maybe just via webcam, and then someone could amalgamate them (audio or video, depending what we end up with). Our first piece would prolly be one of Rhett and Link's (or a medley) that I could arrange for whatever ensemble we end up with.
If you have any other ideas feel free to make a suggestion.
If you wanna join, post some form of comfirmation and what instrument(s) ya feel comfortable enough on to do so with.
Any takers?

Also, don't not sign up because someone else already has for the instrument you wanted to, multiple parts can be given out for the same
instrument and people who signed up for more than one might not always
be playing all of them per song. Plus, I'd be just fine with, say, 50 piano players or 20 bassoonists :).

I'll periodically edit this to show who's signed up.

Ben P (Pianosaurus); horn, uke, piano
Nick Buttler (The Squeenopocker); tenor sax [pending the fall], vocals
(sung/rap)
Patrick Blake (Cthulu); drum set, guitar, piano, synth
Stoney Tyler (Trinoceros); alto sax, bass, drum set, guitar
Rachel Allen (StyxChyk); clarinet, alto sax
Femk(i)e Slangen(Yuxa); piano, recorder
BananaAnna2008(Anna Pitts)Ritchu; flute, piano
Huma (the persian gryffin); fiddle/violin

Thanks everyone for joining and for your patience. I'm considering posting this as an official KBE next week. After that, I'd wait at most 2 weeks for people to join, and then get down to business. Once we get going, I'm going to make a seperate group for us, but for now, we can hang here. I'm going to attempt to friend y'all and send out a PM with more details as I think we should keep some stuff a surprise for the rest of the Kommunity :).

As a side note, while this isn't the most serious ensemble in the world, I would like if you are going to sign up that you intend on participating (some people haven't even been back on the komm since signing up quite a bit ago, and if you are one of these once-a-month-or-less login-ers, friend me and let me know a way to contact you with details/eventual parts; otherwise I'll have to take you off the list :\). Thanks :)

I dunno if anyone else is gonna join (you would think a group with 166 members would have a liiiittle more activity :| , but not to fear, we will still be awesome :D), though anyone who wants to still join can do so at any time. In the meantime, perhaps we should start to work on some ideas, like what our first piece is gonna be and such.

I'll pm the four of you (and anyone else who joins)tomorrow in case you don't check this, but I'd like suggestions for what song(s) you want in our first piece (message me with suggestions; I want it to be a surprise to the rest of the kommunity).

I know you were talking about this idea over a year ago, but I was wondering if you've gotten anywhere yet. If not, I'm totally down with the idea! I can play

Piano (pretty darn well)

Guitar (not greatly, yet)

Percussion (of nearly any kind. I can play set, but I also love mallets like the bells, or any auxiliary percussion)

Sounds fun! I play flute and/or piccolo. Whichever is needed.
