Orchestra version

Band version

[ihavetoomuchhomeworkforthis]

Me, accidentally lying: "I don't know what I'm doing, or... why I'm here."

Mr. Band Director, helpfully: "You usually sit in that corner over there" *points through the window of the doors to where my instruments are*

Explanation:

I was pacing the hallway in front of the band rooms, wasting time on my phone waiting for my mom to show up for uniform stuff (preparing for a trip), and the band director had already passed me one time to unlock the door, but I didn't want to go in because the marimba guy was playing marimba alone and had presumably been there ever since school ended two hours earlier, so I didn't want to bother him by opening the door

So when the band director was passing me for the second time I felt like I had to (awkwardly) attempt to explain my presence.

Abbacchio doodles because I felt like drawing but also did NOT feel like drawing

"NO! And I don't want to!"

WITH ME....save me WITH ME

Goodnight out there, whatever you are.

Ok...after several hours..here is (FINALLY) everything that happened in Act 2! :D

Cheers when there were 59 seconds left

Played the drowning theme when there were 10 seconds left

We were told to take out our phones during the I Am All of Me intro

Immediately everyone started cheering when I Am All of Me started

Someone screamed when they showed Maria during IAAOM

I've never heard What I'm Made Of before so I had to mumble along the words XD

Someone kept barking like a dog (going "hoo hoo hoo!"). Can't help but feel that's a reference to Snapcube ("That's so sick it makes me wanna bark like a dog!")

Everyone started screaming at the intro to Open Your Heart

The guitarist didn't do the riff during the instrumental break in Open Your Heart :(

Everyone screamed the second Knight of the Wind started

The audience sang the "woahs" at the start of KOTW

Everyone cheered when Sonic's Knight transformation was onscreen

Audience waved during the second "woah" bit

Johnny did a sword slash at the end of KOTW

Clap along at the start of His World

People cheered when Silver and Blaze showed up oncreen

I think someone screamed when Mephiles showed up

The cheers were deafening when Fist Bump started-

Cheers when Ian Jr showed up

Ian Jr showed up more than Gadget during Fist Bump!

Johnny straight up yelled "We fucking love you!!!"

Johnny fist bumped an audience member

Audience members in the front were jumping at the end of Fist Bump

Johnny asked "Do you wanna..." And the audience started finishing with multiple different songs names or quotes. My guess was "follow me" to lead into City Escape. The correct answer was Reach for The Stars

Wave-along during RftS

Everyone started waving around their flashlights during the end of RtFS

Sing along during Endless Possibilities

Johnny hit an E note at the end of EP

Johnny asked us to get angry for Break Through It All!

Got goosebumps when everyone screamed "you'll wake the beast inside!" and "Don't look down!"

The last chord of BTIA was discordant and dissonant but so cool!!

We're the loudest crowd yet, according to the guitarist-

It was someone's birthday so we all have them a birthday clap! 🎂🎁

Because it's Halloween they performed Pumpkin Hill! 🎃

Everyone started screaming at the start of Pumpkin Hill

Johnny said he wasn't comimg out until everyone stood up for Undefeatable

When everyone screamed "Face your fear" I realized just how much screaming is in the Sonic Frontiers soundtrack-

We totally broke the sound barrier at the end of Undefeatable. The crowd was cheering so loud!!

They were supposed to do the fakeout ending like in the 30th anniversary version, but because we were such a good audience they didn't do it

Everyone screamed the "woo!" during City Escape

Johnny went out into the audience for City Escape

I swear we broke the sound barrier during Live and Learn

I was convinced L&L would never end because Johnny kept shouting people out onstage! :)

Johnny said he wished tonight would never end and he got teared up earlier in the performance.

They played Green Hill as exit music while the credits rolled, and i heard some audience members singing to it.

While I am sad some of my favorite orchestral medleys got cut, like the Sega Saturn Medley, the Sonic 06 Medley, and the Sonic Colors Medley, I do realize that they clearly wanted to focus more on the rock section, what with the songs added. Overall I had an absolute blast and I hope a full video surfaces or I can find my audio of act 2!! So excited if/when it returns to Chicago!! 🦔💙

📚🎼☁️ + are you lonely?

⋯✧・♪♫♪・✧⋯ "Are you lonely?" The voice asks and it's a voice he's been dying to hear for ages. There is a body of red setting just on the other side of the fire he's made at his campsite in this forest. A body of red and shimmering horns and golden eyes he misses each and every day.

He doesn't need to answer because they both know the truth. Everyone he loves is gone. Either somehow survived that wretched storm in the kingdom or lost in this damnable hell. Who knows how many of them got pulled into the pillar when it expanded? Who knows how many of them were lost when the musta pilari rotated to life to claim land and sea alike. They are just helpless bystanders that got consumed all the same.

And that was the problem with Mistericans. Unless he found them, they would never know who got pulled in and who was lost because they simply faded out when they died. There would be nothing left of them to find anyway.

"Are you lonely, Sitriini?" The voice chimes again, deep and warm like the sun's embrace that he misses more every day he's stuck in this damn place and it's been years. Probably decades at this point. He's lost track of the time but it feels like it stretches on forever and doesn't at the same time.

"Talk to me Pikkuveli."

And that's the last straw. Orange eyes are narrowing at the shadow of the King as he sets, perfect and pristine, just as he remembers him on the other side of the fire. The musician cannot say the same.

His hair is filthy, fallen down and full of dirt and who knows what. Soot and dirt cling to his skin and his clothing is torn in ways he doesn't know it can be mended. His tie is gone, his vest discarded. A dark cloak hangs over his shoulders where it once was and thick gloves now cover his hands as they rest just below the braces that still wrap his wrists.

"You aren't real." He groans out with a narrowing gaze even if he wish beyond hope that the man before him was. He could pray and beg the Celestial Mother to just let him have this one thing.

"I'm real enough to be here with you, Sitriini." The phantom speaks.

"But you're not real enough to do anything but annoy me Helakan, so leave me alone."

"We both know that's the last thing you want isn't it?"

That bright orange glare is the only thing about him that still contains any light as eyes narrow on the solar king.

"Are you just going to keep following me around and torturing me?"

"That's entirely up to you, Pikkuveli. I'll be here as long as you need me to be."

Its so hard to sit here and make decisions like "am I allowed to put Sonic Adventure 2 above Wind Waker"
