I have the privilege to be a member of an amazing community orchestra: The Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra.

That’s right, folks. We’re an orchestra and we’re gamers.

We’re a non-profit that’s in our tenth year of existence. (10 years! That’s a not-insignificant amount of time!) You can listen to us on major streaming platforms like Spotify. Here's a track from our first album:

As of the typing if this, we’re heading into the homestretch of our crowdfunding campaign to fund the recording of our second studio album, Crystals in Time. It's our love letter to the Final Fantasy games featuring some pretty fantastic tracks including at least one song you've probably heard before. This is a huge deal and we’ve got a ways to go.

So I’m turning to you, Hellsite of my heart. Donate if you’re able, spread the word around if that’s more your speed. We all do what we can when we can.

There are some fantastic perks in our Indiegogo campaign including a chance to give these cozy critters a home:

A Hoedown Chicken

Hoedown Chicken Dumplins

These plushes are handmade by Brana Rose Co and will only be available to backers of our Indiegogo campaign.

There's also some other amazing perks and WMGSO branded merch available as a thank you for supporting us.

And now, the big ask:

Anyway! Thanks for getting this far! I'm looking forward to recording some terrific tunes for y'all this summer!

Some behind the scenes shots of yesterday’s WMGSO concert (as well as post-concert karaoke). This has been an absolutely incredible season and I can’t wait until we’re all back together again for the next one! #WMGSO (at Rachel M.

Look, I don’t like advertising for shit, I’ll be the first to tell you that. But this is something my orchestra’s spent 18+ months on to get to this point.

Are you going to be at DisCon III (aka the 79th World Science Fiction Convention aka Worldcon) in Washington, DC on December 15-19?

Need something to do at 8:00 pm on Thursday, December 16th?

I’ve got excellent news for you! There will be an actual, honest-to-goodness orchestra playing at 8:00 pm in the Regency Ballroom! Now that we’re Program Official, I can excitedly tell everyone about it! See?

That’s us! I’m in the choir (have been since the beginning). We’re awesome and if you’re at DisCon, you should come give us a listen. That’s 8:00 pm EST on December 16th! Tell your friends.
