Hey Anon (forgive my shortening it - I'm always paranoid I'll spell it wrong for some reason .... ;-p)

First off, my thanks to FireflyFans.net for putting that thread in the current news. If I can get enough emails from people this concert will become a REALITY very soon. I've already spoken with Nathan Fillion's people about his involvement, and I'm seeing a movie next week J August Richards (Gunn, from Angel) and hope to bring him in as well. Start there and the rest will follow!

Conductor scores / sheet music for film and TV, with the exception of little piano books like Greg Edmonson has put together, are extremely rare. The studios tend to clamp down on those scores very tightly, out of paranoia of unlicensed performances. At least, that's the only reason I can think of. Which is of course stupid because it also prevents licensed performances! So sheet music from the orchestra parts are not likely to surface (almost all the music from Firefly, Buffy, and Angel was done with a computer anyway. On Firefly for instance, only some select violin passages, cello passages, some woodwinds especially the ethnic ones, and voices were live. All the strings and orchestral stuff was MIDI)

Regarding a CD and/or DVD of the concert: that will be quite a feat, but I wll do all in my power to get that done. If I can bring Joss himself in that'll make it easier, but we'll see. That raises the expense enormously. But I would LOVE to have that as a gift to this amazing community of supporters. How do you not well up when you see that footage from ComicCon a few years ago when the crowd came to first see Serenity? The real world Browncoats are an amazing group.

I'm working on it! Thanks so much for your vocalized support! At the very least we can make an 'unofficial' CD of the concert to have for ourselves.

cheers!

If you need help with a CD or DVD, you might want to check with the Done the Impossible people. They've done a DVD and CD before. They know how to get-it-done.

I wonder if there will be a DVD from the Browncoat Cruise they are organizing.

I live very very far from CA but would be willing to come if you can get some of the cast to come to the concert. It sounds like an awesome Idea. I am sure I could even get a few other browncoats to come!

I'm from Minnesota, so it is kinda far but I was planning to visit some family in LA this spring. So if you can tell me when, I will change my travel plans so that we can all come.

I would help organize a concert in the Twin Cities or Chicago if you're still thinking about doing a concert series. If a series of concerts were done, where would be the probable spots?

LA, Minneapolis or Chicago?, Houston?... we have a lot of browncoats in Canada too right?

I'd been calling it the "Musical 'Verse of Joss Whedon" - that too formal for ya'll?

Part of that is that while I would to really feature Firefly and Serenity, there are absolutely amazing moments through the scores to both Buffy and Angel, and I wanted to represent those.

As a sneak peak (hopefully!), I'm also trying to secure the rights so I can make an orchestral medley of the Buffy and Angel theme songs ....

I've gotten some great emails back so far - I'm planning on adding a forum to my webpage so that people can basically just sign it there as a 'guestbook.'

cheers!

After talking to some other browncoats I know from the other side of the US from LA, we have all decided that we would attend your concert when it goes down. You have support and help from Michigan, Missouri and Tennessee!
