Fun with a violin - HALO Theme

[KragAxe]

My oldest son teaches violin and other stringed instrument classes. They had their summer recital last week and he was playing around after it taking audience requests. I challenged him to play the HALO theme.....

Any chance I could hire him as a minstrel to follow me at cons?

 

[ProfugoBarbatus]

That's amazing, left me grinning ear to ear.

Hah...He'd do it. My wife and I are the "Baron and Baroness" of our local chapter of a medieval group. I had my son follow me around one of the big war events once playing music. He also serenaded people outside one of the port-o-potty stations late into the night during one of the party nights and earned the nickname the "Privy-fiddler"!

He's one of those that can just listen to something and start playing it on almost any stringed instrument. At 5 yrs old, with his first violin, he would watch TV and start playing commercial theme songs.

That is tremendously awesome. It appears your whole family has a great deal of talent! You must be very proud.

Now I want to see a marine with a "tactical violin" rolling up to cons!
Kinda like that weird sci fi violin scene from Starship Troopers

 

[Reclaimara]

This is amazing. I got chills. Great skill. So... get this man a Marine armor and let him be your Halo bard.

 

[MadHeartParagon]

Oh dang, I love it. For sure get this man some armour.

I've helped him with a couple other cosplay rigs, but not HALO. He's mostly into league of legends now, but does HALO when I prod him. His younger two brothers are the main HALO ones now......and one plays guitar, the other violin, as well. Between the three, I almost have a quartet to follow me around a con!
