In the Electronics section, we believe in one thing: electricity! We represent the electric and amplified instruments of The MOB:
Because of the unique nature of our section, we have great freedom in which parts we can play, as well as their difficulty level. Our parts run the gamut from simple melody and bass lines to full transcriptions. We can probably transcribe any of our music to meet your particular needs.
We have a full set of equipment (Amp, Mixer, Battery, etc.), as well as a complement of keyboards and synthesizers. Our two coolest instruments include a purple five-stringed electric violin/viola hybrid and an Alesis QS8. (An old but high end synthesizer.) With the press of a button, you can flood the stadium with bad eighties' synth beats! [Ed. note: for the love of all that is good, please don't push the button.]
We have a giant cart (the "Battle Tank") upon which we mount our amps, mixers, batteries, and keyboards. It allows us to traverse the field in a fairly fast and frightening manner. Thanks to its high mass, relative to other MOBsters, you will likely never worry about being trampled by someone else.
