Most Random Places You've Practiced

[mafzal]

What are the craziest or most random places you guys have practiced? How about the best places?

 

[Waleed]

Usually when we arrive at competitions the night before, we go exploring and find a conference room in the hotel that is not being used.
...and then we get kicked out.

Also practiced in snow covered parking lots. (hello upstate ny)

 

[Mukandpuria]

Waleed i think i just beat you


practice at night in a parking lot with no shoes, and its raining

also the floor is all slanted and cracking

 

[Ashqe]

Haha Abhi, that's pretty intense. I can't beat that but having regular practices in a conference room at Bentley is pretty random but it still works pretty good so whatever. Abhi knows what I'm talking =P

hotel rooftop at charlotte while MAD BHANGRA WATCHED MY TEAM WITH RAPIST EYES haha

I remember teaching a girl part of a new song in between two bookshelves at the school library! haha. We use hallways, basketball courts, classrooms, etc. when we need. Always kinda fun to hunt for places, isn't it? lol

"I remember teaching a girl part of a new song in between two bookshelves at the school library! haha"

It's nice to throw your two cents in, but I don't believe it...

 

[Jeeti]

you know...not to be that guy....but if you read the last two posts...there are multiple "directions" you can go from here...lets keep it PG...jhummar between the self help and the cooking section is where it stops.

 

[Jeeti]

Also, for those of you that have been to fusion and the Renaissance Center...find a practice spot there without security running up in there AND somehow managing not to get lost is a feat in itself..

haha bhangra blizzard, outside in a random shopping center parking lot with a windchill of -15 degs.

 

[Vick]

Usually book shelves have multiple numbers for example A760.001, A760.022... But your book shelves go directly A760.001 to B230.005... Something sounds a little fishy.... I'll pass on the offer though, I'm happily not single... Interesting pick up line though... hahaha... I'm kidding, but I do agree with Jeeti, you could twist that post around in soooo many different ways... Keep it G rated will you?? hahahahahhaa...

 

[Saleem]

outside an office building in boston, taking advantage of the mirror-reflection windows hahaha

 

[Kaur]

At DDA we practised in a Bank of America parking lot, then someone called the cops on us, and they asked us to leave, but got pictures with their car...hehhe

 

[Nikhil]

12 am to 3 am outside in the Student commons...and lots of people were watching as our chadreh were getting blown up from the wind LOL

 

[rajkaran]

Hahaha this is awesome

Empty, shady Home Depot parking lot at 1:30 am with the music blasting from the car...good times!

 

[Sher]

2 AM outside the student commons... o wait that wasn't practice. we were just bored and wanted to play dhol/dance so we went outside the commons after having a "drumoff" with some random hippy playing african drums

 

[Arjun Barua]

Nikhil,

Remember our practice the night before the Zee competition in NYC? We begged the security guard of an underground parking garage to let us practice in there, and he did! There were some NICE cars in there, too!

 

[zagreus]

There's too many to name...
With Gator Bhangra (at Bash last year), I had to practice playing dhol with the team and they had to get used to me (because i'm not from UF). Right after the mixer, we practiced in the very hall we had it in. After we got kicked out...then we were looking for a parking garage to practice in, and not many were open at the time. Plus, it was raining outside...and then we met a stranger that sounded strangely like Russell Peters, and made jokes like the man. He ended up finding us a garage and he watched us as we practiced. Bear in mind, I was playing my dhol pretty loud and people outside the garage were looking up trying to find out what's going on.

With GMU, we've practiced anywhere we can on campus. We sometimes had to practice on the roof of a parking garage on campus, and I pumped out the music from my car...it was about 11pm or midnight usually. Or for QC, we practiced at the garage for the Hampton Inn, the funniest part...we were in an area that said "construction site", that clearly didn't stop us. And for a competition in Norfolk, we practiced at our hotel and anywhere else. Pretty exciting times...
I'm sure more will come soon! Another season, another season of varying practice sites.

 

[NavDheri]

haha...ummm

hotel lobby in Vancouver with music blasting from a cell phone. =D

in a parking garage at 4 in the morning blasting music from a car...till cops came and gave us tickets and kicked us out. -___-

at the airport waiting for our flight at 11pm. that was awesome...=D

 

[zagreus]

Mariam, honestly, you're in a forum with majority guys...what more do you expect?

Plus you're attractive...
that'd really inspire them to take things the wrong way!
