Dream Theater

Dream Theater is a progressive rock band whose career has spanned for nearly three decades. The band are known for their excessively long track durations (with the track "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" lasting 42 minutes) as well as incredibly complex melodic compositions that often feature the duelling of guitars and keyboards during lengthy complicated solos.

Vocalist James LaBrie has one of the highest – and varied – vocal ranges for a male within the genre which ranges from a ‘chesty low’ sound all the way to a strict soprano sound – E♭2-B♭5 (-B5) to be exact – he has sustained his range over the years despite two vocal injuries.

Guitarist John Petrucci is often cited as one of the world’s top 10 and ranked 6th in Guitar World’s “best shredders” list next to the likes of Paul Gilbert.

Bassist John Myung is known as the shy Asian dude with spider-leg-like fingers – in 2010, Music Radar bestowed Myung as the greatest bassist of all time.

Keyboardist Jordan Rudess has performed and recorded with David Bowie as well as British rock legends UFO’s Vinnie Moore.

Drummer Mike Mangini has worked with Steve Vai, Extreme and even appeared on the Discovery Channel show Time Warp, displaying his drum skills for high speed cameras. He currently holds 5 world records – one including the fastest drum solo without the use of sticks (meaning bare hands). His utmost documented honour of 1200 single strokes in 60 seconds is featured in the Guinness Book of Records.

Theatre Kids

Anyone involved in a highschool production, this includes stage crew, costumes and techies and well as the actors. They are probly the most accepting group in the school and the easiest to be friends with. Yes they are wierd but they are a cool wierd that only theatre kids understand. Theatre kids also tend to not just cling to each other like the other groups, theatre kids, especially the actors, are way to out-going to be held back by those limitations, they are probly in other groups too, so odds are the theatre kids rule the school,and have the most connections (but dont tell those rich popular kids) and one more thing, not only are they they coolest nicest group of kids in the school but most of them are smart, and were not just talking about the techies.

8-bit theater

Once a great online web comic that was perhaps one of the best available during its peak, this comic has since seen a steady decline in quality. Common theories for this include the author failing to come up with a replacement comic that anyone gives a rats ass about anymore.

In a failed attempt at an April Fools' Day joke, the author made a "joke" comic with the words "The End" as the last panel. The result was that fans wrote in thanking him for his time and devotion to the comic and for providing them with closure as lame as it was. He has since deluded himself into thinking that the fans were pulling a prank back on him when in fact they were serious about being glad the comic was finally over.
Brian Clevinger is jumping the shark with 8-bit theater these days.
