MARCHING BANDS: [ PDF] [ JPZ]
PROGRAMS: [Adobe Reader] [Crossword Solver]
The eighth year of the Biz Quig’s Marching Bands starts up next Monday. Insanity. Where’d the time go? I guess this is part and parcel with having a young daughter. Time speeds by on a rocket ship. Anyway, I digress. Marching Bands. If you a fan of my Themeless Mondays, you might like these puzzles as well. No Across Lite, just a JPZ or a PDF. If you need a place to do JPZ, may I recommend this site?
Now, for the uninitiated, here are the instructions for this variety puzzle:
In this themeless variant, answers appear in two different directions, Rows and Bands. Each Row has two answers side by side with no black square separating them (except for row 7). And Each band starts at the lettered square and goes around the grid clockwise, one answer after another all the way around the circle. Every square appears in two answers.
Simple enough. Anyway, enjoy this puzzle. And if you’re interested in signing up for this feature, YEAR EIGHT starts up on April 25th! $15 gets you a year of these puzzles (PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred). Hell, if you’ve got time on your hands, and you want all of the previous years, bump it up to $50 for the entire batch. That would be a total of 185 puzzles (there were a couple of bonuses in there). Ye gods. All right. Jump in everybody.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
I sent $50; now how do I get the puzzles?
Hi Brendan. I have been getting the Marching Bands puzzles, but haven’t gotten one recently. Since it is bi-weekly, not sure which week it’s due, but I don’t recall getting any puzzle for the last two weeks.
Hi—
I used to subscribe to your Marching Bands, and would really like to keep subscribing, but couldn’t figure out how. I got to this old post by following a link in today’s Daily Crossword post. I can now follow the link and subscribe, but I would like to purchase the past puzzles as well, and the link to PayPal wouldn’t allow me to change the amount from $15. Can you tell me how to proceed?
Thanks.
How exactly can I buy a years worth of the marching bands?
I subscribed to Marching Bands via Pay Pal a month ago, but have not received confirmation or any puzzles. Please advise. Thanks.
The clue for 3a should be “Successfully angles for.” That slowed me down for a good while.
Can anyone tell me how to download the jpz software? I have a new PC and cannot open the marching bands. I’m also in Europe at the moment if that has anything to do with it. Cannot find it online.
