Geocache Description:


From the second J in JJTally brings you the second, terrifying installment of puzzle caches!

I am a Music Education major here at K-State and my major pretty much consumes every facet of my life. As the first J gave you a little taste of his major, I would like to give you a taste of mine. If any of you are familiar with written music, you will notice the piece below is far from Mary Had a Little Lamb. Mary's melody and structure is called "tonal" in a musician's vocabulary. Of course, there are many other types of songs than those like Mary. For example, the one below is called "atonal" or "12-tone." The trick of this puzzle is for YOU to understand and interpret what 12-tone truly is. Essentially, 12-tone is simply a compositional tool (for the composer to create a piece) or for analyzing (for those poor souls looking at the piece to get in the head of the composer--a.k.a you!).

The cache is NOT at the given coordinates. The cache is located on private property and permission has been granted to place the cache, so please be very respectful to the area. The property owner asks that you stay in the open area and do NOT cross any fences, as you will not need to cross any to find this cache. The cache is a camo painted lock-n-lock container with "Official Geocache" markings.

So strap on in, geocachers. It might get hairy, but rest assured you will learn and develop a new appreciation for us musicians!
