14-song Gold streak

This week we played 24 songs, including last week's DLC plus every song with a score below 300K. Our total score is now 929M, up from 907M, helping us climb the "All Songs" Leaderboards.

The pathmaster (Trapper) had some neat paths for us right from the start (improvised, but effective), leading to a 14-song Gold star streak, including all 5 new Alice in Chains songs. It was "Saucy Jack"'s tricky drum chart that finally broke the streak. All in all, we ended up getting 21 of 24 Gold stars for the night. Sylvie and Phoenix both had great sessions: her numerous FCs and his endurance on a few tough drum songs allowed us to squeeze a few more Gold stars.

To finish every song with a score below 300K, we also played 2 of the game's instrumentals, plus one song with some at Medium or Hard difficulty ("They're Red Hot"). These are not counted in the stats for the 24 songs. The only song where we could not get more than 300K is "Thank You Boys" by Jane's Addiction. This groovy jazz tune is really short, plus it doesn't help that it only has one vocal phrase.

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 24 songs: Gold stars (21), 5 stars (3, for "Saucy Jack", "Shhh..." and "ABC")
- Sylvie was the "Top Performer" for the most songs (16), followed by Bongoo (11), Raikan (5) and Phoenix (4)
- Sylvie had the most FCs (9), followed by Bongoo (5) and Raikan (4)
- The Trapper also acted as roadie when Phoenix dropped his drum sticks, just in time for us to hit the next unison bonus... :)
