Vital Signs Orchestra Arrangement

[21Rushisaband12]

holy crap this was done at ewing high school!!!! damn i went to notre dame high school like five minutes away from there, well i guess i should have gone to ewing cuz notre dame sucked so much and was the worst four years of my life and on top of that they never did anything nearly as cool as this... i was the only rush fan at notre dame and if you were a sophomore in 2008 i would have been in your class

[shmoogleflopper1]

Brilliant!

This is fantastic!

You must be proud..........excellent!

I am so impressed..........and you guys are so young!

Bravo! You have talent........and balls!!!!

[HartsChannel]

The 1 dislike was from one of the upright bass players that stayed up 3 nights in a row learning that bassline

[fjb6673]

That was....awesome



[MrJim2114]

well done

[ohandi]

so fucking cool. I LOVE RUSH., why cant i do this in MY SCHOOL hahah

[1985OldSkool]

Strings are the best for rock. I'd like to see and hear more violins, violas, cellos and double basses playing this kind of music than anything else. Thanks for the video.

[CircusEnvy23]

@1985OldSkool you should listen to the band Kansas's "best of" album. Their hits are pretty heavy with that kind of stuff, but they still retain a good rock beat. I suggest "No One Together"

If you like classic&progressive rock (like rush) you may like these guys

Happy listening!! :)

[1985OldSkool]

@CircusEnvy23 Let's not forget ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), who were one of the first bands to mix rock with strings almost 40 years ago.

[EGbaseball30]

this is great....i love how a skool band plays Rush...and appreciates the greatnesss of Rush...

[AnubisXII]

This is great. If we had done stuff like this in high school, I would have taken band or orchestra. But instead, I took art classes. Boy howdy. Three point perspective sure did have an impact on my life and the way I live it. Not.

I think you're on to something here. I swear, man. Stuff like this is a lot cooler to a teenager than The Flight of the Tumbleweed or whatever.

Making band and orchestra cool will certainly build some excellent musicians.

I was kidding about the Bumblebee song thing.

[farcryrush1]

BRAVO !

[sithwriter]

I LOVE U GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE SEARCH ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR RUSH ORCHESTRAL ARRANGEMENTS! May I asj who your publisher is?

[lurxtlifeson]

thanks man... actually, there is no publisher. I arranged it myself. I also did an arrangement of "The Camera Eye" and I'm almost finished "Working Man" which I'm really excited about because I've written out all the guitar solos. Every single one! It's gonna be pretty cool... I'd be happy to give you a copy of the scores, I just don't know how to do that... maybe an e-mail adress?

[NardonZ]

a rush masterpiece arranged by school kids.

that's great!

[P4tCau]

pretty cool, only thing missing is the woodwinds and the brass (especially the brass)

[lurxtlifeson]

It's a string orchestra, not a concert band or a symphonic orchestra. In our school, they don't merge the two. Only strings here.

[Mullenfreek]

Orchestra you idiot

[Gryffindorcls]

Hey, we don't sound that bad!

[Rago2112]

wow this is so cool

iwish i went to this high school

[WinNuke2003]

[cygnia]

Very impressive!

[Edenbridge]

Superb arrangement and performance!! Way to deviate from the norm!

[ibanezhoodie]

AWESOME!!! Sounds epic! Keep up the good work!

[audient]

[ABAisSCIENCE]

Sweet highschool ! ! !

[ABAisSCIENCE]

I think this school is doing a great job of avoiding subdivisions.

[uspsionic]

Sent here by RIAB. The last song I expected to hear hear a HS band play. Phenomenal! I wish all these great kids the best of luck in their musical futures.

[JPMusicman]

WOW, this is awesome!!! One of my favorite Rush tunes.

[VonTrousers]

Super!

[mjfrattaroli]

Awesome!

[chiefbrody75]

Yep- RIAB referral

[vogel2112]

Very well done. It's impressive that a sophomore arranged that.

Great Rush song, very well done.

*If you were directed here from RIAB, reply to this comment. Just curious how much influence Ed had on the view counter.*

[nobullet2]

another RIAB referral here.

[Dreamline2112]

RIAB.

[RollTheFemers]

Rush Is A Band!

[inthelapofthegods]

Rush Is A Band!~

This is amazing. :) I wish my high school band could be this daring, and play something a little more interesting than traditional march music. xP

[lurxtlifeson]

What's RIAB and Who's Ed? Because when i originally put this on youtube, nobody was viewing it and i was kind of dissapointed, but then like overnight i get like 50 emails and 2,000 views. Why?

[chiefbrody75]

This is super!! I love seeing kids picking up an instrument- any instrument. And playing Rush only makes it that much better! Great job!!

[MyRocinanteSailed]

That was fantastic, you had me singing along, great tempo too!

[lancekasten]

I would assume that no one in the audience had a clue what they were listening to! Well composed man!

Rush on!

[djbrumond]

My eyes are brimming with tears. Rush was playing in a cheap boombox in the delivery room when I was being born. I'm 26. It thrills me to see "kids" being turned on to the Power Trio,

Excellent performance!

[rorshakks]

Either somebody is out of tune or the the quality of the sound is off. Great concept and executed well. I say great job.
