O Fortuna Marquette HS Band Choir Orchestra

[mrjimbob46]

the trumpets sound SICK!!!!!! there blasting their balls off!

[titsssssssify]

vermilion high school choir my choir preformed this at carnegie hall in new york city in front of thousands! :)

[TillyTale]

woot this is my school baby and the students jus picked it cause it was an interesting song to them

[matthewtyrney]

I agree its a depressing song and probably shouldn't have been played at graduation. But oh my god! That sounds absolutely amazing!!! I wish I could have been there to hear it in person.

[JaredTheOmega12]

WTF? The song is great but why would it be played at a graduation? The lyrics are actually really depressing in english

[phantomofsong]

although it was very well orchestrated

[phantomofsong]

At a graduation ceremony?! Don't the musical directors know that this song basically translates to "Oh, cruel fate!"?

[thebeannieguy]

God i hated the song that we had to do this year..... it was horrible Dx i never wanna here power of the dream again gag me with a spoon

great job for this performance though

[mhschoir08]

WORST SONG EVER.

I hated that I had to graduate to it.

[mhschoir08]

And by that...I was talking about Power of The Dream

[randomdrummer]

And by 'worst' you mean 'greatest' because we all hope that you have better taste than that.

Nacy is hands down the greatest director and was brilliant for picking this piece.

[mhschoir08]

I was talking about the song that I graduated to, not O Fortuna. The song I graduated to was a Celine Dion song...

[whitefang649]

Only 1 trumpet could do that end part? Lol...

[JOE6point0]

I really, REALLY wish that the song this year was this cool but no, we get to play a Celine Dion song. Oh well.

[bonviola]

and THIS is why I love Marquette High School, I wish the song this year was as good as this one! So intense!

[joylava88]

do see the girl in the back on the Timpani i bet her are hurt but very ggo i love that song

[JOE6point0]

The girl on the timpani is my sister.

[BlackRoseThorne]

This was so much fun to sing!  God I loved doing this. It wasn't very graduation-y, but it was amazing. Thanks for posting it!

[embo73091]

the orchestra was speeding up or the choir was slowing down or something. but it was a great performance and a trill to play. nacy is an amazing director. i love his facial expressions.

[mhschoir08]

Well, Mr. Nacy picked it... and it was the coolest graduation ever. Mine will not be half as awesome.

[UnderAvg]

Ooh, nice timpani player!!!

[Rylcon95]

Wow, this was a little epic graduation now wasn't it?

[xbaby3phatx]

[baboon110792]

[melinpink95]

Its a suburb of St. Louis, about 30-40min from the actual city

[Stlsportsfan2316]

Pretty cool - coming from a Lafayette guy.

[musicloverrmm]

Love that video

[Cchrisbud813]

Nicely played. I play trombone, and for my 9th grade year I got to play some of the band arrangement of Carmina Burana. It's always a lot of fun (especially "O fortuna")

[Blacknarcissa]
