[3570maxymoomoo]

Wow nice job!! I'm second chair first violin in my orchestra.. I really loved this song!! But we played the beginning a lot slower and measure 30 and on a lot faster.. But great job!!

[rdloop1]

[FormerMandy]

[AKEynaEsmeCullen4eva]

I loooooove this song!! I played this song recently in 7nth grade for Orchestra. You guys did a good job. We sounded a bit better, but we had been working on it longer we were nowhere near this good after like 3 weeks but in the end we pulled together xD Great Job!! Viola's are nice and strong.

[foohy1931]

[ahooperxoxo]

WHO DISLIKED...SSPPPPAAARRRRTTTTAA­AA

[Mrtrekkie156]

THIS IS SPARTA!

GO VIOLAS

[nejipoprock1]

@Mrtrekkie156 VIOLAS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[SilverSoul71]

i remember back when i was in the 7th grade and played this along with the rest of the orchestra people, its still my fav strings song in my opinion and i play it a LOT.

THUMBS UP IF U WERE VIOLIN II WHEN U PLAYED THIS

[DarthBlam]

Playing this in my orchestra... being a bass on this song is friggin' awesome.. best part of it in my opinion.

When we played it though we had some of the people from the school choir add some "chanting monk" stuff to some of the parts in the beginning.. it was epic.

[therunawaywolf]

i played this song this year in my orchestra. i didn't like the second part of this because we sped it up about 5 times faster & i like it better that way :P but i love the way this sounds.

[gacgirls12]

Played this song at my concert, i love it!!

[twenty1down]

played this song...totally awesome

[penguinx32]

wow i played this song as well... liked

[Aurora21180]

@penguinx32 best song i ever played this year!

[Aurora21180]

love the song. playing it in my orchestra :)

[doubleAspoofs]

Meh..

[retardevelotion42]

i played this song for summer strings camp too!! Did you play contredanse and medieval wars?

[themonkeymanofdoom]

I'm playing this one this year.

[lovefork7]

i used to love orchestra.... dang havnt played the violin in 2 yrs thts a shame. im startin again doe. 

[cookiesofevil]

woah...the views are.....

OVER 9000!!

[azworx]

bleh your bass section sucked. I should have been there to work them.

[axeman721]

boring

[Kates0149]

My school orchestra is playing this. You can barely hear the violas! Im a viola, I bring my section out! ;D

You guys sound good.

[dromemaster7]

their vabrato is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyy to fast.

[tegansan]

cellos at the beginning should be more ocnnected. Violins need to work on intonation, otherwise it was good :)

[DrBeastly25]

this should be way faster

[nsckid1231]

who played this piece?

[wowerz14]

this is so awsome great dynamics

[supercaptainmario]

yeah we played this today for UIL

[lilkesslerbowler]

i love Mr. Wright our conductor but ya GO BASS

[lilkesslerbowler]

this is just our summer strings orchestra

it is a camp we really have 4 or 5 times this many i am a bass in this song = }

[theboyontheboat]

played this last year, it was so epic. violas are the best. this year im doing another one of brian balmages songs calle point lookout.

[orchadork222]

played this last year in my 6th grade orchestra!! so much fun!! you guys did a great job.

[SandbarSharkGirl]

Im playing this! Everyone thinks orchestra is so soft all the time... TAKE THAT BAND!

Violas furevvvvaaaa!

[dwarftn1996]

@SandbarSharkGirl Well they are band is more for getting people excited and pumped for stuff like sports. Orchestra its more of intellectual and calming people to sleep

[HypedUpGerl]

haha we just played this last night xD

i love this song...so deadly sounding :)

go 1st violins!! :D

[jessie280]

this sounded really good!

go first violins(:

isn't the beginning supposed to be no stacatto? (excuse my spelling), well.. maybe not. it depends on the orchestra.

sounded really good though :D

[Cuebaliriffic]

this is nothing

we have like 20 1st, 15 2nds, 30 violas, 20 chlelos, and 4 bases

[tegansan]

@Cuebaliriffic 30 violas? Dude... lucky. My class has like 2. And my class has 60 people. Plus it's cello not chlelo. =/

[cclelouchfan1000]

i am playing this but we don't sound nearly as good cause we only have 17 people is our orchistra. i play second violin cause we switch every trimester. i lone it when they go faster, :( we don't do that

[aman2246]

as a violinist, i can say that these violins do need some work. my 8th grade orchestra can do better by far. (assuming this is high school) but cellos, dont think you're any better. way too choppy at the beginning.

[theboyontheboat]

ya i think so also, vioas were also.

[avatardoxiemediator]

Wub this song

GO VIOLAS!

And yes, I play viola.

[mylv4evristravisryan]

So good!!!

I'll probly end up playing this song,(and Stairway to heaven) next year. I want to play it now!!!

[aerocutiegirl87]

AWESOME! great vibrato! i love it!

[sielleis11]

We're playing this in orchestra! I'm a cello.

[FigyDaFlygon]

I'm playing this song. Violin 1. Awesome song but, this orchestra has so many cellos and basses it overwhelms the violins. I've never seen that many cellos and basses in a single orchestra :O

[azreal65]

haha i remember playing this last year. im a viola

[liyahnicolette]

go violins<333

i love this songg ! hahaa

i played it in middle school.

[Zoey4563]

oh and btw..GO VIOLAS!(: i a violist, thehe

[Zoey4563]

dude i played this in 7th grade for the veterands day assembly:D we rocked

[ZouNoa701]

We played this piece in the 7th grade at Randolph Middle School

Best song EVER! although, it sounds better if you're one of the people playing it. Especially in the section right in front of the conductor

5/5

[Applejuice461]

I played this in 6th grade, nice piece:D

[guitarjunkieVRON]

we're playing this in orchestra.... i think it's too easy for 8th graders- no offense. the cello has barely any fun parts. its a nice song though

[CodyWendell]

We are playing this too 8th grade Greenville Middle Academy

[squirrelpaw9]

Ahhn.

My 7th grade orchestra just got this song.

We haven't worked on it at all yet.. I bet we'll sound terrible at first T.T xD.

Haha but we'll pull it together(;;

[Khandymahn]

Awsome! I just got this piece. I am playing it in my orchestra. I am actually playing piano for it, so I am psyched to play both cello, violin, and viola parts of it all mashed together! It sounds awsome!

[goaliegurl2008]

both?? hmm.. who was our teacher in kindergarten? last time i checked both meant two... you know, one, two.... cello, violin, viola... there seems to be three instruments there!

it's okay i understand what you meant

[bpshortyx3]

we have 2 play this song and we have like 4 violas 6 cellos and 3 bass and about 40 violins!!! its a lot of fun but im one of the violas and its so hard to hear our melody!!!! haha

[goaliegurl2008]

i play violin.. i get lost in this piece. i love it when the tempo doubles!!

[gotome123]

me too i get lost

[goaliegurl2008]

Yeah, and yesterday i had to play it on the electric violin, without any tapes.. eh!

[friendsrfun]

you really should'nt have bought an electric violin if you still think you need tapes :/

[goaliegurl2008]

i didn't. We have this thing where if you turn in your practice record she (our director) puts you name in a bag and draws them once a week. You can either A) choose the songs we play or B) play an electric violin. i thought i was ready for it, and i was, but it was still DIFFICULT for me :)

[redsoxillusion]

i play that so im my orchestra also! its a great song.espeacialy at 1:52-2:00

[SourSkittlesLover101]

haha awesome!! we played this too at our concert festival. its such a dramatic piece!

[berrie098]

hahahaha I love this song! My 8th grade orchestra played this so many times for festivel and competitions I know it by heart! We never did play it this well, I must admit but we had our moments.

[GossipGirl7467]

Yeah, the moon bounce made me dizzy. Haha. I like fell over too many times, but I am clumsy. I have to use the little things to guide me. Bumpers! That's it! Haha. I think I've seen you too! Halls & at the UN thing a while back. I know some people that know you! Heard of Zoe Duncan, Kaitlin Allard, & Devon Whalen? They know you! & I know them. Apparently. Haha. I like yours! My hair's all plain & blah. So plainjane.

[GossipGirl7467]

Btw, this was good.

Except for some of the 6th graders.

[GossipGirl7467]

I would of joined summer strings in 6th but I didn't :/

I think you go to VB then?

Just a guess, I'm in 7th grade orchestra. (:

[fluffyinuhamsta]

Yup, I'm an 8th grader going to FHS next year. :D

[GossipGirl7467]

Oooh, I'm going to 8th grade next year.

7B. (:

Who are you btw?

[fluffyinuhamsta]

Oh, I was in pod A..

A cello player :3

[GossipGirl7467]

Violins are better. (:

Wait, do 8th graders do Summer Strings again?

I'm doing it this year!

[fluffyinuhamsta]

It's middle school and high school, but the times are different for kids going into high school and middle school. But I'm doing it too this year! Maybe I'll somehow see you there :D

[GossipGirl7467]

Oh, I kind of forgot to ask Mr. Wright some questions about it. I should of done it last year.

High School's a big step! Ahh, I can't wait till 8th grade! (: Ha, you might. If you know what I look like.

[fluffyinuhamsta]

8th grade will be fun, you'll get the chance to go to D.C. and bowl at the end of the school year. ^-~

Haha, of course, I don't know what you look like, are you in the year book?

[GossipGirl7467]

I know, I'm excited for that part. I loved the last day of school. The 'carnival' was fun. (: Especially the moon bounce. I suck at bowling. :P

Yupp, 7th grade; Temima Nguyen.

I hate my picture. :/

[cookiesofevil]

violins suck.

CELLOS RULE!! YEAHHHH!

*high fives fellow cello player*

[multigamer1214]

[BIPICY]

@multigamer1214 yah we were playing those two this year also. Also Gargoyles, Out of the Winter and last year Celtica

[Mares8192]

well this is the only song the violas get to play the lead part but stupid violins play too loud so they can't here us. This song is awsome i've played it.

[azreal65]

[jonasjonasisahotty]

[Hermionegrangerfan55]

I played this song when i was in 8th grade. I'm a 1st violin.

[acgacg15]

Its okay, the dynamics arent so good ant I head quite a few mistakes here and there. We played this when I was in 7th grade (1st Violin!) and we did a lot better.

[girlygirlkisses94]

[Tuesadys]

[cookiesofevil]

Ooh! I'm in this!

[fluffyinuhamsta]

Really?

[xxwoahhxxmaddiex]

my school is playing this and the cello part is beast at measure 30!

[flyingsquirellzzbff1]

niceee we're playing that too :) fun but SO EASY! lol

[Starchman1]

decent but needs more dynamics. some parts were not together..

[cawdady0]

lol we have 13 violists, and i am third best!

[ViolinVIBRATO]

no intonation or dynamics at all.

[XwonderxwomanX]

Dude Our Concert Orchestra is so small, we're palyingthis at our all city with the 8th graders. =P We have 2 violas, so I'm one of four 3rd violins. We have a total of about 19 people in our class.

[shadowguy38]

your punk you know that, yea go back to waiting if front of home depot. (GAWD!)

[angelsweet2525]

i think they should play louder o-o; ....i mean like most measures are like forte or ff

[violinshizz]

O.O When The Tempo Sped Up They Weren't Really Together ;_;

[ViolinVIBRATO]

why are the cellos notes so short in the beginning ? its supposed to be longer bows, sortaa. why did you take it slow at measure 30 ? its suppoesed to be fast.

and i'm playing thisss, go 1st violins !!!

[karuni360]

love this song

[peguin12]

thats horriable no offence

[peguin12]

try playing with some emotion and slow it up in the begining

also try playing long notes not short ones for the cellos

[Blondeeh0]

it seemed like the violas could have been a lot louder. there's only 4 of us my orchestra and we are 10x louder, besides that you did a good job tho

[karuni360]

well... they were far away. i dont think some fingering were quite right, other than that it was really good

[dwarftn1996]

In my orchestra theres only 4 violas too and we rock well except me

[JudyIsTakinOvaNow]

[ViolinVIBRATO]

[smellycat123456]

i am playing this song in my school orchestra. this is good but i think ours is slightly better because we have more players and we put alot of passion into our performance. good effort though

[1otakuXD]

who composed this?

[adanisbasilio]

brian balgmages wrote it i think

[fluffyinuhamsta]

Yup

[JessicaAndMallory]

my friend said he wanted 2 play this song and so we voted on wat song 2 play and wen he got his wish 4 days later(2day) i showed him this video and he told me he no longer likes this song because it had already been played in a concert and he started ranting about the music teacher he had last year and how he was the best...

~Jessica

[Dhru7777777]

my orchestra plays it alittle less legato, but this sounds better :)

[dwarftn1996]

I play the viola wen i was 7 years old and im apart of the 8th grade orchestra and we played this song and eltoro danza latina but the other songs were too slow and stupid.

[blaque7]

i get to play this song on the 16th woot woot

[MrsJonas0013]

Also...Lol...You guys are amazing...Mrs.Terry ( my teacher ) would die if she saw us play like that!

[fluffyinuhamsta]

Ehehe, thanks! :3

[MrsJonas0013]

[xKN33GR0W]

[waitermelon18]

The viola has one of the best parts in this. We are playing this at my middle school.

[smashbrosbrawlfan]

my school is playing this for a concert today, I play violin 2. it's not that hard though.

[xstrikezerox]

i played Violin II for this too. and i played it about two weeks ago too lol november 8th. for our open house concert im first chair =] i love the violin I part though

[Dhru7777777]

[orcadorkviola]

We are playing this song for our concert too!!!!!

[kaats3]

Awesome song!

Were playing this song for our christmas concert!

[joshuaclones]

nice. im probably gonna play this. i play the cello. =/

[adiavoy]

You guys are awesome, my orchestra is playing Spartacus this year.

[taysky5]

we might play this at my highschool, i play the viola, (or violin sometimes) and absolutely love this piece, I love to play, but I wish i could learn the cello, it is such a beautiful instrument!! (not that I have anything against my equally gorgeous viola and violin :P)

[musicislife2020]

my orchestra is playing this for our Christmas concert i think....I play the viola...its really fun but really easy though

We also played a song called by Creatures last year by the same composer

[xstrikezerox]

sorry i kepe commenting but, what level orchestra is this?

[fluffyinuhamsta]

I'm not sure, but the students who played this was middle to high school.

[xstrikezerox]

i play violin II =[ wish i was violin II but hey im first hcair in violin II lol, do you think u can get the violin II part for me somehow? our teacher still hasn't made copies yet

[fluffyinuhamsta]

I don't have the violin part, I play the cello, but I might be able to ask our teacher to lend me one and I could scan it.

[xstrikezerox]

actually, i think i'll just wait until monday when i go back to school to get it. im jsut very impatient and i kinda like this song so i want to practice it

[xstrikezerox]

hey we're also playing this for our fall concert, we just started today we did it by sight reading, wasn't great but it still sounded okay i guess. who's the composer for this piece?

[fionaroxursox]

oooh. We're doing this song for our orchestra's fall concert... the vln. part is soo pretty. :]

[fluffyinuhamsta]

It is pretty, too bad the cello part isn't that exciting. XP

I hope your orchestra does good in this piece! :)
