[embabiix]

how old are these kids ?

[embabiix]

sounds like my band <3

[wetherall1]

Did they play the "picard song" from inner light??..... swear i hear it there for abit

[Nacrana]

The Generation Theme makes me cry!!!

[johnmpowell01]

This makes me realize how wasted my youth really was. These kids must have great parents and a wonderfull work ethic. Kudos to you all!

[Juciejuc]

that ist really good ! we played that at school too, after two years, today i searched the notes and played it :)

[IAmNinboy]

I'll do the typical petty thing and say that Lancashire Youth Concert Band play it better.

(We play a slightly different version. But it still sounds better. So. There. :D)

[isaiahangelo]

The trumpets copped out on TNG theme but otherwise great

[michaeleelia]

Thank you. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Close your eyes. just close and listen.....

They're kids. Wonderful.....

[chicanokid101]

THe Trumpets Couldnt reach the high notes on the TNG Theme

[Soljabunny47]

Just played this song like 45 minutes ago :D

[picard28]

star trek as been a good part of my life i started watching star trek the next generation in 1987 no matter what star trek show or movie i will always look up to the sky and wounder would we have the technolagy to buld a warp drive

[gdtaylor76]

Great Performance!

[weathersh09]

They did good on all over it. The Generations theme came out well.

[Driftwood120]

DS9 is the best, too :)

[lifevest1]

We played this too last year, such a good song!

[BSUGrad]

I will agree that Voyager was the closest to the real thing. But as others have also said, the French Horn was the most important part of most of the Star Trek themes...and they kind of blow in this band. It sounds like, and having been in an High School band I should know, most of the kids liked the Voyager theme more so they saved their 'oomph' for that part and didn't try hard enough on the other themes.

[beepgp9]

It was great but i think it was played way to fast.

[hijodejoseluis]

Thanks for sharing!! ST Forever!!!

[c1rcu1tn3rd]

I honestly can't say which Star Trek theme is the best. I personally like all of them.

[Br3Ak3r19]

Nice..WOWOW... i like DS9... good work.Five Stars

[Juciejuc]

this video is really cool...our school in germany played this song too..i loved it !

[gianderosa1990]

Voyager theme was perfection, gave me right goosebumps!

[digitalhoser]

DAMNIT JIM! I'm a doctor not a bricklayer!

[Michaelsammels]

@digitalhoser DAMNIT JIM! I'm a doctor not a mechanic!

[Chevron7engage]

I think even Jerry Goldsmith himself would be proud of these kids. Well Done!

[tekiel]

Holy cow! I lost track of how many times I got goose bumps! That was beautiful!

[TGHibiki]

The voyager part was almost perfect. I wished the horns weren't so strong at parts but I am so glad that it was done so well. amazing job.

[digitalhoser]

Star Trek Online is out in less than 3 weeks, and we get to indulge our trekkie selves.

[filigrant]

nice......

[djf2451]

These kids should be on tour

not in school.

[wbokunic]

They're pretty good, but some of them aren't the great. Particularly when only a few instruments are playing at a time you can hear several of them are heavily off key. Though that might be a result of the camera quality or echos.

[djf2451]

I'm 51 n cant believe this music

was played by H.S. kids !

I'm truly impressed.

[TonyJpc1]

they improvised on some parts, but i still liked it

[gorefiend666]

GARRRRHHHH FRENCH HORNS..................The basses were the best though, you can clearly hear their superiority over the rest of the strings and the winds and i am not just saying that because i was one of them.

[vulgarmachine2]

lower brass!! AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!

We have the opposite problem in our orchestra, fantastic (award winning) brass section, and a string section that has 4 good players...

[LINUXISNEXT]

is there any CD I can get from this?

[Daywalker359]

Goldsmith RULES!

[filigrant]

love it

[dcayabs]

THASS WASSUP.

[endless031]

What?!?! first TOS then DS9,and then movie music,Voyager and last TNG,not really in chronological order,but it was awesome !!!

5 stars and favorite

[Dylan1191698]

Simply amazing for there age, Generations and Voyager were my favorites.

[GummygooFilms]

the TNG theme was kinda messed up but 5/5 anyways

[SentaiFive]

That was awesome!!

[Darth305]

k the Generations theme was butchered a little...

[ResistanceForever]

whoever played in the low brass section should be brutally murdered.

[cezza92]

french horns (N)

[TheDragonWhelp]

Such an amazing medley, the voyager theme really sent chills up my spine!

[carlozofjuan]

Incredible! And only in highschool?!

[NeobuxAdvisor]

[MusiciansRule07]

I heard this at the Spring Concert and I was ecstatic. My parents are die hard trekkies and so am I. I must have sounded like a total dork when I named each theme I recognized but I don't care. I left the concert with a big grin on my face.

<3 STAR TREK

[trooper744]

Awesome thanks guys... so happy you ended this with the next generation lol... fuck im such a closet geek...

[rosiek1990]

voyager theme is the best! :D

[Cool70sfreak]

@rosiek1990

No matter who plays it, the Voyager theme is still best.

[BedaOfBorg]

[demonfdsaq]

[darkjedikota456]

1st alto solo!!!!!!!!!

[cellogrl4life]

this was amazing to play! xD -third chair cello

orchestra forever!!!

[dondonp12004]

To the SDUSD High School Honors Orchestra: well done on a powerful medley that musically took Trekkies "where no one has gone before" in honor of the new "Star Trek" motion picture that will be released in May. Keep playing what every orchestra of any size, amateur or professional, has played before. "Live long and prosper!"

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Medleys like this are acceptable, but simplified arrangements of real works are NOT! This group did Carmen Suite No. 2 under Karen Keltner a few years ago and they are now doing simplified music. This is UNACCEPTABLE! Even the Honor Band did more challenging music when it should be the OTHER WAY AROUND! The good thing is that orchestras are much more prevalent than bands after high school, so it is good to encourage as many of these kids to continue playing after high school.

[dondonp12004]

I was just complementing the SDUSD High School Honors Orchestra for performing "Star Trek Through the Years" in honor of the 11th "Star Trek" motion picture, which will be released on May 7th in Australia and New Zealand and on May 8th in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

[ServinU4God]

hey, shut the hell up. IT sounded good, people enjoyed it, so suck it up

[ecwaufisxtreme]

You shut the hell up! The performance of this work was good and I dont object to them playing this work, but I serious object seeing them play the other simplified pieces. I played in the honor orchestra many many years ago and I hated playing simplified music. I find it beneath my dignity and I was extremely jealous to see the honor band do the more awesome, difficult and challenging stuff. It wasn't until I finished high school that I got to play real quality orchestral literature.

[ServinU4God]

lol

exactly how old r u?

[hiramimundo]

this does sound likea movie soundtrack

lol this is sick

[ecwaufisxtreme]

It IS a movie soundtrack.
