I'm jealous of the number of French Horns they have! I wish my youth orchestra had that many!! Actually, I wish I knew that many French Horn pleyers :P
Actually my youth orchestra played this at a concert the other day, this truly is an amazing piece of music :)
we just played this with one of the uni orchestras on tour (: wish we could have ended the concert with this piece but the conductor kept choosing stinking pirates ):
Every time I watch this video I am blown away by how well everyone stays together. The best example is the violins in the sections starting at 4:08 and 5:11. There are a couple dozen of them but they sound like one. Just to listen to it, it is hard to believe that the musicians are in their mid to late teens. Its a shame this video only has 22,000 views at the time of this comment. It is certainly more worth while than many of the videos that go viral.
Only one little nitpick with this, the conductor could use a little more bouce than he does when the song picks up. I know it's his job to conduct the orchestra but he could've had a little more fun with it. I love this song and I wish I'd played it when I was playing trumpet.
i played this for a music camp once and it was a blast to play. we learned it in one week and I can still play the viola part to this song by ear. However, we didn't take it this fast, but we were close
I played this 4 years ago for my school orchestra and im sitting here now after all this time playing along in the air to the cello part. One of the best songs to play even better than the Phantom of the Opera score and as quickly as we learned it, we all still remember it so well.
this just makes me weep every single time I hear it. AMAZING.

We attempted this in band, but the beginning killed the flutes beyond measure.
Wish we could have played it.. The concert would have been freakin' epic.
