Waltz of the Wicked - Garden City High School Orchestra

[UNCizme]

Is it just me or are they playing it a tad too slow? We played it at my middle school and it was a lot faster...

[KatalinaTheCellist]

also needs more cello

[22869334]

ummmm im playing this song in HS now and is it just me or are they going a little too fast?

[UNCizme]

@22869334 I think they are going slow... I played this in 6th grade and we were way faster than this. (Except for the accelerando. It was about the same speed.)

[Tayler1352]

@22869334 It's supposed to be WAY faster :)

[MoCaMoJo]

Lol I'm playing this song in my orchestra now (9th grade) and they did change it up ALOT, especially the ending, it's all jacked up.

[SuperCMB2011]

this is definitely the best sounding version that i've heard on youtube so far.

[SuperCMB2011]

i remember playing this song in 8th grade i think??? i loved it. i remember how half of my class hated it because they couldn't play it that well lol.

[AlphabetConjunction]

played this @ orch camp!!!<3

[mrp1352]

@krisann171995

Shut up this orchetra did great i bet if u where playing this you would cheat your while way around it so u better just leave your comments to yourself bitch

[krisann171995]

Play it as it's written in the music.

You left out a slur in the beginning..

You didn't do the right bowings in the slide part, violins/violas.

And the pizz part..Seriously, is it that hard that you have to do it in rest position, you also left out that arco part after the pizz.

If was a good performance, but was tacky and unprofessional on the way you approached it.

You're not going to improve cheating your way through a song because it's difficult or awkward techniques. The composer wanted i

[GCsoccer9]

@krisann171995 kk well they liked it better this way, and in my opinion, it sounds better than the way its supposed to be. amd mrs G is the best orchestra teacher so she knows what she is doing

[1swimmer100]

About 2:00 or so you're supposed to go bac to arco.... And I can't believe you pizz with your instruments in rest position.... No offence but that seems VERY unprofessional, especially in a high school orchestra. :/

[souriluv2]

Great, I like this song a lot and we are playing it at our next concert. Just wondering where most of the pianos went though...

[ObliviationSensation]

Wow you guys are pretty good

-Cellist

[AlbeitWeird]

I played this in chamber string orchestra, very fun for the cellos (considering in a lot of pieces we don't get any melody, or fun stuff)

[pielady211]

awesome!! i hope we get to play this at my school =D this is way better than the recorded version we heard in class >.>

[bleh8421]

caught rushing at about 1:40.. also needs some more spizzicato for the beginning phrases

[Wreven367]

I remember playing this in my 8th grade year! I was a 2nd violin. I LOVED this piece, and it was just so fun to play because it was everything I loved- sharp, fast, and a little dark. I always imagined some kind of chaotic masquerade ball to this song.

Such an amazing song!

[HollyAnnxD]

my conductor emailed the composer of this piece and he said the very abrupt parts, when he was thinking of it, represented being stabbed. xD i love this song, i can't wait to play it!

[itscrystalyo]

Im in the seventh grade and were playing this for festival ...:)

[redhotmagma2]

i believe its suposed to be somewhat quiet haha and then loud

[panique365]

Whoa...I just realized they pizz guitar style.

[bmylove4444]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[zanelovesville]

im playing that this year im in eighth grade! and im playing it on tryouts for alregion haha:)

[green4567]

Bro i did this in middle school!i love this song

[kitty1011996]

A 2:00 or so, you where supposed to switch from plucking to bowing... Or at least, that was the way I was taught that the way we will perform

Not meaning to be rude

[MrMegakingcobra]

sheet music



[MrMegakingcobra]

Oh I need sheet music still

[CelloChick14]

Played this last year in 8th grade... omg we could NEVER get it up to speed tho. Great job! :)

[MrMegakingcobra]

[Thenerdinyourcloset]

@MrMegakingcobra

jwpepper.com

Thats site has a bunch of sheet music

[captainkayleeinc]

Is there anywhere I can download this song without it havin to be live?

[Omar35728]

I love this song I'm 1st violin And I love my part

[vampireluvah]

Very fun song. Played it in the eigth grade. :3 I can't remember if I already commented on this or not, but oh well. xD

What happened there at measure 41 and 42? (0:52) The cellos and bases were supposed repeat that little motif, and then just the bases alone. They turned it into a rest, and I don't know why. It sounds terrible that way, because originally it was subtly supposed to lead into the bases' pizzicato, which really helps smooth it out... Dunno what happened there. O-O

[kfizzle158]

@vampireluvah the bases actually play at :52. you just cant hear it because its too deep for the video to catch so it just sounds like a rest.

[z0factor]

thanks to those who support us.. we appreciate it.

[PINKMADNESS77]

I'm playing this song in middle skool 2 and wow these ppl r good! We r capabile* 2 do sumthin lyk this 2!(:

[lovelyjazzarina]

[GlitterKat111224]

[u7ytf]

[613becca]

[42isgod]

I hate those stupid white boards that are there every assembly

[panique365]

[animedorkfletcher]

[pianolover234]

[animedorkfletcher]

@panique365 everything always needs more viola

[beepbeepWOOHOO2000]

@panique365 Yes! Violas are awesome!

[XxRinoa1xX]

[rachelperson1]

I just got done playin this..im in eaith grade only been playin for a year and i think its kinda easy...haha i love playin violin :) we sounded so awesome...SJHS ans SHS orchestra ROCKK :)))

ps i LOVE the slide part :))

[ElectricPyroclast]

Ah, I agree. I'm in seventh grade, and we're about to play this next week. Seriously, we're all playing mostly high school music. Next concert, there is a predicted Mantras by Richard Meyer.

I like the Coda best.

[rachelperson1]

Haha wish yall the best of luck hope yall sound great..and yeah me and my friend..best in our class...are already playing college and pro level music....i love it its so fun!...anyway good luck and play awesomely :D

and yeah the codas awesome and i love the plucking in this

[ElectricPyroclast]

There's a someone in my school that somehow plays many songs with his violin, and shows off twice a week.

How do violinists take all the glory? Oh, well. At least I am one.

[rachelperson1]

haha i can uderstand that XD stupid highschoolers showing off there skillz :P lol VIOLINISTS UNITE :D

[ElectricPyroclast]

Are you Violin 3, 2, or 1?

[rachelperson1]

what do u mean? like 1st chair or 2nd? er whatever? im first if thats wat u mean lol

[ElectricPyroclast]

Difficulty level. 1st violin is the most difficult to play.

[rachelperson1]

haha YES i know i worked super hard to beat some of the highschoolers to get to play 1st violin haha what were u?...haha and it was an accident replying to urself lol

[ElectricPyroclast]

2nd violin, 'cuz I skipped a year. Before, I was always 1st violin. Now, I'm catching up. It's likely that I will be 1st violin again for my January concert.

[rachelperson1]

yeah i can get that, we had a 7th grader that has to play with us 8th graders cuz shes already been playing for 6 years :PP haha

[ElectricPyroclast]

Does she get a lot of the glory after concerts?

[Drinka28]

i disagree, played it last year for my 8th grade orchestra and thought it was pretty easy. one of my favorite songs to play on violin.

[laurenkeychai]

lol the high schoolers played this tonight. my teacher gave us the easy crap music this year. we culd hav easily played this. very nice though. it is all stuck in my head!

[mrorangeification]

this is amazing so shut up all you haters

[xXSimpleRockXx]

this is pretty epic, dude :D

[TheStewieGriffinFan]

i love this song, i just had a concert where we did this song lol we didnt rush hardly at all lol

[TheStewieGriffinFan]

scratch that, we watched our proformence and omfg we rushed like hell at the end lol and it crashed and burned at the beginning cuz we went to slow (well the cellos did anyway lol)

[taichipyz]

ok clearly you're on a different level than we are. So why don't u save yourself the trouble and stop wasting time on us. im sure u would rather go play your violin, and gloat in that first seat of yours, cuz seriously my friends and i are tired of your bullshit.

[vampireluvah]

Ah, we just got this piece in our middle school advanced orchestra. 'Thought I'd check it out and see what we're up against. If we do play this piece for one of our concerts, I'd be impressed. It certainly is challenging for children of our age. ;D

[taichipyz]

agreed. and to thomas1474, if u got something to say, spit it out. I hate people who cut corners in saying stuff alright. so either u say it or keep it to yourself

[whachaw]

anybody who rips on mrs. g i got a huge problem with

[BEELEEM]

omg thomas....totally...good for you.

[taichipyz]

yeah this was atually last year

[Thomas1474]

wow we must be ahead im only in jr. high still and were playing this october and we all ready got it down.

[BEELEEM]

haha freshie nice

[taichipyz]

thanks freshie, btw, im preston in the third seat in the cello section.

nice to meet u (^^)

[bearharr]

this is a spectacular example of how good the garden city orchestra is, go BASS -harrison

[taichipyz]

im down with that, but if anyone says shit, im not gonna just stand around and neither will the others.

[BEELEEM]

i totally agree with that statement =)

[blueandwhitezebras]

hey guys enough with the obnoxious comments, i dont think you would appreciate it if someone was bashing your high school orchestra...i think we did an amazing job on this piece, we worked really hard on it, and everyone is entitled to their opinions but please don't be nasty with your comments, thanks

[deutschistspitze]

but people wouldn't do that to us cause we don't suck

[edwardcullenlover965]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!

were playing it as Freshmen

and i adore this song!!

: )

[taichipyz]

word

[BEELEEM]

and yea this piece took a while for us to rehearse and make it really amazing ...we are a really high ranikng orchestra obviously if we got picked 6th out of 700 orchestras to play at Disney at Epcot center ..so i think ur the one who doesnt know anything ..stop saying that u could play this better in middle school cuz everyone knows that not one god damn thing about that statement is true

[BEELEEM]

ok wow..wat wtf does getting laid have to do with playing this song?? i really cant believe u would say that about our orchestra liek what is really the point of comenting on this video if all ur going to do is trash it. i hate that u just did that like...that too a long tie for us to practice nad learn and ur just coming to quick judgements about it u know nothing just cuz ur first seatin 1st violin please stop its so rude and annoying- thanks deutshistpitze

[taichipyz]

ok so deutschistspitze, youre obviously on a much better level than we are. since u r so good, rather than insulting, we would much prefer your advice so we can do better next time.

Otherwise u can take that first seat, take that violin, and oh dont forget the bow, and shove it all up your ass, or your mouth and SHUT THE FUCK UP! what is this?! your first violin and yet u post things such as what u just posted a few times for this video?! get a life. none of us will settle for this, U HEAR ME!!

[deutschistspitze]

i do have a life, as i said i'm first chair, and i did i said work on dynamics(they're horrible!!) and how much did you have to work on this?? my eighth grade class got this in like the 2nd week we got this, it's a pretty simple piece

[fliagm]

I LOVE THIS SONGGGGG

[BEELEEM]

whose fuzee??

[FUZEE41]

i just wanna say that we looked amazing i held us together and u guys rele pulled through thanks for making my dreams come true

[taichipyz]

tell em' BEELEEM

[BEELEEM]

thats true we dont really mind criticism..the plucking thing was a last minute idea so we wouldnt rush..and yea i agree we rushed a little bit ..but some people who are commenting on this video are just downright rude

[deutschistspitze]

haha you guys still rushed horribly

[taichipyz]

yo naruto fan who loves itachi lol, we're cool with criticism. we just dont like arrogant comments and insults. but i at least would like to thank u for your comments and for not acting like a douch like how some others are.

[itachilover022094]

Yeah You guys pretty good I played this peice before but you guys do start to rush alittle bit but its still very good but the way they pluk(sp?) Is so werid I don't like but that is my opoion and i don't wanna get bashed or atacked for it!Xd but good performance!

[BEELEEM]

malia..omg wow your are sooo cool. Curtis institue for 15 years..god that is intense u should be porud..so in that case..take ur criticism there because im sure your opinion is more welcome here. we dont care what u think or how talented u think u are..instead of bashing our orchestra u should be practicing..since, you know, the curtis institute is so fabulous and everything..wouldnt want u to lose ur spot there..please find a life and let me know when u do. k thanks

[taichipyz]

ya so malialovesjake,

is there a reason why for u to specifically point out the easiness of this piece? idk its just seems kinda strange, or r u just trying to show off your ability, cuz honestly i couldnt give a SHIT less of how good you are. i show respect only to those who show some repect discpline and modesty, and from what i see, u dont even deserve a bit of anyones from your big talk and showin off

[PAPERBCKED]

If there's anything to be said about life, the world is a cruel and mean horrific string of sun beams portrayed through a tiny little cylinder resting upon a shelf of DOOM. This piece was beautiful. So beautiful, it's not worth being shown on youtube.. BE GREATFUL YOU LITTLE IGNORANT SNOT HEADS.

[eesbball2]

Oh my goodness, in all my years of teaching orchestra I haven't heard a group of young individuals sound so professional. I am highly impressed. I give 5 stars especially to the conductor of this talented bunch. Keep up the fantastic work Garden City!

[jcenz22]

malialovesjake,

are you serious right now? you're so incredibly professional, you go to a great music school that requires lots of talent and even more practice and the BEST thing you can think to do with your time is make fun of kids on youtube? honestly? get a life. if you were really at curtis, you would be practicing your ass off right now, not making crude comments on a low quality video that was obviously taken by someones parent at a high school concert

[taichipyz]

ya ummmm, 15 years, thats a really long time to get a very arrogant attitude of yours. if yoyo ma or yani were ever showing off like u, i dont think anyone would ever want to listen to them ever again. we may lack skill, but u lack a huge amount of something called discipline and modesty u arrogant prick

[taichipyz]

hey BEELEEM im on your side

[BEELEEM]

and what the heck are you talking about bow control??? that is such an amateur thing to comment o. we were playing it at a fast speed s maybe the video doesnt look clear but the bows were going just fine. watch more carefully

[BEELEEM]

omg you guys are being such assholes about this piece. it was amazing the dynamics were perfect ofr it ..it was better loud cuz it moves the audience and they actually gave us a standing ovation. so i guess we were good then ha ha . and i highly doubt u could sight read this piece better then we played it that is such crap if yo have nothing good to say then shut your mouth

[deutschistspitze]

this song isn't that hard at all and i don't doubt it cause you guys fucking suck and stop being so fucking uptight you little bitches

[taichipyz]

im pretty sure you have a better understanding of music than ME but you're not the almighty music king.

also i saw youre profile, and it says that youre of the age of 20. hmmmm? that seems a lot older than me for sure, so i would at least expect some more maturity from u,by not slandering our group or our teacher. your teacher might have a different style, and thats fine with us, cuz we're here to do wat we do, and so should u which is to enjoy the music rather than competing

[deutschistspitze]

we might not be the almighty music king but we know enough to tell if something is really horrible and this performance not piece performance is horrible

[taichipyz]

i can't say that i understand music completely. in fact i'm a terrible sight reader and i'm very lucky to actually to be a part of the group. but for u to insult us is something uncalled for. plus is that the word "do**che" in your account name, cuz youre sure acting like one. we also have our dignity and our honor, so i at least hope that u respect that! If u can't, you're just proving to us how arrogant u are.

[deutschistspitze]

you need to go get laid and learn how to fucking play an instrument

[taichipyz]

ok first off, i would like to say that this is my first time actually commenting on any video, and also i'm a student who goes to this school and is a part of this orchestra.

[BEELEEM]

haha i totally agree with everything jabslayer said =) this orchestra is amazingggg!

[virquis]

cooooooool :'D

[deutschistspitze]

what the fuck are you talking about i play the cello and i clearly see it written in my music you stupid little cunt know what you're fucking talking about bitch

[malialovesjake]

isn't this starting to annoy you??! fucking kids don't know what they're talking about. EASIEST piece and they killed it.

[deutschistspitze]

yes oh my god i mean i don't like to brag but i am first chair of the first violin section i think i know what i'm talking about and this is my most favorite song i ever played i know a lot about this song and these people just murdered it completely everything was off and if this was my orchestra i would like scream at everyone saying how much they suck i mean how could they think that's ready to perform?? and the worse part this is a high school like what the fuck we played it btter in mid. sc

[BEELEEM]

omg the people who are saying u hate this piece dont know what theyre talknig about. it was loud on purpose cuzthey trying to be powerful and the cellos were fine they were balancing the rest of the orchestra. and have u ever heard of changing the dynamics?? the pizz sounded better because it was more together and it sounded better with it pizzed where hte arco was..its not a crime to change parts of a song. in my opinion it sounded great.

[deutschistspitze]

who ever the fuck you are obviously doesn't know what music is we didn't say we hate this piece we said we hate the people who played it cause they just completely murdered it and yes i think i've heard of dynamics if this class had any then they would know they suck at that too so shut the fuck up you fucking little sons of bitches that don't know music

[waystan]

um, I'm pretty sure you don't even know one person in that orchestra, so to say you hate them is a bit harsh. And please watch your language: I'm sure families of that orchestra watch this.

[malialovesjake]

Ummm excuse me?? wow.. i don't recall anyone saying they hated the piece. And you cant seriously be justifying that piece of shit sound they just played. Everyone on here who are saying it sounds good are fucking dumb and need more lessons obviously.

and don't try to say i don't know what I'm talking about because i attend Curtis Institute of Music , and have been playing for 15 years. Chomp on that biiiitches.

btw i played this song when i was 10 and we still BANK on this orchestra.

[abcdx12341]

"malialovesjake", you made me appreciate the fact that i'm 17 & have more manners and respect for people than you seem to do. your about me said "I HATE when ppl comment you saying crap about you when they know abosolutely NOTHING about you! what the fuck is that shit?" -a little hypocritical of you considering you're labeling them as "shit" & saying anyone who says they're good is "dumb", i give you props for going against your own values & for ripping on an orchestra you know nothing about.

[chelseafcfan9]

This John C. and this song is amazing, everything about it is great, I rate it 5 star, and every1 should. And dynamics are great too.

[loopywoman90]

hey dont be to mean its not there fault its the conductor who taught it too them any way everyone messes up a sogn sometimes i do agree that i violins are pretty loud but maybe there we alot of them who knows i dont know the song but i think that it sounded very good:]

[stargazeingfool]

i played this in 7th grade. they sounded awesome! the ending was hard for me! all that bow lifting!

[malialovesjake]

how can you butcher a song so easy??

very disappointed:/

whats up with the Dynamics? and the Pizz. parts?!

you guys need more practice

[xsoox3x]

i agree.

we sight read this piece yesterday.

i think we play it better.

they need more bow control...

the violins are... the sound is annoying; maybe it's the video.. but i don't know

they don't sound good

[deutschistspitze]

this performance wasn't all that great the violins were too loud and you can hardly hear the cellos and the rhythm was off at the pizz part the violins came in too early which through off the cellos and the cellos didn't play that one part that goes really deep so you guys weren't all that great sorry but if my teacher heard us play like this she would cry and why did you guys pizz in the part when you needed to play arco

[mattyai]

i think you just pizzed on this video what an arco

[malialovesjake]

Yea the Violins are way too loud, i agree 100% with what you said, i dont think my teacher would of let us perform. and im really mad about the damn Violins being so loud! im a violinist myself and im actually really pissed. This song is freaking EASY and they just butchered it,

WAY TO PAY ATTENTION TO DYNAMICS GUYS.

oh, what the hell whas the teacher thinking letting them get away with this?

[cocoforcocoapuffs321]

i played this in orchestra lol it sounded really good (with alot of practice...) ya....all my friends liked it lol

[holrin29]

it must sound beautiful up close...u cant capture the true emotion through a camera u hav to be there. sounds good.

[purpleisland636]

we should have recorded may it be because we got a standing ovation for it

[BrittyRo12345]

Um AWESOME guys... I'm so upset that I missed the concert!!!! You guys sound so great though!!!!

[blueandwhitezebras]

OMG. we are amazing. -noellllleeee

[xxxasianxmarisaxxx]

I'm guessing orchdork is lemur?

-su

we played it so fast compared to the other ones

[telly0actb]

this was so beast.

[orchdork3790]

omg this performance is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
