Pirates of the Caribbean - SHS Full Orchestra

[ImzadiMom]

Greenfield Middle School did this same song for competition and won 2nd over all few years ago.

[miniknappers10]

42 people, after hearing this song remembered the day they almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow...

[lolfrog1]

1:50 fail, i love rewinding it and listening to the trumpet... :)

[holyhermit1]

Thought it was my school....Starkville High School

[D3ad1yG1rl]

This is awesome

[JosefinaMayo]

too fast the first part but i like the rest! :)

[CocoPuffzx13]

Lovee Thiss !

[SOGCommando]

33 people DON'T understand music.

[CurlyMacFlurry]

Usually the flute is tune out by most of the band/orchestra but they like murdered this song xD

[TheBookworm24]

pretty good for a high school

[MeeShaill]

there is one violin terribly misstuned :-/

And really, why isn't there nobody who records this song with a real Microphone, at least 1! This Cam-Micro makes me mad.... Each time the camera man faces the Bass Drums you can hear it punching the crap out of this Micro!

[25icehockey]

CradleofCrime no this song is walk the plank at the beginnin. then it changes to he medallion calls so get ur facts strait

[FunPure]

That flute killz the song

[Ultrakecks]

Amazing.

[sasseybeachgirl]

This song reminds me of Johnny Depp. That is one SEXY pirate. Thumbs up if you can't wait for Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides starring johnny, penolpie Cruze, and geffory rush.

[kevindiesal]

@sasseybeachgirl can't wait

[Patrick78912]

the flute/piccolo player at the beginning was flat

[Neighsayer24]

I'm impressed

I've always wanted to play orchestra, so I can be a part of this kind of thing. But I only play non-orchestra instruments :(

Wonderful job though :D

[bafych]

the greatest musik

[s055623]

The song is good, although I do think that the song was a little bit too chopped up..... I mean that there's too much contrast in the song, one second it's p, and another it's FF. Contrast is needed, but not too much. Keep up the good work XD CHEERS

[VoiTuboUser]

Lol, out of tune sometimes but that's normal i guess :D

[MinieW]

love this! :]

[gorilla6759]

my favourite part is 4:20 onward

[rachieface103]

ah this is so epic, i adore. a completely and utterly wholehearted FIVE

[duffy1979]

Awesome!

[Th3Boondocks]

NICE job!!!! this a very goood recording!! could have been better though, could pick up the tempo a bit in some sections and bring out some parts better :D

[iujijuykfg]

not bad

[spudmansean]

aaaahhhh jordan cracked!!! yeah the director is a retard!!!! i hated him!!! lol i still remember that practice that we moved  our slides with our feet and he still thought it was good!yeah first trombone!!! yeah being a sophomore alone on the part!!!

[NikPennell]

At first I thought this would be my high school XD I go to a different SHS.

[bananowy666]

amazing ;o

[gvn933]

why in the world is this video only 4 stars? it should be 5, this was superb!

[Leftclick24]

It dragged. The piece is driving;however, the tone quality of the brass and the woodwinds was the best part of this.

[vamitrou]

@gvn933 because of the trumpet at 1:49

hahaha that was a blue note for sure

[Aburrgail195]

Our orchestra should learn this. The seniors did it one year, and we bet that the intermediette would beat them ;D

[stryke822]

This is probably the best HS band Pirates of the Caribean posting i've seen so far. The video would've been better had the cameraman stop banning the camcorder which ruined the audio.

[DagonLord04]

Thats really asweme that a high school band did that.

[giannadimou]

@DagonLord04 and my music school band.. can do it!

[eliiepeace]

The flute is great ! =)

[xxxjohanxxx14]

really NICE!!

[CradleofCrime]

This song is the medallion calls...

[Moniulkach]

3:30 what calls this song?

[azndragonofnorth]

I think "He's A Pirate" -

[CatgirlAnimeFreak]

I'm shaking - this is beautiful. You guys did a great job on this.

[ccccccccc122]

Hey i have a question, is there a tuba? if so how many? We are playing this in orchestra right now and im the only tubist!

[crazy0beyond0sanity]

Is this the Southwest Highschool in Fort Worth ,Texas?

[kitorin321]

GREAT!!!!!

[zulu012]

wish i could play this in my band :D

we are playing what we call "A Melillo" which is a piece put together and conducted by none other than Stephen Melillo. wish i could find a track for it though : /

[Joeyboy180]

lucky you guys get a full orchestra all we have is violin,viola,cello, and bass thats it

[zulu012]

must not be any people around that you can get to play the other parts then.

[Disneyfan095]

that's all we have too... the other instruments play with the band. sometimes we play with them, but in concerts we kinda don't.

[koolkat104]

Very nice job. I'm in the band at my school and we played this in our concert. I have the Xylophone part. I like the tempo changes in this version. They were awesome. And, gotoenterprises, The audience started clapping before "One Last Shot" for me too!

[Floraflorins]

awsome, very nice, my orchestra is playing that!!!

[fortikui]

Very, very well done! Very good orchestra.

[Teencat]

holy they are teen? this is amazing

[jerkyac23]

ahhh at :18 rrrrrrrrrr

[kawaiichibigirl]

you know when we played this it didnt seems like 6min for me...it felt much shorter but it was still fun playing this music even if i got to play 2nd violin

[gotoenterprises]

Not to yell at you guys, you did pretty well with a difficult piece, but "One Last Shot" could have been a bit faster. I know that it's a slow section, but still.

Dang, I wish audiences would pay attention. They applauded before "one Last Shot" for us, too. Totally out of place...

[verlex]

too much rushing at the begining

[bslug1234]

mazuika is right. i can hear the percussion and looking at the orchestra its pretty damn big. and since the person in the back is far away the percussion seems to be playing their snares till the heads break

[Luiz0Otavio]

cara mto bom!!!

^^

[cclementi6]

some parts of this song sorta resembles for the star of county down

[cutencrazy07]

Amazing

[fireprinzez]

They r good how old r they?

How many bases do they have?

(i play bass)

[PunjabiJatt08]

we had about 6 basses playing. i was the principal bass. ( i miss this orchestra )

[KandAMom]

Wow, what a great job! I love this song.

[loli3357]

We're playing this tomorrow

we have like 25 violins to violas [yay] 1 cello and 1 string base

it's good for a 7th grade orchestra

[Clovervidia]

that was awesome

[ylime947]

we are playing this im my 7th grade orchestra.

its hard

and extremely awesome.

[Superdeduper739]

ya

we're doing it with a combination of really good 6th graders, 7th graders, and 8th graders

its SO hard

[veenee99]

Do they just randomly pick principal desk players out of a hat or something? I'm referring particularly to the cellos.

[Mast3rTuba1990]

AHHHHH String you do this every year please tune better. Tuba rulz

[weeeirishgal]

how come nearly so many schools in US have full out orchestras and mine (in Ireland) cant even get a string ensemble or trad group? And their all so good too....hard to believe they're all still in school.

[boredom4551]

whered u get the notes?

i wanna learn how to play this piece

[fireprinzez]

me 2

[ThePopeIsDope13]

at 2:23 the drums need to stop being pussies. we play this every year at my school and the audience says the only thing you can here is the drums. if you think that isnt musical screw you because Gulf Coast High School has the greatest band this side of the mississippi

[Mazuika]

The Place you play in can also affect the sound of the drums and their volume. Okay? When we stand back their it sounds very loud... but this camera is at the very back of the place and the percussions sound doesn't travel to the back because their are people infront of them. Also their is way too many curtains for that's stages own good. So don't be calling the Percussion Pussy's alright... because I've broken my fair share of sticks in this band here just from playing.. and that was only me

[snareskillz]

dude just cuz you break sticks doesnt mean your good, i could mean ur playing to loud and or playing wrong, i dont wanna insult you just a heads up

[hellfishgrampa]

I am really sorry, it could be just because of the bad recording. But in my opinion it doesn't sound really good. I have respect, I'm also playing in an orchestra so I know what that means. But I think that it's not very good. Good, but not pretty good.

Dt.: Ich finds nicht so toll. Besonders die Bläser klingen nicht toll. Allerdings kann auch die Aufnahme schuld sein. Dennoch, es geht besser.

[ladysman913]

at 1:51 the trunpet cracked

[VanumBlack]

5:00 almost made me cry T_T beautifully!

[PrincessStephanieH]

l get that this song isn't too easy cause an orchestra I'm in is working on is as well, a youth ensemble as well, but it seems that there is always something off about the playing whether it be tuning issues or just being together. I didn't like the tempos much here either.

[bardock19929]

wow you guys are off tempo really bad..

[jingeshan24]

well i saw some better preformances but you should consider that they are kids....

when it was too hard they slowed down and the song would sound way better if there was no percussion instruments. the drums souded like firecrackers and the crash sounded like someone broke a plate.

[WhiteNinja09]

Yeah, I think that's Pat on the french horn part. He's all state I believe.

On the trumpet crack in the solo, man, I remember watching Brad as he made that mistake and cringing. But yeah, the brass kicks ass in this performance. The strings were good in the beginning but then it got weird...violins rock in beginning though. Flutes are crap in the beginning. lol GO RAIDERS!!!

[shsbrad08]

you are sadly mistaken, not me on trumpet. that was jordan.

[xxMusiclsMyLifexx]

The violins sound awesome in this song!

Awesome Orchestra. = ]

[grapeace1]

Very nice. I thought the first clip that you get when you type in "Korean HS orchestra" is good too. Both of them are very nice.

[Ztyellow]

I wish we played this in full instead of in symphonic

[Moconnor834]

wow ok firstly your picc and flute parts were all over the place as the tune started arriving at 0:16 onwards then the tempo GOD it was all over the place you should have just stuck to one. if certain sections were hard they should have slowed the whole piece down. and the trumpet at this solo was flat but other than that it was an alright performance.

[himandood]

what maconner said is all true. I purely agree wih him

[gotoenterprises]

The tempo is SUPPOSED to vary. It's specifically marked in the score AND parts.

[themillenia]

Dude, the trumpet cracked the note in the beginning.

[tkdaly]

Hmmm... Your concert master knows what there doing! I am the first chair cello player and I dont like our concert master she is mean!

[tkdaly]

Wow your cello players played amazingly!

go cello players!

[PlientiejJ]

Great music and well played!

I wish we had an orchestra like that on our school

[Pawlerski]

This song is better than all Star Wars, LotRs...

[uppywards]

Awesome! Our middle school will be doing a version of this in the Spring. We don't have nearly the amount of instruments, so it won't be quite as involved, but I'm excited about it! Again, GREAT, GREAT job!! Just like the pros!

[Stollhofen]

This is an amazing piece, and you pulled it off wonderfully! My high school doesn't have a string collection, only woodwind, percussion, and brass. This sounds so wonderful!

[xXCatziiXx]

We played this too!

The cellos weren't loud enough there at the start, which was disappointing cos its an ace tune !!

[hanna12863]

The concert master needs to use his arm a little bit more. get more into it.

[PunjabiJatt08]

A good concert master is not judged by how well he or she can get into teh music.. it how well tehy carry teh orchestera and play. so in this.. my concert master ( yes, i am the 1st chair bass) is an amazing violinist.

[gotoenterprises]

You're both partly right and wrong. A good concertmaster can and does both of those things well.

[mugg12345]

Orchestra is very nice. But the Sound sucks hard :\ But really good. They are damn good!

[samajula]

coolies, i love the movies and the music.

[LauraLu441]

WOW!

[hahaidontcare]

that french horn solo gave me goosebumps! and i like it at 47.

I am a violinist/ trumpet/ french horn/ and sax player, in our full orchestra and we played this last year.

they need to work on the trumpet at 1:50 and he/she needs to tighten their ombrechure.

[raelovestby]

French Horn gave me goosebumps too!

GEEZ!

[dibeas]

omfg the camera recorder is a piece of junk....i wished it got recorded better sound wise....damn u guys are good

[hockeypros]

ah haha im playing this on the trumpet, in a (45?) piece orchestra. We usually crank up the speed. This is pretty well done, nice job

[BlackEvanescence]

Hey, we played this too! The repeating triplets at the start should have been a bit softer, and you guys weren't all together. ^_^ Man, you guys DID take it fast! Those first violins were way up there. 2:17 sounds really nice, though; I like the melody. Nice intonation, though...the microphone isn't great, though.

I'd curb the forte a bit too....it's fun to play loud, but not all the time. Of course, our orchestra's not one to talk on that. =[

[fieffles]

wow. second half was really slow. other than that, it was good

[freshandround]

this one is played with heart. i love it.

btw: the mic of this cam suckz ;)

[freshandround]

this one is played with heart. i love it!

[heatheretteg123]

we are playing this in my orchestra, but wow, you guys took this FAST.

[shalisawong]

my school played it least year when i wasnt there yet )=

[locky889]

wow i wish we had enough people to form an orchestra but we don't have enough students. but we do have a 46 peice wind symphony and a 20 peice big band so we get to play a fare bit of good music. but i realy wish we had the band to play this type of music. :(

[snapplejuice]

err.. how can u mess up a freakin disney song guys..when i was in high school..our full-orchestra was playing the original dvorak's new world. 1st and 4th movement..on top of the other countless masterpieces we played. google that.

[silentfire88]

Firstly, the orchestra suffered a huge loss a few months before this, our previous director passed away. Secondly, this is the 2nd attempt at a full orchestra for this high school.

With that said, I know that Dvorak's New World symphony is incredibly hard and applaud your hs orchestra.

[macemada]

good for you... how long was that? you and your hs full orchestra sound so perfect. wow.

FYI this song is beatiful and was played by SHS with heart.

[ArthurBrazil]

One of your trumpets really needs to learn how to control volume. Just because you play loud doesn't make you play good.

[katferguson]

Really good playing!

THe recording seemed to lose the bass line at parts though =(

[superwomanperson]

Awesome!!

[Mirandaj94]

Is that Mr.Crosby the conductor of the shs orchestra?

[silentfire88]

Yes that's him, he came in after the previous director passed away... how did you know him?

[superwomanperson]

What Hs is this?

[silentfire88]

Southwest High School... Fort Worth TX. I probably should edit the description...

[halo78912]

I Think the Trumpet Ran Out Of Air In Some Places.

[b3nji323]

awesome

[kooky115]

really good.....

[ihatemondayskid]

you guys should hear our orchestra, i don't have a video but i have a song and i will get it on...

[KandAMom]

You guys did an awesome job! We're going to miss you, seniors!

[Georgester117]

the bowing pattern is not the same through out

[silentfire88]

That's something that I noticed too, but this IS a high school orchestra... and even being concertmaster, specific bowings weren't always obvious in this song.

[pishvafar]

good job guys!

[PunjabiJatt08]

this video is awesome! i cant belive that we did such an awesome job! GOOD JOB SHS ORCHESTRA!
