lol, the first violin part at the end . . . first time i ever looked at it was intimidating haha but really fun to play

[Besitzen]

Yay. I played cello at IYSO this year, it was incredible. I miss it all so much. :(

Sounds good, from what little I can hear. :P

[greenmonkey125]

thanks! I know, IYSO is so much fun to do.

I wish I had more of this recording, but my host dad in Rottenburg only recorded 12 seconds.

I went to the orchestra homecoming concert at Hill this year (I got to U of M, so it was pretty convenient) and you guys sounded great too!

[Besitzen]

Ahah. There was a section missing from the William Tell, 'cause the English Horn broke. :(

Was still good though.

I just uploaded you guys playing the Overture to Candide at Hill, you might want to take a look if you're interested!

[MrKay17]

what year was this?

[greenmonkey125]

this was in the summer of 2006

[MrKay17]

oh kool then you must know my friend stephanie b. she played the cello. i my self was in the ICE that year it was sooo much fun

[greenmonkey125]

oh cool! yeah, I know her. By ICE do you mean the international choral group?

[MrKay17]

yep, it was so much fun. oh by the way i saw you guys in Ann Arbor for your mini tour and you guys were amazing. What did you play?

[greenmonkey125]

for our mini-tour concert at Hill last year, we played Tchaikovsky's 4th, Academic Festival Overture, and An American in Paris. We also played a song called La Mer for an encore, and we sang three songs.

[MrKay17]

lol, i meant what intrument

[greenmonkey125]

AH. I played Violin, I was 5th chair

[omgstfujuliee]

haha, this is really good. :]

we're playing this for my school's last concert.

i love this song for some reason. :]

[l33tbsaxmaster]

This music is known as the beast at our school. 32nd notes for tuba are absolutely brutal.

[greenmonkey125]

yeah, I really wish I had the whole thing on video, too. I was in Germany with a host family, and I forgot to tell the guy to record it all! If you can find the whole thing, let me know!

[sweetestmocha]

i was actually looking for the whole thing on youtube. i played this in college orchestra, 2nd violin. ah the memories!

[cazam]

hey i was just wondering if u could post the whole piece because i'm going to be playing it in january and it would be nice 2 see how its played, thnx!

[greenmonkey125]

hey- that's actually all I have of it! I can send you a recording of our concert, but unfortunately only that much is on video.

[cazam]

aw thats 2 bad, but thnx anyway ^_^

[greenmonkey125]
