Dude, my high school orchestra sucked, I know I was in it. lol. I wonder if he went to this high school? like how would someone set that up? it's to amazing. lol.
Jonathan Groff did not go to this high school. This was filmed at a studio in NYC. It was part of the tour package for our school trip that we would get to perform music from a Broadway show. We did not know which show until we got in the studio. We had never seen the music before or practiced it before this performance.
Oh, that is awesome. I would have went on that school trip, all you gotta say is "Broadway" and I'm in.lol. you're really lucky that you were able to do this, my hs just went to China. lol. Wow, that's a pretty darn awesome for a cold read of a piece.
Great video, altho it seems like the sound goes out of sync a bit early on? Kimberly Grigsby is an awesome conductor, a great modern style rather than just the standard patterns. Anyone know any other vids of her conducting?
i love Kim Grigsby! she's so easygoing and makes conducting look like the coolest thing ever! i just love that she conducts barefoot during shows, it's so earthy like SA itself!
God, I wished I had that sheet music, I want my orchestra/band to play this soo bad... director said they would but the damn sheet music is impossible to find...lol
not necessarily, there are some performing arts high school that have shameful bands. this school isn't performing arts based, yet they did so great with such little time.
OMG!!!! I've totally performed in that room before. A choir I was a part of did Seasons of Love with the then-current Seasons of Love and the musical director from I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. I hope y'all had an amazing experience in that room. So much fun. ^_^!!!!!
i was scouring the site for spring awakening vids and was so surprised to see San Antonio listed in a description - it's where i live! i saw the show on March 26 and it was wonderful. and (ESPECIALLY for only having an hour to learn it), you guys did a great job!!
yeah, he's SUCH a sweetie :D after I met him at the stage door I wanted to be like "can I have you? please?" (I didn't actually say it, but I wanted to!)
wow...now i really wished I went with the group! It sounds really good and that's awsome that JGroff came! That's such an awsome oppurtunity that Mrs. Logan and you put together!
ah i am also extremely jealous. jon groff should perform w/ my school. i love how the music director, kimberly grigsby is totally rockin' out throughout the whole song. awesome video, thanks for posting :D
we didn't get him to come to our school. We went to the Caroll Studios where he met up with us. It was part of our Class trip to New York and one of the activities was to attend this Broadway workshop.
Taken in New York City. This was a Broadway workshop we applied for as the curricular part of our school trip. We had no idea ahead of time which music, director, or singer would be working with us.
If I were playing I'd be like "Fuck this" and I'd just go worship Groff in every way possible :D
