Lion King Medley

[linfinster]

Great job! That conductor must have worked VERY hard to get them to play this well together!! That's a big school band! KUDOS!

[MsWolfinden]

I wish I could to this.. omg

[jsupra]

pretty good

[Yakkay1972]

It gave me chills.

[ExtremeKnexRides]

for a high school. With no high grade technical quality to even the sound etc, they are f******ing awsome

[lionhearte1]

Hey, not bad at all!!! The brass opening works really well I think! And the conductor makes the appropriate arm movements depending on what effect s/he wants to achieve, it doesn't have to be small OR large ALL the time!!!!

If anything I would say constructively that the percussion is a little too loud, but apart from that nice job!

[Genners111]

WELL DONE -- I was in a high school band myself! Have some respect, people! Sounds awesome!

[wkozaa123]

its not them, its the conductor. they're following the conductors movements.. the conductor is supposed to do small beats, not large waving of the arms. i'm in band myself, and they're not supposed to have a band this big. nor the conductor who likes to wave her arms like a mad woman.

[darthguy3]

Do not trash this, and do not ask everyone to only say nice things. The trick is finding the mid-point, popularly called constructive criticism. I mean, they're not hopeless but don't tell them that they're better than they actually are.

[MultiTractorgirl]

this is so good you guys blend so well its beautiful im a freshamman in high school and play the flute for band and flute and saxaphone for jazz band you guys all shine evenly in all the songs

[hjs1966]

horrible version ... nothing but to loud

[XxBilskDaddyxX]

wow they skipped the best part of the song but i guess it would have sounded bad anyway

[XxBilskDaddyxX]

legit 5 times the six of my band and we still sound better than this crap I'm 1st trumpet and listening to this makes me realizes how good i actually am

[BeatleFreak0]

OH MY GOSH I MISS BAND SO MUCH D"X

[austinthebookworm5]

sounds pretty great :D



[frenchiegurl101]

@MikeMsDaughter11 Once you hear OUR band, you'll know what I mean.

@Miny351 Because I'm trying to find a good band to hear so that I know how to improve our skills as an orchestra. Appearantly it's impossiblbe because we are just that good.

[lionhearte1]

@frenchiegurl101 Upload a video of it then, if you haven't already, and let us review it for you!

[aceflyer89]

We play the same piece, they still sound better than us. Good job everyone :) 

[CreamTartable]

i'm hoping to transfer there :) My school is HORRIBLE! Lets just hope I pass the entrance test! is it easy? Please tell me! I saw all the photos and I would be sooooo glad to be there :)

[cardinals3902]

Eleanor Roosevelt high school did it better

[Ycreations]

There are too many players ..... I need a bit less then The Music can be better expressed

[Starlingwing]

I miss the Hakuna Motata part of the song! I love that trumpet solo! Great job though!

[ijusthatecucumbers]

I thought Hakuna Matata was included in this arrangement?

[frenchiegurl101]

I am currently playing this song in my band but we sound a lot more...professional.

[Miny351]

@frenchiegurl101 God dont hate, jeez if u dont like it, then why did u even watch the video to begin with

[MikeMsDaughter11]

@frenchiegurl101 Gog, tone down your ego, why don't you?

[austinthebookworm5]

@frenchiegurl101 a lot more... arrogant

[naita022]

Yayayaa I played this arrangement last year and i loved my clarinet solo hakuna matata too bad they didn't play that part :(

[jcsbyrd36]

AWESOME! But no Hakuna Motata in the medley? awwwww.

[UnicornKiss85]

wow thats so great, you could make the music for disney in future... there no difference

[marvelgirlmarvel]

Wow, my middle school band only has eighteen people and we played too!

[TheBountyhunter89]

goosebumps THAT WAS AMAZING

[akumaxayumi]

awww i remember missing this cuz i had to go prepare for the choir performance

[RJA10001]

wow that is amazing!!!

[the0server]

yall didnt do hakuna matata i know thats in the medley cuz i played the solo for it

[camcam999]

@the0server GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

[trumpetmaster5001]

My school is doing that arrangement.

[buzzerbeater9000]

thats a large band

[tenorplayer1234]

wheres the trumpet solo

[nicnad]

drum is waaay to loud :(

[rockstarandyouknowit]

can u feel the luv tonight is way way too fast, totally ruin the song, but overall really good. abt the gym, caf or aud is really better. even for us, our caf stage is pratically crowded with instrument players, but at least the sound is good. our concert is on april 14 at 7 pm at applewood heights secondary.. and hope our lion king medley sounds just as great :)

[latiod4444]

aussiesawesome, i think you can partly blame that on the acoustics of a gymnasium, , although i agree partly. it sounds awesome tho guys!

[AussiesAwesome]

Percussion was a bit loud

[AlmostGoneMad]

3.49 was played so so so much better than me. This band is awesome!

[1xcscgrl]

they're practically in a gym for goodness sakes!! terrible place for any sort of professional sound

[Lyeo13]

I agree

[Marshmallowmann]

objection!

[MsEyeoftheBeholder]

Give them a break, will you?

It's a High School band for Christ's sake, they may sound a bit messy in some parts but they're still fucking awesome.

[toodlepip990]

why is everyone being so mean on the comments? it's a high school performance, you're not watching a proffessional band - you don't have to watch it, so stop critiscising! i wish i could play in a brass band and sound as remotly tuneful as this lot.

[Christine578]

can you fell the love tonight is way too fast

totally messy

[Arvelli10]

@Christine578 Definitely! Because it's not fell.

[ThedevinE90]

haha i thought my highschool band sucked... we played this peace and sounded way better

[Blondechick5998]

amazing! i wish my high school sounded like that.

[mikhail3710]

i can barely hear the medley...

[rooeybeer]

Not brilliant i have to agree with the Majority of people, bad articulation, bass end to powerful, clumsy start, lack of dynamice. Very messy!

[anotsofamiliarface]

wHy diD YoU cApitAlizE tHe "M" iN MajoRiTY?

[KrissyNikki92]

Low end can NEVER be to powerful! Mind you... I'm in that end so I'm a little biased, but.... SH NEVER TOO MUCH BASS! (=

[ItszOnlyJosh]

you cut out the trumpet solo. -_-

[MGAgurl]

hakuna matata got cut?? :(

[PlatinumVersion78]

Look up AHMSBand we are good!

[brodski1]

i loved be prepared!

[angelyear2006]

This isn't very good...I've played in a band larger than this and our articulations were a lot better...but it may be the microphone quality.

[kitty194762]

wow, my school band we're only 39, and thats kids from grade 7 to 12. But this could have been better, but I guess it would be hard to become better at using technique rather then just playing with such a large group.

[lilnaruto305]

ehh, this could have been A lot better.

[aerach5]

i agree.. not enough use of dynamics

[cardanth]

i can't believe how many people are on that stage. from 10 at my school to, what, 100. unbelievable. hardly no dynamic change but that's very difficult to achieve with so many people playing. those flutes were actually bearable considering... trumpets! what the hell! unbelievable. i'll pay to see another performance from the combined band.

[gibsonn14]

you can't tell at all what it actualy sounded like because the camera's microphone sucked, if you were at the performance it probably would have sounded much better and you would hear the dynamic contrast much better

[ChristineCheney]

haha sounds**

whoops.

[ChristineCheney]

That sunds really good.

[tgangsta606]

OMG amazing job with the percussion, i don't know if its the camera or not but balance the sound and it would be ten times better

[fitzsi11]

where hakuna matata?

zara xox

[fitzsi11]

4.16-4.18

in every band that played this, that chromatic drop always gets me

ITS FUCKING SICK!

fitzy xox

[vitorplayback]

no words........wonder.....

[puterdown69]

that sounds really good

[mrneekog]

this is not as good as it could sound. only cuz where u guys performed cant evenly distribute ur great sound

[Dedene]

glockenspiel is almost always too late

[elseachay06]

that was cool lol it gave me goosebumps. lion king is my fav disney movie so this was awesome

[Noey1900]

Thank you

[soccerluva4eva23]

this is definitely the best lion king i have heard yet. my band is playing this piece and i have been listening to other pieces to get a feel for it. even though hakuna matata is omitted, the talent makes up for it. kudos to you!

[Borcush]

Tim Rice and Elton John.:)

[astr0n0mer]

Actually, it was John Higgins although the original music was written by Elton John and Tim Rice

[deadline07]

who arranged this song?

[Honeyloli007]

How many flutes do you have????

gosh

it's okay....

[zekew32394]

i love the intro. but percussion seems to overpower the winds. and yall need more energy when u play. u should have just as much energy as the director. and she has TONS of it. keep working

[RonjaBardh]

Really good :) It's fun to play in a orchestra :D Bäckablås Wind Band (the name of the orchestra I play in) :D

[hsnfootball75]

Sorry guys but holy cow you sped up way too much at "Be prepared". Have you ever heard the original. Oh my... My Conductor would be ashamed of you guys. Play it by ear sometimes is better than creating your own tempo. Check out the lion king medly video with the people with white shirts they played it almost perfect. But this band played this song way way way too fast. Its a slow and easy going song.

[phillydogger]

lol, because you know the orchestra's totally the one that arranged this, amirite?

[ArchangelofMight]

Just because YOUR orchestra would have done it one way, doesn't mean THEY have too. What they have done is just fine.

[NFL49ERS]

wow, awesome

[highschoolmusical617]

geesh u guys are in high school u guys are good!! no ur not ur great! but i played this in 7th grade

[SteRo90]

Where are the emotions???? omg! it's so bad, sorry!

We definitly played it better!

[deadline54]

hey do you know who arranged this piece, i wanna see if my band teacher would get this for our band to perform.

[9tailedfoxdemon99]

Dude! i want our band to play that next year! We only got pirates D:

[ultimatesly]

they forgot hakuna matata

[mick5474]

Sound's ok, I play this with my band, only a few points.

1.All at the wrong tempo, much too fast slow it down a bit.

2.percussion far far too loud , can't hear the other parts clearly

3.Conducted to fast, especially at 2:25 the lead in.

4.Then in "be prepared" you're all racing slow down.

5.Also at 06:07 end part to fast.

Apart from that all good, I know hard it is my conductor would stop at every little thing and pretty soon people would start to walk out the room.

[MercurySilver]

You mean this band plays it differently from the way your band did? Shock horror. That's the beauty of music mate.

[mogarsnite]

heck yes! we played this exact same song!!!

although the percussion is playing over everybody else o.0

haha it's okie though... GREAT QUALITY of air flow as well

[luvhannahxo]

i am playing this aswell, this was ok. but this band definetly drowned out many parts

[blizzfreak]

Great job! I'm playing this as well, and this seems a bit fast imo.

[ajmazz918]

Hey we are playing a piece almost just like this. Only we have hakuna matata between be prepared and can you feel the love tonight. I play trumpet. Great job! Our band is nowhere near that big lol, but we still sound great, not to brag.

[krazyutubefreak]

FYI: This is a band, not an orchestra.

[Ynix8]

What difference does it make? You can call it whatever you want... An orchestra is a group of musicians playing together, and this clearly is that. call it wind band or orchestra, it still is the same thing...

However, this sounds really great!

[nowayout001]

Well, in fact, people believe that band is somewhat more associated with popular culture and orchestra is more associated with high culture. I don't understand why but they seem to see it this way.

[boomypower]

Cool, thought I wont be listening to this ever again! Its different when you are watching it, cause I was the flautist at the end of the 2nd row of flutes lol.

[WoahhxSweetx3]

I'm playing a piece similar to this, it's a little shorter than this, but all around the same. Very great band! :)

[Diluptha]

Ever so slightly out of tune, but that's just me being a tightass string player.

Feelings matter more.

[pollyolly100]

did they skip hakuna matata

[justkadu]

SO POWERFUL!

[GlleMusic]

cool, nice but they cut some parts of the song because i played that song in my school and some stuff is missing but anyway good

[M3ta1]

I love the way the conductor does some measures. She looks like she's drawing a heart.

[M3ta1]

o and awesome job percussion!

[spiano18]

Wow the first 15 seconds really hit me hard!

[bobbycat8]

great sound and lots of people

[wahineoahu]

awesome!!!

[enigma8828]

the trumpets' tone is amazingly clean and from that alone I can tell how good your band must be. Nice job, awesome arrangement as well =D

[waitingfor2008]

Freaking awesome performance!! Great arrangement too. ^^

[SquirrelHunter000]

this must be a damn rich school distiric what state is this in?

[doey8]

Melbourne High and MacRobertson Girls High are two state schools in Victoria, Australia.

[kpi125]

I miss the song and the solos
