[yoursdiana1]

This sound okay but ive heard better

were playing this song for our band this year for our christmas concert and its soo much fun

First of all, he needs to stop licking his fingers. Next, this is a college orchestra, not a middle school one. The flat instruments are not acceptable. The entire piece should have a lot of feeling to it. This rendition lacks that. Where are the chimes and bells in this production? There are none. It is quite apparent this piece was not rehearsed enough. I am a professional drummer and have played that piece a dozen times. When played correctly, you have the audience glued to you.

isnt this faster or is my idea

[babygap101]

Best oboe i've ever heard

[franklinilan]

@babygap101 I agree!

[xXaznstar12Xx]

Awesome! The unbalanced sound does the oboe justice lol. This is my second year in band and we are playing a version of this song (the change starts at 1:21) but we don't go this fast.

Is it just me or is it out of tune at :05?

[NickJLUVA01]

wow. i wish i could play oboe that good, haha. im trying to tune mine right now and im having major difficulty. were playing this song in band at least i think we are. but its a really hard song for an oboe player thats only been playing for 3 years

[oboeman89]

I little out of time and a little out of tune on occasion, but not bad, ESPECIALLY for a community orchestra. LOVELY OBOE SOUND! Hahaha, it sounds wonderful. I think the camera was too close to the oboe section lol. Well done :)

[Giovanni98347]

we play the 1:29-31 differently the sax and clarinet make that part stand out

[weers94]

It would sound better at silent night with the chimes. That is a very important part in that part of the song.

I love this piece. My high school band is playing it. We played before we first went to the Rose bowl, so our band director thought it would be nice to resurrect it. It's a tough piece to play if you don't have an orchestra, though we pulled it off last time, I think we can do it again.

And I think the camera was placed in one of the worst places, so the sound is really off. When 'Deck the Halls' started, the oboe and clarinets sounded off.

[sworly]

no brass?

[dazzlediva5]

not enough dynamics!!!!!!! at silent night, it should be 'piano'.. it was more like forte....altogether, it was good.

[oboegrrl]

Hey oboes,

Nice work, it sounds good! :)

[Giqantic]

its actually a really nice Oboe.

[s071302]

It's a good example for our orchestra!

[lsimburger]

while looking at the music for this piece and knowing that there are tenor saxes in an orchestra i swear that i heard some at about 1.30 - 1.50 the timing was off and i love the oboe sound and i am going to blame it on the camera placement for the lack of balance. i am sure that from the audience the piece would have sounded better but from that spot it didn't sound good.

[sweetheart928]

OMG! I love this song! It was fun playing this in orchestra ever year during the holiday season while I was in high school. Especially Jingle Bells and the finale. LOL!

[MCMxx39]

everyone forgets that important triangle part!

[BurkeSorenson]

we didn't have enough percussionists for this piece

[trumpetdudeman07]

its a little unbalanced at the beginning but what a wonderful w/wind sound!

[drjcs3]

This piece was a favorite of my father's. I really enjoyed it...again.
