[fred504610]

Bungie Would be Proud

[nickpower03]

lol this was awesome it made me emotional

[sgtXFACTOR]

asians, can master anything but the concept of driving....

[TheAceofOcea]

@sgtXFACTOR you mean asians tends to be very good at using "dex instruments" such as the piano o.o just like black peeps tends to be awesome at music, but whites are good only at science and videogames, isnt that kinda true ? O.o dont call me racist, i only meant these strange facts are just real xD funny :) but wow 12 years old... i would say 8-9 years old here

[ChaosReighn]

that was awsome!!!!! wish my school did somethen like this back in the day lol!!

a lil off pitch, but hell i dont care a+++

[TKproductionsTK]

my favourite orchastra music done BRILLIANTLY by 8th graders

[L3gend955]

HELLLLLLLL YEAH, you kids Fuckin rock!!!

[joshodst]

a bit too slow,but still good...

[yoosdareloqesbueno]

what a shit loool

[hellraser1234]

You guys fucking suck our orchestra beats the shit out of this 10 times faster and better dynamics, GF

[soccerwin55]

SWEET!

[enotdetcelfer]

Yea.. it's almost like they were off by two scales... like 2/7ths of the notes were flat compared to the original score. and the tempo was off by about 16bpm... hmm kind of awkward... 8P If I knew more about music I could probably critique it right but I'm not really qualified lol. Good job for the level you're at. Sorry as I'm not knowledgeable enough to point out what should be a simple fix...

[iceeyousee65]

Does anyone know where I could get the viola sheet music for this song? I can't find it anywhere.

[Rehberg1]

I heard a few misplaced notes, and a few fumbles, but other than that it's pretty good. It does sound alright slowed down, but it sounds best at normal speed.

[HardwareFraud]

@Rehberg1 their also in 8th grade

[kurniawan4000]

never seen any orchestra or band played this song at the speed these guys are playing; and it sounds amazing when it's played slow. I know you guys can play better than this, so I'm not going to comment on the playing but I like the arrangement and rendition... playing it slow makes it in a different mood altogether.

[kilo2959]

awesome job!!

[RONALFEO]

that was epic. "tear"

[booody999]

nice but slow its just like am saying haaaaaaaaaaaalo instead of just halo!!! lol

[infernelrock117]

i wish my band class kicked ass like yours

[dirty654321]

some out of tune notes bit it was ok

[KXMoon]

Well, I really think the pace of this song killed it, no longer making it a "lively song", but not bad.

[spartanfromthbay]

yeah halo rules.

[ImpossableRage]

Great Job!

[cyborg216]

thats not bad thats somrthing to be proud of

[DarkShadowSpirit]

lol sounds just like it.... trippy....

[bighit24]

Very good. Slow, but actually may work in a game depending on the pace of the action. Well done kids! Marty would give a thumbs up I bet.

[theArbiter30000]

that was slow but ok

[Volumpitiki]

That was really good for the age and number of musicians! yah but faster would have been better.

[abe9tiger]

Man! They were so awesome!

[LMAOhalo3]

Wasn't best but good for there age

[17arri]

Ur good!!

[hoodedstranger666]

they're awesome and im amazed that kids that young are able to play it =D good job

[gothassassin]

it was pretty badass, and for the people that are gunna put a negative comment i ask u... can u do it? huh?.... if not, then fuck off.... :)

[inuyashajak]

dude you got to admit that was kinda lame with those many people you guys could of done way better. BUT THAT SUcked dude im sorry.

[xwawas]

piss of if ur gonna put a nege comment!

[DominanceOfFate]

that was pretty good but i think it would be much better it went faster.. like twice as fast

[FoodNegotiator]

that sucked dick

[miceown]

can u send me the sheet music for it?

[vincent2938]

EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drakdargon]

halo halo halooooo! :D

[yoyologuy]

a bit faster with the tempo xD but the sound is right which is good

[blackalbino360]

Wow, better than i thought, but if it was a little faster....been perfect

[poiuytrewqfg]

gao XD

[Glasgowkiss37]

better than i was expecting, my middle school band sucked ASS!!! probably cause i was in it.

[Scraggarax]

Could you send me the music sheets? I want to see if my teacher wants to try this :D

[Generalkidd]

Great job! Not bad. My school is also trying out the Halo Theme this year aswell.

[Sunburstahh]

I've seen a "gaming orchestra" LIVE BITCHES.

[kasmopaia]

cool teacher ;)

[ColonelHalicon]

Wow, I wish my orchestra teacher played Halo and let us play this at a concert...

[Blargeta]

omgomgomgomgomg

are any of you guys that made comments people at SAS?

just wondering...

[associatedwithlosi]

they need more instruments, such as trombones, french horns, trumpets, clarinets, and some percussion to make the orchestral feel, I know that it is hard to get an enthusiastic group of students to play a boring part, but my band pulled it off. Being first chair I got to play with the orchestra.

[thehombre]

nice !!!!!!

[X33401]

aaaa dat must be hard for that kid being the only one dat is able to play viola but he busted his wrist good thing he didnt hurt his fingers :)

[mnmcrapass]

sweet, i wanna playi t

[shadowlikeskilling]

I remember this song from halo 1 i think it comes out in the second level.

[envoy3]

god damn..my school didnt even have BAND in grade 8..damn you welfare regina schooling?!!!!Much props to these guys/gals..this is spot on.

[videogameaddict777]

yea, go nelson (i kno its a little late to comment on this :P)

[aaronwng]

My school is playing that for our Holiday show I believe. I've found a site that has the sheet music.

[Ksouroi]

SHeet music?!

[guitarhero250]

wow, i wish my school was that cool. playing halo in band, doesnt get better then that

[standasone37]

I wish my son could play this at his school!

[Deathdealed]

wow this is really good

[powerofktulu]

sounds great on strings.

[hitnruni95]

Pretty good for 8th graders

[dylan257]

this is shanghai american school, asian parents pressure them to practice and play good or get screaming in return

[Deryl32]

RACIST! lol rly? that sucks

[MadeInKorea02]

lol, i know!!

[KuuroKaze]

I was hoping for Unforgotten but wow thats amazing nonetheless

[thr333zy]

do you have the sheet music for that

or like do you know where to buy>

[someonenamedjoe1117]

for 8th grade thats pretty fucking awesome

[nastynate1420]

thats cool

[xstell132]

needed to be a liitle bit faster and needed PERCUSSION...

[lambuck1]

8 GRADE dang -.- theses are fricken 11-12 year olds...... i give all my Props to them they were great.

[HHHdahman]

12-13

[masterpiraka]

I actually like it with this tempo a bit more...

[HKLesterol]

11-12 year olds = grade 8? ..13-14 yr olds

= grade 8

[Thayto]

Great diffenrence! lol

[firstofthecouncil]

Yep... a year is an awful lot when you're that young.

[violet1197]

@lambuck1 12 an 13

[TehAznGurl]

@lambuck1 13-14

[Adrian4Evar]

They all can haz reconz.

[gangstachaldo14]

I wish my band teachers would let us play that

[Oblivionm]

that's sick omg!! nice!!

[elinqui9]

mmm very slow!

[zambar]

It sounds a lot different on strings.

My school did instrumental for this.

Strings must be hard, aren't they?

[Waterseas]

Actually, they're not as bad as it would seem. I know this because I'm trying to arrange it for our school too. :)

[KittyMaverick]

If only we could have such liberties in Puxi...T_T

[BenningtonBikeJumps]

thats sooooo sick

[HellAngel33]

really nice 5/5!!:D but they didn't do the tremblos.

(i can't spell)

[halo2windows]

They also didnt do vibrato

[nicklookalike]

Well done for kids your age group.  Bravo

[halo2windows]

A little slow, but fantastic!

[Spartan725]

Not the best, but great job....5/5

[turtlegal1234567]

i am playing this at my school strings, and ya'll did really well!

[yoshilove01]

cool I wish I could play that nice video

[robomonkey1]

nice effort, slow but I can tell they tried so hard on this piece, plus schools rarely come with a strings part.

[lordnibbler93]

I wish our band did stuff like that

[OblivionGateMaster]

I applaud the effort these students put into it!

[xxxEMOSHINxxx]

I can Honestly Say that that was the worst Attempt at the Halo Suit, The Tempo is totaly off and it looks like a sword fight in the violin and cello sections. And also NO BASS!!!!! OMG THE SONG IS INCOMPLETE W/ OUT THE BASS, THEY HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART THE CELLO'S CANT GO AS LOW TO GET THAT RICH FULL LOW TONE OF THE

E STRING THAT ONLY THE BASS CAN GET!!!!!

AS A BASS TEACHER FOR MY COLLEGE AND A PRIVATE TEACHER THIS IS LIKE A PUNCH IN THE FACE, AND LEARN TO TUNE YOUR INSTUMENTS..........

[RandomTask90710]

Dude there in the 8th grade!...GIVE THEM A FUCKING BREAK!

[Spectra205]

*well you have to remember these a little kids you retard... .. .geeezzz you expect little kids to get all that.....grow a brian you retard. they are good. :D *

[crackakilla]

shut the fuck up,you have no room to talk you stupid emo faggot, get that shit out of here go slit your dick or something that would be of use to the world

[Q8ySurgeon]

Hahaha u shouldve kept ur mouth shut!

u deserve all what they said lol

[Wi1ler]

dude make it better they arent professional music player

its a school band and its still pretty good

for their level only the violins sometimes hurt in my ears XD

[GaMeRuInEr]

That sounded EXACTLY like the original! Just slower.

[PynappleDog]

this weekend my orchestra lost to a school that played this =[

[musicman274]

A good song, but the viola player was WAY out of tune, and so were some of the violins.

[joebrofan4lyfe]

soo true.

i can hear it clearly.

[Drakedragon1315]

I think they need to speed it up a little and work on tuning. other wise it was good.

[yenwenlai]

omg that one violist is my brother lol

[Doomsdesire360]

so they will let you play halo songs but they wont let you open a server on the schools computers to play lan games in school life is not fare

[JohnTraviss]

You know what's more unfair?

Incorrect spelling.

[BoyMusician]

Ok, this was very good, and I seem to notice that the keyboard player was Laurence from School Of Rock, (It think).

Nice work you guys!

[jublubber]

Fricken sweet Dudes!! At my school are band was ok. it was kinda funny though we had only like 9 peaple play. and after are 2 year there was nobody playing anymore so we didnt have a junior high band. But still BRAVO!!!

[ODEE128]

nice ffort kids

[halofreak200715645]

WAAAAYYYYY

TOO SLOW!!!

but, definetly not bad at all, though al lot of people seemed out of tune...

[207053]

i wish my shcool play halo (^_^) - (0.0)

[TheMagicalSock]

It was a good performance, but it was pretty slow.

Some of the higher notes with the violin were very off key though. Overall good job, especially with that small of a band.

[the9fox]

good try

this is pretty good for 8th graders so dont dis them

if you do i wanna see you try to play this you fuckers

atless they know how to play it

[BobCharabini]

Ok, It was a good idea, but sry, it's waaaaaay too slow, and yes jellymellybombom is right, Master Chief trying to bite his left ear while banging on his damn chest.

[Hikarilover123]

That...was...AWESOME

[twilightheart101]

ok we are playing this peice in school. this peice is in B minor and than it switches to D Doriane ( a D scall played in the key of C major). this is also in 2/2 time and your playing it in 4/4. there is tremeloes for the first violin in the first 8 messures you were playing the notes withought the trememloe im sorry but i don't think you are ready for high school music or even a level 4 NYSMA im doing level 6. this peice is conciderd a level 3 so i don't see how you can play a 4 or even a hard3

[SilasR7]

omg that was sooo slow!

not bad tho

im gonna concider playing this song at a concert, gotta ask my band teacher :P

[SI13NTWA1K3R]

fucking sucks ass u suck!! u just made me hate halo

[Qwerty0791]

This is pretty bad...but hey, there are always better right? Btw SO OFF KEY

Nice vid =)

[koopatroop123]

hey, i played this song with our orchestra, your class goes a bit slow, we had to practice sooomuch to get it perfect, but when we did, we got to do an encore at our concert. your finger placement would be better lol

btw im in 8th grade to

[daantje447]

its kinda slow yea. but it fucking rule serious man! really good :D i like it 5/5!

[IFryeI]

WAY TOO SLOW, plus, no piano, right?

[arthurtho95]

it is in d major just that strings sounds a little diff piano says all >:)

[xxxEMOSHINxxx]

*RAWR* I THOUGHT IT WAS IN D MAJOR!!! BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A minor *ARGH* and dont get me started on those violas....

[BossMasterSolid]

wow o love halo great really

[zeppelinboy777]

wow, i finally appreciate district 204's music program. one high school won a 10,000 dollar award and the other a 5,000 award from the grammy foundation. these kids do suck gloriously compared to us. btw im in 8th grade as well

[coleman409]

Terrible.

[elrifle24]

lmao this is bad..

i know alot of 8th graders who play better then this.

[DaxInvader]

come on dudes they are kids!!!

[MikettheBest]

sucks donkey ballz....i wouldn't go to this concert even if u paid me to. sas puxi is way better than u nubs

[elginino]

wow that was horribalific

the violins should play faster and the cellos are bad.

you guys didnt even do the begining

wow

1/2 out of 10000.

sounds like a dying pikachu.

wow were AK and we can do better than tht with just 2 people.

just wait till we get the vid

[TopGunMan]

way too slow, not confident enough, horribly out of tune A's and high B's on E string. Makes me cringe!

[zoids4ever]

wait no bass!? b..b..but no orchestra is complet without at least one bass!! Noooooooo!

[henrik183614]

pretty impressive but the violing high A's were kinda out of tune and so were the normal

A's. but good job overall!

[henrik183614]

i like runescape

[Hans353]

lol wtf that was random

[Silverfind]

Yesterday's concert was so damn good! Especially Nancy who was the soloist.

[simplicityho]

I used to study in SAS Puxi...

I was watching the VGL Halo video, clicked on this...WTF SAS?

[henrik183614]

awsome

[AutoTom]

lol about 200% too slow but pretty impresive still

[mast3rsword]

-_- blah!

[showbizFLUFFY]

:D but no eletric guitar?

[RedGirl13]

ha i'm in the 8th grade now and i'm the only viola too lolz like ur viola or whatever lolz

it sucks ever since i started to play in the 5th grade and next year it is gonna be so weird cuz there'll be another viola in highschool and i'm not use to playing with another viola aww!!!

[thrasher12112]

Seemed kinda rushed. Like they practiced on it for only a couple of weeks.

[hobojoe360]

bit slow, but otherwise pretty good for grade 8s

[LiLiCeColdJaP]

ehhh.

coming from 8th grade its pretty good.

intonation problems here and there.

could've wished it was a little faster.

no problem though.

[Alliance1235]

yeah, pretty nuts for grade eight. I'm in grade 11 and my orchestra tried it. Maybe it was a different set of notes, but it was real hard for us.

[sk8er1490]

That's phenominal coming from 8th Graders, I'll admit there were numerous off key notes that made me cringe a little, but overall it was pretty well done.

[panthony500]

amazing! that should of happened when I was in band!

[jackiechan1010]

kool kool my skool is goin to do that too

[Kawaiikisu]

Good job overall, I'd say you guys really should've given more practice for speeding it up a bit, but being first char in the school orchestra, I can understand why you guys probably slowed down because it was concert day. Just remember cellos are the ones who set the tempo here, literally. If they start out slow, even the conductor will have a hard time.

I enjoyed this piece overall, Halo's a very addicting game, how's your arm now? :o

Great job, 8th graders!

-KK-

[daf94]

good job for 8th graders.

[cin7]

they did an amazing job considering that its only and 8th grade orchestra

WAY better then alot of orchestras ive heard and played with

[cin7]

P.S. the director is pretty horrible too...

[billmeisterrr]

it sucked

[ermaclob]

that was good but the violins had prablemes with the fast parts but still good

[bacura101]

hmm not to my higest expectations

[jpagel]

it's 8th freaking grade moron! they did great.

[anthrax102]

yeah your right

[Staloreye]

im sry guys u shoulda worked on it a bit mo before playing it at a concert

[PSCUBE13]

i do wish they would compose this for concert band also

[hellman100]

well don't be too mean they don't have any band instruments
