Carol of the Bells - MMHS Band - Sapphire Sound

[DarkPlauge241]

the dynamics are really nice and well done but i think at some parts the wood winds aren't together and the trumpets were late on the DA DADA DA DAAAA idk how see to explain it ll i had the music cuz my school band played it in a concert anyway other than that this was really good :)

[EstarBEAST]

they were good but we are better!! HONORS BAND!! yeaa. we're BEAST!! We can sight read this!!! and they were not in tune!!! that really messed them up well the flutes!

[memasterer]

[cheeselover5921]

thats preety good but my band is better

[themedeljavier]

i played it in 7th grade with my band ..........its sounds awsome

[FunniestManInMall]

the people that disliked this video probably don't even know how to play an instrument

[seaturtlle101]

I play french horn . i'm in middle school and in advanced band. THIS IS THE MOST ADVANCED PIECE I HAVE.

[67gothgirl]

my high school band is playing this same arrangement soon. i absolutely love this song.

[IndyB25]

Just wait, when my band plays it, it'll be just as great as this.

[48484649sakura]

I'm playing Carol of the Bells at my middle school, but we play WAY faster than this.

[musicalgenius98]

@48484649sakura lol. Same thing for me.

[seaturtlle101]

@48484649sakura

Me too!

[paranoia1010]

I CANT WAIT TILL MY CHRISTMAS CONCERT TOOK ME A DAY TO LEARN TO PLAY THIS ON FRENCH HORN :D GOOO! FRENCH HORN! :D

[TheYoungMLGkid]

@paranoia1010 Awesome You play a F horn To! I'm the only one in my school!

[themedeljavier]

@paranoia1010 it took me a hour to learn tuba and it took me 30 min. to learn saxaphone

[morganstout21]

@paranoia1010 GOOOOOO FRENCH HORNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheUnicornpants]

this is so much better than when my band plays it but we just learned it so yea

[meanjoecoop]

Please tell me they had this song recorded in HD, in a studio setting, and where can I get it? This is one of the best performances of this song I have ever heard. Amazing!

[ActorFlautista]

This was just way too PERFECT! I love it! Congratz to the director!

[ishootbutterflywings]

dayuuuum

[jamiehernandeeeezy]

It's always great to look back to these old high school videos and see all the positive feedback. Makes me proud to say that I was a part of this video and this group. This was my senior year. I miss the Sapphire Sound♥

[Jazzbeu55]

It must be a real rush for a director to cue a section and have them come in with the sort of power the low brass and trumpets did. This is a very good high school band.

[ZashIshimata]

school bands always make the best version of this song e.e

[Raxadin]

It's been 3 years since this video came out, and it still surprises me how many people still watch this performance! Who'd have known that 3 years later this video would have over 54000 views!

[EmilyRoxTuba]

that is so cool!

[BloodyxCupcakes]

That was amazing. It sounded very professional

[BMW325cinj]

i think Ridgefield Park High School in New Jersey did cool but not as good as you guys, i wish i recorded their performance, because they use drums, guitar, and keyboard along with the regular band instruments in one big band, which to me was epic but this if EPICER!! i with that was a real word

[SuperCMajor]

love the sound! that's an amazing sound for a marching band, very dramatic! love it! what i do have to say something negative about is the expression of the director. she could have put more emphasis on the climactic points of the piece herself. props to the band though for have the feeling of the music down in their soul, they know what their doing no joke. but the director should give cues to when things happen, otherwise the band could get used to it and not follow later cues when given.

[cecejackson1]

CLAIRNET RULESSS BEEN 1ST CHAIR 3YEARS BAK 2 BAK 2BAK N LUV it nd we playn diz song 4 r christmaz concert kant w8

[chaoticman3]

[anonymous746582]

[KWOOTfluke]

[TheSwanprincess16]

WOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsAdvr]

[lotrfan771]

heh, i remember doing this in MIDDLE SCHOOL, but i tried looking for my trumpet part for this but couldn't find it. I need this again because this really helped increase my range and I'm in the process of changing my embrochure; so I REALLY NEED THIS MUSIC. Can neone help me?

[cafe20011]

This is very well arranged and conducted.

The Band has to be one of the most disciplined high school bands around!

[PWMW001112349chugga]

[singerguy93]

[CharmedAlien38]

[blue98starwars]

Epic!

[awsomness1111]

i like the song better when played inna band instead of the actual song have no idea y lol :]

[MONEYTAKEA]

Most definately it sounds better as an instrumental than some type of vocal chorus. I love this peice when its played by a band.

[blue98starwars]

It does.

[blue98starwars]

I agree!

[qazqwe10]

i have to rewrite this for my band.... shiz

[Rizima]

You did a good job. I just wish that I had the version of my school doing it. I think we could have given you a great run for "best version on the net by a highschool band" Lol.

[cutiepie94578]

This sounds like my band.

[anime123219]

[OPTIMISM21]

this music would take me a loooong time to learn

yet i highly appreciate it

[smileybob616]

this is very good!! i want 2 c if my middle school 7th grade band can play this. (we are the best out of all the years that my band director taught) (thats 25 years)

[getceny]

[twilightflutefreak]

[Mschristomlinfan]

You guys sound better than my school but you have a bigger band.

[meeblee15]

[ImKamile]

[Bassoonplayer29]

[twilightflutefreak]

You guys did amazing my middle school is doing a slightly diffrent arangement of this and your trumpets are amazing

[EmoVampireKnight666]

you kids did good =)

I played this in grade school xD

best song to play.

-thumbs up-

[alleycat101100]

I know, I feel the same way! xD I'm in the first row too! lol

[Jbbiznatch14]

I hate how the director doesn't get into it and just goes up and down! And I hate that her down beats is when shebis goin up!! That dwould confuse the shit out of me! But hey this band kicks ass! Good job great dynamics

[clarinetgirl182]

Wow... They did awesome! I want our band to do this, but they dont care enough to make it sound good. And we also have problems with dynamics because our concerts are played in our gym and our gym echos REALLY bad so each dynamic sounds 10 times louder than we really play it, so mf, f, and ff sound exactly the same...

[runwildforever]

woooooow

This is really good

very,very nice dynamics!

[KMswimexpress]

WOW! that was really good, very good dynamics, this is an awesome christmas song! We're playing carol of the bells but its a different arrangement

[KrazyKevin10615]

its really good the camera just makes it sound bad

[joemoma184]

it must suck having to play your concert in a gym.

[zac3055]

we have to but they put down tarps and we have a stage but we all still use the gym floor because we can seat the sdults in front of use

[purplegiolover]

Im a student from Everglades High and this peace is one of my favorite pieces that i had every played in my past 3 years . my school plays it diffrently but i love hearing all the diffrent ways of playing this peace . you should go check out ours .

[factionxvt408x]

yeah i agree...this is great playing if only they played it in their theatre.

[zac3055]

the only one bad thing ius no one is tapping there foot

[2friends196]

WoW tht was really good im in 7th grade and im in band tht sounded so good im going to mention this to my band teacher

[MEGHEADASAURAUS]

Me too.

(; I wanna play this in my school band sooo bad O:

[zac3055]

me threee

[PapparaziNational]

we are playing christmas angels at ours, and this. Shorter version though.

[austinrodrigez]

is this jazz bndor regular band

[froggytwelve]

I LOVE this song. Our school is playing this song in our christmas show. But we are playing it like the Trans Siberian Orchestra. I like this version and it sounds very nice. But i love our version. When we are done playing it idk it just feels so intense to play it.

[kmmasterpiece]

this is very loud and good ;)

[GameingParty]

Carol of the (BELLS)

[MrCReagan]

We're doing this version of it! lol

[ethorner1]

what level of band is this? or is it combined? our band is gi-normus

[jobrosluver510]

i meant we are better and we are one of the best bands in missouri

[jobrosluver510]

[Mystage4life]

woooow. This is AMAZING (L)

[Kino0726]

That was HELLA good! It sounded like a recording GJ

[yazzieAZ]

[Mschristomlinfan]

Do you have clarinets

[156Meg]

my school is going to play this song idk y but we play high school music and we are a middle school

[hyperrandomgirl39]

my high school is doing a variation of this somg and i dont think ours is this good. i play flute and this is really cool good job

[MySoulsAblaze]

That was epic!

[NOHeHasNot]

I think this band is big enough to split into a symponic and concert band...theres way too many trumpets, saxes, and flutes!

[Mschristomlinfan]

Inpressive you sound better than my school but only the grade 7 band. I like your uniforms.

[The2Seasons]

Amazing. Simply amazing. I was in the band and so were my two sisters and its wonderful.

[xloserfacequinn]

ohdearlord. fabulous. that was amazing. i really hope to be in a band that size, and play as brilliantly as this. (: i adore this piece.<3 undoubtedly, fantastic.(:

[beng2809]

[TheGinizzie]

YOU ARE SO GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

[jerryboi511]

[Crazybailey08]

[serbiangirl29]

I'm so jealous of this band. we don't even have 40 members :/

they played it well

[IXDemyxIXSitarIX]

i know right! with both of the band classes together in my school we have like 35

[diewtay]

neither do we nd we put to grades togerther ( 7/8) we only have like 21 students

[eastsheen108]

in my 6th grade class we had like over a 100 kids in tit then 50 in 7th grade then 20 in 8th grade

[crispisauce]

omg i cant find any good versions of the songs my band plays. I looked up the song vehicle which sucks played by the actual band, and this song which there are a ton of wierd versions. I JUST WANT A NORMAL ORCHESTRA/BAND PIECE of these songs

[bergaminivideos]

ask your director if he has the audio version.....if he bought the sheet music it should come with an audio sample.

or look for the publisher of your musics website....they should have a free download.

hoped that helped

[crispisauce]

thnx, im sure he has it, he has a program that plays the notes while you play one part but im not sure if its mp3 format ill have to check or ill check the publisher

[theidiotboyz]

whoa so cool im playing this at dan flong its pretty damn cool im a trumpet im pretty good i have a solo in this song at measure 110

[ChelseCreek84]

we're playing this arrangment this year...very nice job. I am a trumpet. could use just a little tuning but very very nice!

[oneawesomebandgeek]

this is good! the clarinets are a little bit out of tune but who cares. I'm a clarinet player and my band is playing this this year...not this arrangement but close to it.

[topfuel567]

u guys are amazing

[wotlkmandaniel]

nice u guys have mad skillls im a trumpet player i wish i could play like that

[hannahindc]

I PLAYED this last year as first chair flute as a freshman! shows how much our flute section stinks! anyway i wish the flute solo was longer:)

[11Deisley11]

That's such a big band compared to mine! We only have about 28 to 30 members. Barely. We're playing a different version of this song at our concert.

[bergaminivideos]

we have a 200 peice band......our jazz band is like 12 people.....lmao

[camladyiswickeawsome]

dude we have a 500 piece band and our jazz band was full before the end of the first day.... weird...

[bergaminivideos]

500!?!?!?!?!? thats third the population of our school.

and its hard to get into jazz band in our school....you need to take like 20 tests

[camladyiswickeawsome]

seriously?!?!? at ours u just sign up. weird. nd lik half of our school is in band ^_^

[bergaminivideos]

yea i know lmao its quite ridiculous but we got some really talented people in the jazz band

[GBforce3]

Ya this is very well played but just some constructive criticism you probable should have be careful of your stances.
