  • My 7th Grade orchestra sucks at playing this except for the handful that actually gets to school an hour early to practice with the 8th graders....I like przcticing the with the 8th graders on this song...:)

  • @LRA0201 iam in 7th to i play the cello,wat do you play

  • good job

  • O_O wth theres another school named parkforest middle

  • I think it's the conductors fault. Were doing the same song and this dude totally changed some parts that's why it sounds weird. Off tempo

  • Not awful but not great. You weren't together at parts and out of tune at others. When I was in middle school, my teacher would have given up if we played like this (Which she did one time). I'd say if a little more practice was put in it would be much better.

  • I'm playing this except its in band

  • Oh my god...

    I was just looking through videos of the song, and what do I run into? THE SAME MIDDLE SCHOOL I WENT TO! Go park forest middle school!

    Man, I can't believe I missed out - I wish I did this :'(

    Still in State College :)

  • same

  • wow my director would kik me out of orchestra if i plysed like this

  • wow... way out of tune and tempo.. my director would kill us if we played like that... then again i'm in a select orchestra

  • too weak it needs some vabratto

    my school played this song and we did great

  • out of tune, i played this and undertempo

  • that was okay. But if we played like that at a concert or even a week before the concert, our director would probably walk off stage. There was this part where you weren't together. But the rest was good. You need to add more energy when you play and some of your postures are horrid. The concert master was good though.

  • eh...

  • 0:15... nice bonse :P

  • got that is some.......well.......junk! so freaking out of tune!!! god if our band/orchestra ever played like that our director would throw his baton at us on purpose (he's done it on accident already)

  • This is the same arrangement we play, only it's not only string instruments.

  • this is a concert? if my class played like that at concert my teacher would would have thrown shose at us AND HE HAS oah well what can i say im in 8th grade keep up the work and youl be doing amaizing in a year or two

  • this is the EXACT arrang. we play

  • That was really good i enjoyed it!

  • Also, the posture wasn't that bad. People are exaggerating. Compared to some musicians today it wasn't bad especially for a middle school.

  • Concertmaster is an exception violinist.

    Anyways umm your cells were lacking and it could have gone faster but good job :D

  • It takes a lot of work to master the fiddle, so keep it up.

  • it sounded like the came in a little late at :30 and it didnt sound together 2:30-2:50... but good for MS... when i was in MS i only had at most 8 ppl in my orchestra

  • could have a bit better position....its kewl thoughh good job!! and it wud sound better a bit faster butttt thats youu !! soo basically i give it 3.9 stars...=)

  • our middle school played this too! except a different arrangement.

    good job! (:

    except, try to work on posture ^-^

  • watch your intonation

    violins are a little screechy in it

    the violas sound pretty good

    cellos too

    watch your posture.

  • ssome bad posion

  • Woah, you're violins are like REALLY loud, and there are some times where it is the cello part and you can rarely hear it, so work on that.

  • That is how the director wanted it I am sure.

    Also, I have noticed that your director really challenges you guys. That can be a good thing or a bad thing but in this case it was good.

    BAD POSTURE!

  • well deffinatly work on your posture. that helps intonation. and really good vibrato. other than that it was pretty good. pick of the tempo a lil

  • i agree the posture is bad, and also its played a bit slow

  • omg the postures are so bad haha

  • I think you did a nice job, although the person with the cam was making my dizzy, people didn't look so great with posture. My 6th strings grade is working on this song for fun we also did Harry Potters Theme. It was nice just a few things to work on though :]

  • my class is playing this now(we're in the 8th grade)and i have to say,Park Forest MS orchestra needs work.there is one really complex part in the violin 2 music and you couldn't even hear.also they need to work on dynamics.

  • Chapparal Middle School is a bot better. Some peoples postures were pretty bad.

  • other conductors like the set up the orchestra differently according to the pieces.

    here, they wanted to bring out the violins.

    so the first violins where on the left,

    and the second violins were sitting where the chellos usually sit. lol.

    i know cause my orchestra teacher did the same thing after we went to go watch the national symphony rehearse.

  • i;m playing this right now at my school

    we just sight read it today.I would agree with ilyKelseyBabee about the posture, my teacher is very strict about it too. btw why are the cello's in the middle?! that doesn't make any sense.

  • this is really good! but sadly i have to say that some people i saw in the video have really bad posture.

    this is myy 4th or 5th year playing the violin myself..&& myy orchestra teacher has always been on our back on having good posture..

    other than that..i think that this piece was played really well. =]]

  • most of the seconds and violas have bad posture

  • o.o were playing this song right now at my skool ^^

  • it is always better to hear it in person. when its recorded with a digital camera it sort of makes the sound fuzzy.

    but i like it a lot

  • Measure 77 and 93 for Violin 1 <3. Love this song. Played it many times. Very good job.

  • ha. redwood middle school rly beats this. this makes me feel bored.

  • do you mean redwood from napa, ca?

  • they need to work on their dynamics like on "blood ritual" thats piano, and i like the seating arrangment but its too late to work on that piece they already played it in concert im assuming.......

  • My Middle School band's in big trouble... we're gonna die playing this song...

  • no you won't, trust me it got a lot easier the 100th or so time though it! Watch out measure 59! jk

  • you guys have done a very nice job, best i have heart by far! You guys do the song proud

  • Thx for all the comments and getting our vid up to 700+ views!!!!!

    - PFMS Orch.

  • YEAH. . .

    but it would have been better if you recorded the MNMS concert too. . .

    It was pretty cool. . .

    except the part where I tripped getting on the stage (but shhh)

  • beutifull my class brought me there to watch it too and it was nice

  • conductor had a wicked mustahce

  • yeah. . .

    Robinson's just cool that way!

    I have him too. . .

    except it's the MNMS school. . . not PFMS

  • sorta bad. sorry.

    first stand violins are pretty good.

    but everyone else's positions are terrible.

    cello's are the best ever.

    word.

  • ur positions all bad and the intonations not the best it could or should be.

    my strings class is better than this.

  • yur just jealouse a that this orchastras better then yurs it isnt this is better!

  • y would i be jealouse im just telling you what you could improve on.

    and you dont even know my orchestra so how could you say its better? is this high school middle school? oh and i like the vibrato its pretty good for your age.

    r u a violin, viola, chello, bass??

  • Hey guys in the orchestra, great job! We are playing this to and i say nice job working out the rhythm at measure 59. We had some trouble at that part. Also from measure 59 to the end, you guys need to slow it down a little. Keep practicing! Great job!

  • yeah. . .

    so did our school-MNMS. . .

    Robinson's the conductor for that too. . .

  • cool

  • Whoot! There I am!

  • some people need to use more bow

  • Hey I'm in this!! Go Robbie!!!

  • Your orchestra seemed pretty good.
