UMGSO Fall 2011 Concert - Pokémedley

[Alexandria1812]

Where can I get the sheet music, for this? :O

[ryuuthebandgeek]

do they seriously need lyric books wow i memorized the theme by heart when i was 4

[wongwtdan]

The one conducting looks like Adele...

[YaoiForeverSasuxNaru]

...Okay... I can die happy now....XD I grew up on all this. And you know what? Screw you all who keep saying the band is bad for playing non-classical (I cant say anything about their skills, since I haven't really studied much in music, but to me, they are MUCH better than the local college's band), if they wanted to break away from the norm, they are allowed to. And you know what, I'm glad they did. I've had a bad day, and finding this made me have a real smile for the first time in a year.

[Videodark13]

Imperfect, but done with a lot of heart!

[supafidoxD]

why cant my school play this stuff?? like really -___________- 

[dZombieToast]

yeah, it would have sounded much better with from proffesionals, but i thought they did pretty good anyway!

[ShadowxVincent]

Dude.... so many negative comments. Can't people realize that they're not perfect and that they're doing it for fun because they enjoy music and video games? This is extracurricular, not a world class symphony and I honestly think they did awesome.

[Vetuyasha]

Epic!

[spiker2j]

My band nd I wuda totally rocked this piece!!

[Grindxors143]

Not bad. But those singers need some help

[Luxiebabee]

I was able to play better than this when I was 14. Intonation needs work, but this was enjoyable. :)

[IzzyLovesRock]

Manly tears were shed. I wish I had been there, that shit wouldve been epic.

[Nightcat99]

I swear one from the brass section was out of tune. And I agree with mewmieux on the strings, vocals and drum.

[Rifriggindiculous]

This is a UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA? I would have said high school. Not even good high school. Please focus more on the fundamentals of good playing than by amusing people with arrangements of non-classical music.

[Pulzar]

@Rifriggindiculous I agree. I tried having fun once, didn't care much for it.

[ProfessorxSpecter]

@Rifriggindiculous Supposing then that they were amusing people with classical music, then what?

Perhaps you have not heard many high school orchestras recently [or maybe the ones you have heard are worse off by comparison]? Magruder GSO is a high school orchestra doing the same sort of musics, why not give them a listen~?

[startrekrob]

@Rifriggindiculous Kind of a misnomer. Most of the members go to UMD, but the ensemble operates as an extracurricular club.

[CitrusWebkinz]

Next song: Portal-Still Alive xD

[Kid4Poke]

old times in pokemon yellow ;D

[FluffyNanuk]

hey this is posted on my bday! 8D

[SlashtheHedgehog7]

can someone get me this arrangement? my school's band must play this!!!!

[fireball111121]

They needed a bit of practice... and I was really hoping for some of the more iconic route themes and the pokecenter theme... this was just a battle medley....

[ProfessorxSpecter]

@fireball111121 All of the arrangements are done in-house, but suggestions are always welcome. If you're a composer, you should contact them and get your music out; they love new stuff.

[andremus3]

O.O

[UnrealLotus]

3 person had no chilhood.

[Rhap5odyy]

this constantly gives me goosebumps!

[thens1563]

Fuckin' awesome.

[SuperMisaMisaAmane]

okay, thats it.where's my gameboy? i have some serious pokegaming to do.

[InBleak]

oh my gawd, i cried.

[KenChanCake]

Dear God,

Can heaven be either the Kanto or Johto region please?

[PowermetalCoffe]

The drummer sucks XD

[SlashtheHedgehog7]

@PowermetalCoffe yeah, i heard it too. i don't play the drums and i could do better.

[Scorpion03001]

yeah im gonna go find my red and play it now

[todalyweirdgirl]

MY ORCHESTRA, Y U NO THIS EPIC?!?

[hiimbilleh]

i never realized how epic my childhood was. im 19 still playing pokemon. but black and white? naa i need blue and red back

[bunnyfist]

MARYLAND?

Oh snap, Just found my dream college.

[ProfessorxSpecter]

@bunnyfist JOIN THEM~! Requirements: Being AWESOME!

[CCMthemusicman]

Those trumpets... dear lord... (I'm a trumpet player, being critical here). Also, the orchestration of the piece needs work (I'm a composer as well). But apparently the general public doesn't catch this stuff.

[colorguarddrummajor]

@CCMthemusicman I'm with you on this one. I'm a choral conducting major at my university and that choir made me flinch. I agree on the orchestration being in need of work as well.

[ProfessorxSpecter]

@CCMthemusicman Well, I bet it's not that they don't catch things, just that said things are selectively turned away from.

By the way, if you're a composer, and have arranged and video game medleys or themes, you should contact to them to get your music out there and played.

[Blizzardstar129]

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN :D

[PopcornNinjapwn]

REMARKABLE! Like this comment if you remember that dumb Pokemon contest judge!

[khfanXD]

take THIS pokemon trollers!



[manthatlikeschicken]

Satoshi tajiri approved

[onekilliondollars]

and thus was my childhood.

[DeadpanMusic]

1 person couldn't catch them all.

[craizy007]

A little nostagia would've been awesome :D like "Route 1" music :P

[Silveriix]

>Kanto theme from B/W

Holy shit. I wasn't expecting this. Good job!

[ZoruaVulpix]

EPIC



[ZoruaVulpix]

i used to be bored at orchestras....

I BLEW UP WHEN I SAW THIS!

Now i love orchestras!!

all i could say is AWESOME

[EmmaSenshi]

If only the in-game music was made like this! Pure awesomeness!

[manthatlikeschicken]

It's beautiful

[Internalvelocity77]

hmmmm one dislike...... must be a wild troll =D

[etymosfalcon]

the most awesome medley i have heard of pokemon untill now!!!

[winterbells55]

*barfs rainbows* OMMMGGGG 8DDD

soooo jealousssss

[TheAltoSuperior]

I think I just came a Hyper Beam.

[yousufm88]

kids today will never know........

why Pikachu is always out of his pokeball

[HattoSora]

no dislikes yet. whoever does has no heart.

[cobaltninjas]

Totally a favourite!!!

[yoyong1995]

Whoever found the time to write and compose this cover rivals the might of Arceus itself.

[bilius19282]

This needs more of the 8 bit music... Where's Lavender Town's theme when you need it?!

[milner132]

If I had money. I would pay them to play while I played Pokémon.

[Diouristorys]

i can hear the narrator now.. *_*

[spa9876]

concept A+

execution F

this is embarrassing for a university level music program

[CTL]

@spa9876 Except it's not a music program.

[bananabop21]

@spa9876 yea it's just a student group that aren't necessarily music majors but do love video game music :) they've actually improved an impressive amount since they started a few years ago xP go terps!

[Videodark13]

@bananabop21 There are less than 5 music majors in the group, one of which is the conductress.

[Videodark13]

@spa9876 This is not university music program. It's a student run organization with no formal ties to the school of music.

[mewmieux]

i give this a 6/10, mostly the strings making it sick. vocals and horns could use some work and the drummer should honestly be embarrassed at 3:40...

[SigiL2]

@mewmieux Not really drummer's fault. Strings were one beat ahead.

[zabakkabou]

EPIC EPIC EPIC OMGGGG

[kmanrockz]

Wow that was epic, pokemon <3

[smileyowner]

To be honest, I think at some parts it was CLEARLY way off. The people in this band clearly never played pokemon themselves, they would have noticed the missing notes that are absolutely crucial to make it sound perfectly alike the original. Still, the best parts are perfectly synced so kudo's anyway :3

[CTL]

@smileyowner An arrangement does not have to be a perfect copy of its original source. That defeats the purpose of arranging.

[SirDenn]

This will go perfect while doing a pidgey play through.

[asianboywonder2312]

Somewhat flat and disjointed at parts, especially among the strings, but I will say well done when i get out of the nostalgia trip.

Now I need to finish my Super Mario Galaxy Medley for my high school symphony.

[Videodark13]

@asianboywonder2312 If your high school ever wants to borrow one of our pieces (or start a GSO), contact us! Use the link in the video description to get to our website, and use the e-mail address in the "Contact" section.

[KimiKorn]

OMG! Is there ANY way I can get a copy of the score?

[asianboywonder2312]

Well, at least I'm doing a Super Mario Galaxy so i won't have to compete with them.

[startrekrob]

@asianboywonder2312 They did "Gusty Garden Galaxy" a few semesters ago.

[jordanstachura]

your timpani sounds a little flat at times

[SLgeetar]

I couldn't help but feel like some of those brass instruments were off =|. Am I wrong?

[flame10240]

Crying from epicness :'(

[pollosaurio777]

sceptile used leaf blade

[RGAnakleto04]

I'm just crying :')

[aaps1995]

Sweet



[SparkingWonders]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

[lollypopdude]

Ear candy all the way!

[bkaro]

This is perfect! ♥

[tehbigman]

A wild Zubat appears.

[Silhouette3441]

This is the best band, like no band ever was.

[theunderminor14]

@Silhouette3441 it's not a band, it's an orchestra....

[KyoyaVasquez]

@Silhouette3441 It's orchestra not band.

[CamWard94]

This is amazing !!! I love life ! <3

[Arabfanet]

This defines how epic a Pokémon battle can be! <3

[PizzaWormLight]

Is it weird that I know all tunes? :D

[fossfass]

@PizzaWormLight

No, not at all :D

[samfoxy234]

@PizzaWormLight Not at all, fellow pokemon master ;)

[kodocha4ever09]

@PizzaWormLight nope. XD

[ProfessorxSpecter]

@PizzaWormLight Truly, you are a master then!

[PlasticCallum]

I used to be a prick, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Oh wait.

[samfoxy234]

@PlasticCallum I thought you got your kneecaps broken by a wrench? Specifically THIS wrench. By a baby panda.

[xmmeex]

Me gusta tambien

[kingofmanga93]

This makes me want to get my old game back out and start playing again. X-)

[t17389z]

Me Gusta
