@Katlyn328 Katlyn!!!!!



[KevinTheNoobie]

I only wish the room resonated more. But bravo!!

[akasandunguera]

I don't care who owns the rights we all know videogame music belongs to the fans. Everyone else comes second

[darkwingppk]

Whew....thought they were going to fly apart there for a second...ouch.

[gildo4realdo]

I tell you what, you call Microsoft and tell them that they don't own the music in the game they bought all the rights to and marketed which includes the music and let me know how that goes.

[PopRocksV]

Wow... This was soo amazing I HAD to favorite this. Too good!!!

[xxnigerxx]

Goosefuckingbumps.

[AgapeHaloful]

I am going to that school

[Runecraper1]

i bow to the masters of the band playing halo's theme!!!!

[HighVoltage135]

son am proud

[gayhorseseathaaay]

i heard the clarinets missing some notes at 1:20 ish

[TheToys22]

Wow this is incredible.

[darkhalo1111]

LOLOLOL

[RipelzMx]

MY BAND DOES NOT UNDERSTANDS THIS SONG!! IS FKING NICE , and they say this >.< ... well , i quit the band .. :P

[fgt73]

7 people are COD noobs

[McDiddy99]

7 people play gears of war.

[fgt73]

@McDiddy99 I play that, Its cool, not as much as halo, but better than COD.

[caitlinhrt]

way too fast listened to the origanal soundtrack and it was way slower. seriously. too fast tempo

[McDiddy99]

@caitlinhrt It sounds great the way it is. You try putting together such a big composition between 2 musical groups. Have some sympathy for a high school.

[marinedude10]

For a high school band, and for playing such a complicated piece, good job! A little rough in spots, but that's understandable.

Good job guys.

[Nadia2015]

thats so cool

[jarico545]

BALLS.. lol

[17aKaT]

moar percussion pl0x... lol 117 comments before mine

[Furball567]

@17aKaT 117!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BOO-YAAAAAA!!!!

[Magicredmonkey]

We do this as a warm up piece at this highschool. :D

[Recon29492]

@Magicredmonkey where did u get the music

[potato11teen]

i wish we could do this a DHIGH. The chorus in there was real good.

[mynameisjonas45]

@potato11teen I can see why you'd say that, considering your name's potato.

[Kingdom007Hearts]

i wonder if this was the teacher's choice or did his student con the teacher into it?

great job all around

[cheskalikewoah16]

@Kingdom007Hearts it was the band director's idea. pretty cool huh?

[AgapeHaloful]

im going to that high school

[Magicredmonkey]

@AgapeHaloful I'll cya there. :D

[mastuhgee123]

All i have to say is that you should've included the orchestra as well. Band's are great and I was in band but this piece needs the orchestra. without them this piece has only half the potential. However I will say that this was very nicely done for a high school band. some balance issues here and there. Also the soloist idea was cute but wrong. need more of the lower range in the voices. also some spots where tuning was absolutely wretched.

[iCommentR]

Epic :] Strong voices...great notes...epic composing o.o....Makes you wanna pull out a Grenade and an Assault Rifle and shoot me some Covenant :) To bad this is rl...TO THE PC!!

[TheAmazingQuickScope]

You guys should be playing on a stage

Not in a gym

Gym's are disrespecting Classical music

[spots3445]

@TheAmazingQuickScope Before they redid our school, this was the biggest place there was to perform. The theater's stage wasn't big enough plus it couldn't seat many people. Sorry the state doesnt give us money to redo a lot of our other elective rooms.

[TheAmazingQuickScope]

Very moving Piece of Music

[MrTableturns]

this takes u back to halo 2...

[leonardbullhock]

Its took a video game to get younger people to appreciate what music really is all about. BUT, its a start.

[Jonny911c]

@leonardbullhock nah real music is what people want it to be, i like this but i also like black eyed peas and linkin park. its just what people enjoy

[leonardbullhock]

@Jonny911c fair enough, I like pulley and soad. :)

[Jonny911c]

ive got goose bumps, never heard this live before and its awsome nice work everyone whos in this

[Magicredmonkey]

This band is awesome. I would know because I'm in it. :D

[AdolfoMendoza300]

ive bet microsoft never heard of from the EAR

[LVStud71]

You know you made it in the pop culture when H.S. band picks your song to do.

Good job.

[1995alanis]

we are doing this for our highschool band this year :) and we got the sheet music for it. .but y'all did good...kinda gave me an idea about how we its all going to come together...except our school is too small for a choir so we have to do the singing xD wish us luckk

[Darkdragon8707]

woot

[teej116]

This is freaking amazing. I could nitpick at the tuning issues and the flatness of the choir, but the sheer power of the arrangement and the energy the band puts into it make it all irrelevant.

You would do the world a great service by telling us how we might acquire the sheet music, even if you can't give it out directly.

[mobeus5019]

One of the only things I was proud about Hazel Green High. Our band was the best and could never be beat.

[stratgeek09]

This is a pretty good arrangement although, being a music student for over 8 years I must point at that the woodwinds are very sloppy and there are tuning issues throughout the piece, other than that its great and beginning male vocal part was brilliant!

[100davidrules]

like the best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AubreyMonster]

GAAAAAHHH

I once asked my choir director if we could do this exact thing, and he was like "Ehhh we'd need an orchestra and blaaaah"

THEEEEEY DID IT!! D: Not fair. I'm saaaad.

This is awesome, man... High five.

[Aaro4LM]

The best halo music arrangement I've heard and great playing!

[bigxhulk]

@Aaro4LM i agree aaron... this one actually sounds good comparing to the other ones

[redsors]

This is the ONLY video I can find on here where a band actually plays the ACTUAL Halo Theme song...KUDOS to you ALL!! All the others play the panzified 'Video Games Live' version of it, and it sounds like a big mass of terd. I love this video, and the band that performed it, good job, and keep it up.

[UrbanValkyrie]

My school band always sucked. They could only play three notes... at the same time.

This makes me envious, and I am in awe. You are quite lucky to be in that school.

[JackMLopez]

@UrbanValkyrie oh you mean a chord?

[xLollipop29]

Majikal ;')

[thedavidhumping]

10000000000000000 gamerscore!

[SWHardstyle]

damn thi school is so lucky when i made an arrangement for our school to play they told me no... i was even trying to get the rights so that we wouldnt get in trouble but they still said no... This school is just pure WIN

[TheBackfiringVirus]

except for a few bits and pieces you guys really did sound like the halo songs, especially round the last song

[Lordgeek4]

I loved it but what happened to violins being the majority of the instruments in the song?

[redsors]

@Lordgeek4 Come on now, you know high school bands don't have violins. Maybe High School orchestras...but not HS bands.

[gonadcancervictim]

@Lordgeek4 violins being very expensive and this not school not being located in a spoiled brat neighborhood happened I bet

[Lordgeek4]

@gonadcancervictim Really? Oh, My School Orchestra got most of its Violins secondhand over the years, and they've just been taken care of.

[ilovebrawlandpie]

LUCKY if my band director wasn't a fag we could play this... GREAT job on the precussion that sounds great u should try covenant dance (halo 1) for a percussion ensamble

[thaijedi]

Do you know where I can get the sheet music for both the choir and the orchestra? Thanks! You guys are great!

[Paiotay]

@thaijedi I don't know, but if you find out please let me know, I want to see if our Choir can do this. We just tackled Va Pensiero, so this should be alot easier haha. We also qualified for state with Va Pensiero as well as two Requiem songs and Ah! Si mon moine Voulait Danser!

[haloslayer9019]

Beast mode [ON] OFF

Beast Mode Activated

TIME TO DOMINATE!

Great Job guys!

[ItachiUchiha2010]

Who arranged this?

[ThatOneLittlePerson]

4:41 EPIC :D Leonidas is my favorite :D

[smithpwn]

hey i live near that school district!! go MCHS =D

[djm5222]

Yeahh... I think if you combined this with Orchestra it would be amazing... I loved playing this in Orchestra

[Tbowen1231]

That's incredible

[metalmusic1995]

that was weel done damn good job i was really suprised of the talent and quality im in highschool and in the band and that really impressed me :)

[noblephatazz]

all of you who hate this can f... off

[dax0597]

thats the best halo theme played yet

[ScubaxSusie]

Trojans! :D

go harper.

go band.

[clicknom]

It's best done with a full orchestra. I honestly think the trumpet just isn't fit for this song. Not the right sound. More tuba!!

[Runecraper1]

buetiful =')

[TheToys22]

@Runecraper1 ummmm you spelled beautiful wrong!

[FastLaneProductionz]

Hey do you know where i can buy this particular score? My High School Band and Choir are going to perform this and I really want this score. -Thank you!

[fanmegaman]

Its ok but I bet a catholic choir can do it better :)

[hardybroz101]

i think their great

[SniperJJS1369]

Should of had a rock band come in and play the Mjolnir mix. Sounds like they need some more practice though. In the end, keep the OST quality music to the pros.

[gildo4realdo]

The band director can not give out the sheet music because Microsoft owns the halo soundtrack (copyrighted).

[bassplayerts]

@gildo4realdo

would he be willing to tell us where he found this arrangement?

[heyyoulovely]

@bassplayerts I think the director made this arrangement

[MUCKADUC]

@heyyoulovely ... you're kidding right? this is one of the songs from the game Halo.

[heyyoulovely]

@bassplayerts I take that back. I don't want to say anything I don't know for positive

[Droideka133]

@gildo4realdo Not really , if a marching band can get it , so can a concert band , they really can't "Prohibit" the copy of the sheets , and really , it belongs to Martin O'Donnel and Michael Savatory , not Microsoft and 343 Pro Just saying :3.

[samyb1234]

It's great, only complaint is that it is a bit too fast.

Also, if you could can you please send me the sheet music if possible? PM me :)

[noejititito]

is fantastic

[Orkslayer]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheOhrenberger]

i have wanted to try to convince my band director to have us do this, combine orchestra, band, and choir in one and play halo.

[BattleFrag91]

Sweet, I did not know that our school did that. EPIC.

[ubican450]

as good as an orchestra >=D

[m4owns987]

im going to ask my band director if we can do this for next years concert

=P

[DrNo919]

See, this is how a high school band should sound! Nice sticking to the pyramid guys.

10/10

[xenonzx]

halo always have a sad sounding theme song.. lol, first its all cool like it pumps you up, but then towards the end seems like someone died or the war is finally over

[m4owns987]

its kind of like the song is through out the entire battle from the begging to the end when they win and its all over

[xenonzx]

yea, like when it has the sad sort of ending at the end of the game you just cant wait for the next game,lol, i want to see spartan 117's FACE!!

[PandaEffect]

oooo that is nice! good job

[blondbabe1305]

out director arranged it himself :)

[bassplayerts]

can your director contact Las Vegas Academy of preforming arts we would like to also make an arrangement that is the same or simillar for our music program

[bassplayerts]

Will you please have your instructor post where he got the material. my school would love to be able to play it we just do not know where it is available. thank you

[NemesisRE3]

0:48 flutes came out of nowhere

[Hylikus]

too fast

[Reflex117]

that was awesome but what happened at 8:52?

[fingerskater0119]

hey ,

do have the notes for the trumpet because i have been looking everywhere the notes

[Sayalover168]

no offence but the clarinets/oboes at about 2:00 mins sound pretty bad

[rjesps2224]

Can you tell me the name of the Chart that the music came from? I would like to perform this with my Highschool band

[maxerdo]

Our band director, Patrick Harper arranged this music.

[jedicrap118]

Please, please, please...

Where did your ensemble get the sheet music to these pieces?? I've been dying to get our orchestra to play Halo, because we have the ability. All we need is the music.

[Calleygh]

This is very good but when they play they forget P and F

They play to load some times and some times not they have to remember all of this things:

FF PP MP MF

I know that they can pley PP (Piano)

and mp (messo piano) and so on:)

And a couple of wrong notes but they are a really good orchestra and that can i say without lying:)

Work with that and this wil just be even better!

[Twister051]

chills!!

[MuppetDesign]

This shit is absolutely awesome! Very well done! *FAVORITE*

[xAcexofxKings]

i want my skool to play this T.T

[narmguy]

that was fun....I had a speaker right behind my head.

[goofykid123]

epic.

[ashleylouann]

i see myself singing :]

i wanna do this again this year.

but with words this time ;)

[BLAKSP1D3R]

Awsome.

[xXSolonaviXx]

Absolutley epic. Way to be!

[Gazzydemon73]

nice lungs guys

[cheskalikewoah16]

dude.

i sang in this.

i was in the alto section!!!

<33

[hal02modder]

my only complaint is lack of guitar. Nice!

[aetherguy881]

Excellent! With some slightly better recording equipment and better accoustics this would be even better. Will reply at theopia about it.

[gildo4realdo]

Yeah... It's obvious all the other people with positive comments are wrong. Thanks for telling us where we went wrong.

[APinCF1224]

i gta say i didnt like it. the choir seemed outa tune. and the band needed to be bigger.

[Deklayn]

the choir was outta tune we got the music arragment like 3 days before we were to perform it the choir teacher was not very smart and did not allow us to have much time to learn the music and be able to play with the band before we performed lol

[321saskura]

I wish my middle school band was that good.

[Jimin4746]

awesome...epic..really..

[MaxLenox]

Awesome. This is the best halo theme that a high school band has played yet. Seriously.

[deadsexxydylan]

Great!

[namoraofabacus]

epic.

[rdnkgrl1992]

I loved going to hghs! I love you guys! Miss ya'll too!! Win next year too!!

[shinobilunchbox]

man i miss that place :D

[saurons00nazgul]

and i am just kidding. you guys rock. you were always better than the football team, and this should definately be incorporated into next year's field show.

[saurons00nazgul]

you guys are terrible. absolutely terrible. if i had a dollar for how horrible you actually were, i would have one dollar.

san dimas high school football rules!

[jaredmccoy]

I knew it was a joke when i saw the Bill and Ted reference

[Deklayn]

woot i feel proud to be in that choir singing!

[321saskura]

you should be :P

[jaredmccoy]

we rock. HGHS for the win

[sethadamlee]

thats whats up.

[michigan9109]

Proud to say I played that song!

[casualhex]

Just showed this to my step-son. He's forwarding it to his band director.

[glitch404]

i got to see it live (my bro recorded and uploaded this video) and it was insanely good. these kids and the director should be extremely proud.

[Edward19Dean]

Very awesome. Proud to say that I was a part of this band just a short time ago. :)

I know I'm jealous, and I don't even care for Halo.

[radagast1986]

totally. friggin. epic. every high school in the country should be jealous.
