[Cazzay16]

now this bit was going to fastt! its supposed to be slowerrr for thee trumpet solo. "/ trumpet solo could have been played better but well dones anywayss (:

[guatguy412]

pretty good. trumpet solo couldve been a little better, but whatever. everyone misses some notes

[sonata1992]

HA! Wow. That's a flashback. The principal cellist in this recording was my one and only cello teacher I've ever had :P

She's the daughter of the conductor, so I was at their house every week.

And the rialto theater...my theory class was an hour after rehearsals, so I'd go in during the rehearsals there and listen to the older groups play. How I miss that.

[droidean]

who, ashley?

[sonata1992]

Yes, Ashley Johnson. She was my cello teacher =)

[missingremote]

Very funny- I'm listening to this and watching the actual movie at the same time. Bravo kids, Bravo!

[tdaumit34]

Tacoma Youth Symphony was one of the best experiences of my life. These r some of the most talented kids in WA.

[biukucanoe]

@tdaumit34 wow, almost as good as Seattle Youth Symphony (no seriously, it sounds really really good)

[runeknight5]

good job.this is my favorite piece composed by Gershwin. me and my band are gonna play it in china this summer.damn that trumpet soloist is sooooo lucky, gets to play that awesome solo....

[ericpromusician]

they probably don't show the soloists when they play their solos because they make sour faces as they play out of tune

[droidean]

or it was a local not very good recording company.

[AmyWinehouse4433]

Great job

[romherz10]

simply extraordinary, congratulations, Gershwin always will be but the great one. I am happy for having found this. thanks

[jtfraijo]

someone should take the Camera man out behind the Concert hall and Shoot his ass for not showing us the trumpet player during the solo...

[sumthingfornuthing]

YAAA HAAHAHAHHA THATS SO TRUE.i hate that to seriousely....=/

[ThaSchwab]

You can't blame him. That camera was stationary. Blame the people who controlled which cameras were showing which players at certain times.

[Handyman120]

This is the best bit in the piece.

This lot did it WAY TOO FAST.

The trumpet solo was also really sharp.

[harmo105]

Great job guys!!!

check out the Chapman Symphony Orchestra playing Dvorak 8th on you tube!

Chapman University is a private 4 year university in Orange County, CA

The Chapman Conservatory of Music has on its faculty many of the top players from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Pacific Symphony.

[pianist12]

Why is everyone.... just....sitting there. No emotion is shown at all.

[gammaromeo]

cos they are american... and they are being forced to kill gershwin!

[pianist12]

In deed, way too fast.

[David61791]

TOO FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tronduh]

absolutely horrible, the kids look depressed and bored and/or scared?

[sonata1992]

Yeah, I never liked that there either.

It seems to be the same with a lot of youth symphonies. After I moved to a different area, I decided not to rejoin my youth symphony when the manager told me she nearly didn't want me to play because I drew to much attention moving about during dance music. I was just having fun playing :P

[KrazyKid15937]

I luv this bit!!THE Best
