YTSO Day 2-3: Behind the Scenes!

[Ihateanimekids]

Really, Ben? Talking for a stuffed bear? NICE!

[AYATAY]

bahahah the dude thing was funnyXD

[chrisXDfull]

lol what happened to ur eyebrow

[ForestsRequiem]

Hooray for Violas! I hope that I can do something like YTSO someday, but since I haven't even been playing for a year yet, it won't be too soon...

[jasjot12]

you look pale

[20BlueJay09]

I was just wondering what are the contents of the 120GB YTSO portable HDD?

[BenChanViolin]

Not sure what you mean about "contents," but it has some built-in installable functions like auto-backup and secure encryption. A very handy little device, indeed!

[20BlueJay09]

I was expecting some youtube "stuff" of some sort or YTSO-related music that you need to listen to, etc... So you mean the disk is just blank?

[KirioGameNote]

Do you know who's first chair?

[BenChanViolin]

There were a few who rotated, among them Titus Flueraz, Manuel, Hanah Stuart, Jacqueline Morant, and David France.

[KirioGameNote]

Hey! I play viola too! I started at the beginning of 6th grade and in the 2nd semester (Presently, yeah, wow) I am fourth chair in advanced.

[KirioGameNote]

Are you sure it was smaller than your palm? I think it's smaller than your HAND imo.

[xshadowcrafterx]

omg what camera did u use, the quality is phenomenal

[alexoftennis]

Inspiron 6000 Laptop!

[XxDarkkstarrxX]

3:00 AM?? Whoa, I'd die from sleep deprivation if I did that...

[horseman9976]

hey, do you have to read sheet music to be able to even try out for that?(just in case it ever happens again)

[wakizashi333]

I've been in that room that they were in for the last part of the video. Leonard Botstien sometimes gives pre-concert lectures in there before an American Symphony Orchestra performance. Reply if you know what I'm talking about!

[USAF0314]

um... what happen to your eyebrow.... the left one...

[plldp]

It's a scar which he explains in his video "Tagged - 5 Random Facts about Ben Chan".

[ellerylatino]

lmao you look like an idiot ben

[lifesaver011]

I bet that must have been an amazing experience

[Ziggy1614]

Whos concert master?????

[tarainalaska000]

David Garrett goes to that school! you should comment me back if you see him! he is so amazing!

[MyMemories19]

O, 1st violin last chair? Why is that?

[MyMemories19]

What chair are you? You make references to it, but you don't state it.

You have an adorable personality. =P

[tarainalaska000]

im pretty sure he is 10th chair 1st violin.

[MyMemories19]

Yeah, I realized that after seeing the real performance. Apparently, during rehearsal, the rest of the first violins were moved to the side since there was no room.

Anyway, what did you think of the YouTube performance?

[treeloop98]

thats a really nice hard drive. i wanna be part of the symphony

[rockon4789]

[meganmozart]

[lilpao]

[ZeroDX]

You are really funny... xDD;

[galstafferoc]

Lol. The gossips, the whispers and the waves remind me of my seventh grade orchestra. I guess people don't change much...

[edwardelric4321]

wow your funny

[treeloop98]

never knew there was gossip during rehearsal

[DemonicVince01]

what size violin do you play i play a full 4/4 i love the way you can change the style of your playing

[Jaesango]

usually anyone over the age of 11 or 12 begin playing 4/4

[chikensouplov3er]

That rehearsal looks just like my rehearsal with my honor's orchestra :O

[alicelizard]

[sealingTIE]

[SCSQ4]

What an exciting time you had on your second and third days of rehearsals! It was cool watching the conductor in action during one of your non-playing moments, from your very own perspective! I also enjoyed seeing more YouTube musicians in this video!

I especially liked the videos you took of Gil Shaham!

[sephsotiroth]

Looks fun, im nearly forced to learn to play a instrument so i can go there. never been to NY before. thanks for showing us!

[NelsonViolin]
