People are nuts... this is fantastic considering it's a high school group. Of course there are issues, but wow... I am impressed.

Good job!

Sigh. It's not that they're a bad chamber orchestra. But Shostakovich...and especially the second movement of his eighth quartet...should really only be performed by string quartets. For the sake of clarity, precision, and balance.
