The East Islip Middle School Spring Concert that took place on May 13, 2009 at the East Islip High School in Rydzeski Hall.

The East Islip Middle School Spring Concert performing "The Great Locomotive Chase" by Robert W. Smith

Conductor: Concetta Stevens

Camera: Me :)

This is my sister's concert (http://www.youtube.com/user/animals2929) and my cousin's (http://www.youtube.com/user/gameguy828) concert. I couldn't really get my sister, since she was buried (clarinet III), but i did get my cousin as much as possible (trombone).

Very nice :3 im in 7th grade now and im 1st chair/ section leader of clarinets and i has solo but my teacher made it 2 clarients then 1 :O! sadly my band has only! 2 flutes ): and 2 percusions and 1 trombone! Dx

P.S: To the people who are saying the better.....Please dont critize... they must of work very hard on this ): its not kind to say they did horrible i thought it was pretty good D: and it may be camera (no offense to your camera!...)

@tigergirl108 Yes, no matter what, an ordinary camcorder will always degrade sound quality...it's just what happens. And besides that, saying something was "horrible" and saying "do better" with no points as to what was "horrible" or what could "be better" is not going to help. Finally, someone who understands.

i played this my 8th grade year and we did way better.

Apparently, you have no idea what constructive criticism is.

@dvdcollector613

Yea, they probably work there butts off ! :x People should see the music sheet to this D:< once you people do they wont be saying such things!

[FrancesssBabieee]

I don't understand why people stay critizizing this video. I mean we all share the love of music so just get over it. I think the band did a great job. but to look more professional; Trumpets its prefered by many that you bring your horns up when you play. Raise your stand up a little bit so that your aiming your sound at youur conductor. Im a clarinetist myself & this is one of my favorite pieces, Ive been begging my band director to do this piece, he just doesn't budge. : )

[phelishevona]

were doing the same thing and we r wayy better! were in 7th grade!

Wow, I'm sorry a bunch of immature little kids commented on this video.

Anyway, here is some useful criticism from a Clarinet Soloist and section leader from the Old Orchard Beach Marching band.

Your band needs to find a balance when they play. Everyone sounded great except for the Clarinet section because they were drowned out. The 8th notes the clarinets have when the song gets fast is important to add to the feeling of the song. Other than that, pretty good!

[GreenCherryGecko]

It was good, but horn solo needed work.

I have to do this in my band. Cool song.
