i know were not the best :-[
the song is good but you grp is off a little bit in a lot of parts and out of tune but this is coming from me and my orchestra won a national compentition and most of us thought we should have lost and this included high schools so we (a middle school orchestra )beat a lot of high school orchestra
But you had fun, right? Haha...my orchestra never got to play anything that cool.
i've always wanted to learn a strings instrument... some of the notes sound a little screechy, but overall its sounds decent, and playing in ensembles is much harder than solo... but im a piano player, not a strings player...
you should have seen what i played in 7th grade level3 piece and it was writen by our conductors bro

yeah we got nervous and the violin squeaked b/c well theyre violins
cellos messed up a lot but oh well
thanks for the comments!
Haha...squeaky violins...it happens...I have to admit that I'm too awesome to squeak (jk...but generally speaking...yeah.) I tried that Mario Bros. 3 part with the octave shifts...it's not that easy. I've just begun to sight read it though...dang...I give you guys props....you guys sound good for a middle school orchestra. You ensamble is bigger then mine in high school anyway. We have 5 violins (2 on 1st and 3 on second...I'm concert mistress). 2 violas, 2 cellos...and here's the funny part...6 basses...ugh.
THE MOST AWESOME PERFORMANCE EVER!! besides the time we did the halo theme. I don't think my orchestra can be that good but if we could play that, the 8th grade cello player would be so good at that solo considering the fact that he already knows how to play it by ear
@random_goldfish: WTF 6 basses? my ensemble has only 1 bass
Yes 6 basses...it was seven earlier on in the year too.
we have one thats going to high school
and the seventh grade one might quit and we have no begginner basses XD
thank you for the comments!
