Haha. I played Cartoon Symphony my 7th grade year. Twas a fun song. :3

[Palagerini]

lol me too... cartoon symphony is a cool song... the halo theme sounds great btw =D

[starpikachu]

Oh yay! People finally respond! Thank you for responding, Palagerini and iDOWN.

I think we performed Cartoon Symphony the best. On the Halo Theme, some people just had to rush, so it sounded off at times. I think the Music from Home Alone 2 is the worst because, 1. It was the first song we performed, and 2. Lots of people were playing at different tempos, so it's a big mess. Lol I just critiqued myself.

[The Mindzeye]

I played dorian rhapsody in 8th grade and it is definitely the third unknown in the advanced band spring concert list.

[starpikachu]

Ok thank you! I've updated.

cool corpse bride song! i'm a fan of tim burton's movies! it sounded great!
what insterment do u play?

[random_goldfish]

I listened to Palladio. Now, I don't know what grade your orchestra typically is so I'll keep it to a minimum I will compliment your ability to keep time...even though the tempo was taken a bit slow...anyway the thing you guys need to work on is intonation. Also, with this piece the articulation should have been more tact and more like a bite. Some areas were good and others were too long. Overall, I applaud your preformance...thanks for sharing these! I'd share my University's recordings but they're copy righted! Haha!

When I played this song I was the soloist...I think you guys all played the solo and took out the sextuplet runs...hehe, that's ok...but I didn't here the really cool part at the end, aw!
