Dragonhunter by Richard Meyer - Carmel Middle School 6th Grade Orchestra

[@rice1298]

I bet half of the people watching this are looking for real life examples that aren’t played by experts for their next concert. I’m one of those people.

[@jifangzeng5615]

PaintedSiberian Husky that!d be nice, except I played this four years ago.... adv. orch is a pain but there even more better sounding music uwu

[@socks6953]

I’m in sixth grade and are next concert we’re playing this and I’m super excited about it. (Btw my KZbin account is old so thats why my acc is so cringe)

[@rice1298]

@@socks6953 I'm glad that you're excited!! I've continued with my instrument since my comment and the people that you meet playing are super nice and accepting, I hope that you continue. It's a worthwhile experience and I wouldn't trade the world. 😎✌️

[@socks6953]

@@rice1298 thank you so much! You a very nice stranger!

[@vz_aliyah]

Personally I don’t even really know the song I’m just watching it cause I’m bored

[@samthisam570]

Dats a big orchestra. The cool part is that there are so many people - and they can play together!

[@theballisticmelon3858]

It's even bigger this year!😄

[@jessestarr5851]

Sam Burrows It takes a lot of time,but thank you,I personally did play in this orchestra you see on screen before you and it's a journey am thankful for with many more years to come.6th grade orchestra was awesome and 7th I come to see is just the same.

[@theballisticmelon3858]

[@flufflepufflovespuff8312]

[@GlxwMain]

Same, this is the exact reason people are in orchestra.

[@milk-vp2ct]

That is SUCH a big orchestra! I played this in my orchestra and we only have 15 people 😂😂 Two cello, two voila and the rest violin. Great job on the dynamics by the way! it sounded great!

[@graceyulick]

Adina Younus how is there no Basses?

[@rebeccatorres3125]

Dat is one big orchestra woah it's so amazing how they all played so well together

[@SavMXS]

If you were ever in Middle School Orchestra this was the song everyone wanted to play. This sounded amazing~! ❣

[@jasminetran4861]

Dammmnnn. This orchestra is huge whereas mine is the smallest fine arts group in the school. This orchestra also handles dynamics and intonation so well! They're so together too! Awesome job 👏🏼

[@ghoularchives2405]

Yess we have 12 people in my orchestra smh there are like 20 in band tho...

[@buckygrid08]

This song is so beautiful! I'm so glad I get to play this at my next concert!

[@lifeoftata1446]

amazing orchestra! you are blessed to have a teacher like him. my son just played tonight. he is in 8th grade and yours is waaaaaay much better!!!!

[@cai_linxx]

I’m playing that song this year and I really look forward to do! Nice job with the dynamics and tone!

[@joelpowell]

Thanks so much! Your orchestra will be awesome! Wishing you all the best. ❤️

[@rachelperlman8355]

woohooooooo!!!! go dodge my daughter is in that concert playing the cello in the front!!!

[@liliboothe899]

That orchestra is big for sixth grade. When I was in sixth grade, we only had about 16 people in class. Two viola, six cello (me included) and the rest violin. The next year when we learned this song it dropped to like nine people in class. I can’t believe it’s such a big orchestra

[@ryannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

About to have a concert at a high school next Wednesday, and it’s nice to listen to Dragonhunter once in a while.

[@viickytea2933]

tempo is a bit slower than its supposed to be and piano waaay to soft, but otherwise sounds great with a HUGE orchestra staying together

[@bayleepaige8649]

Oh the tempo is like this. When you learn it they always teach slower.

[@bxnjiijusticeforukraine7972]

Yes it is quite slow-

[@starandlunalives9081]

Reminds me of me in the future in playing violin when I get to high school. Beautiful!!!

[@emmalinemalfoy4639]

Im so excited to play this at my concert in may! as a violin 1

[@joelpowell]

Best wishes for a great performance!

[@birb2197]

I wish our orchestra was this full

[@_.losver._7989]

This song is muscle memory for me I love it so much idk but as a viola it was just so fun to play and they did great!

[@luvv.sofiii]

[@joelpowell]

Very cool! You and your orchestra will be awesome! Best wishes!

[@kazmeenmoolchan4880]

[@GeckoBass]

Wow this is 6th grade, they sound like 7th or 8th graders amazing playing. They sound so much better than the 6th grade orchestra I’m in😅

[@idkwhattoputhere5503]

Hello! :) My name is Terry Shade and I am the author of String Basics, a method published by Neil. A. Kjos. My co-author and I, Jeremy Woolstenhulme, love coming across people who are involved in the orchestral community! Your group sounds INCREDIBLE! May I ask what method you are using to teach? Please feel free to check out String Basics...After, I would love to discuss what you thought!

[@cupcake-eu7ij]

Im playin this song too

[@laurenson7462]

I played this in my first year orchestra and I 3rd grade :)

[@amberlyh5977]

[@idkwhattoputhere5503]

[@ogxloserzvlogz4423]

Love it but the pitch is off during the pizzicato and coundn't hear my viola gang

[@plagueRat413]

Talented 6th graders

[@izzayfalls2168]

Pizz sounded really good and together in the middle there, a little soft at times but I liked this whole thing

[@noreineflora4168]

My teacher: "9h my gosh you guys! 6th grade orchestras should not be playing this right now! This is like 7th or 8th grade music! No other school can play this." The middle school dragonhunter orchestra videos I find:

[@taylorsulimowski6092]

That is a big orchestra.

[@medicolkie3606]

Welcome to Tamriel.

[@7hclxdz957]

wow theres so much people we only have 3 cellos (including me), 1 bass, 5 violas, the rest violins

[@Aguy0nearth]

In seventh grade I played this

[@Alex-bq3bn]

Most of these PEOPEL are showing other PEOPEL what it’s supposed to sound like “that’s me while I’m playing it soon:D”

[@DoggoPot]

Damn, I gotta learn this at school and I am in 6th, so... YOLO.

[@andiii6766]

One time I played this in my school orchestra and I messed up on the bowing and I was over her doing an up bow while they were doing a down boy 🤦‍♀️

[@joelpowell]

Totally hear you on that! Happens to all of us at some point. :-)

[@Ifartinmysleepacc2]

I love orchestra but my new school doesn’t have music🙃

[@helgijonsson8868]

THATS A SIXTH GRADE ORCHESTRA!?

[@danielagomez5004]

Thats a lot of people we literally only have like 3 double bass 5 cellos 2 violas and the rest violins😭

[@joelpowell]

That’s ok! Music is music! Stick with it and keep playing always! ❤️

[@alexhammel2374]

I go to performing arts school and we don't even have that many kids in instrumentals with 6th and 7th grade😂

[@coconut2380]

[@Flamedacat]

[@dominasian6947]

Bruh I'm learning this in 8th grade and other people are learning it in 6th or 5th );

[@joelpowell]

Nothing wrong with that! It’s a great piece. ❤️

[@faithcanmovemountains759]

very good but the pizzicato should be louder

[@codedinvictus2945]

I don't think this is a 6th grade orchestra

[@ixperium.]

[@benjaminsambol]

[@andrewvillanueva953]

I am in orchestra and it is easy

[@misspiggy6667]

Tbh our orchestra is bigger

[@imanilaird3028]

Not to be rude or anything but we played this in 5th grade and much faster but all in all this was great :)

[@imaginedyingtome184]

My director told us to space the notes out to make it sound more interesting and more like a dragon hunt , but I like the legato.

[@maricarmenferreira2991]

Beautiful! Well done students and conductor. Well done! ❤️

[@-Luhvv_.]

Currently learning this song as a 6th grader, my concert is in 11 days, and I’m playing as first violin 😍((We’re not ready)) the hardest part is definitely the pizzicato part. It’s such a fast part, and my friends definitely speed up doing it as well and have trouble with the dynamics. And once we jump back from the coda, we speed up as well. And I’m sitting there trying to keep up lol
