Exclusive: "Team Starkid" rehearsal, Leakycon 2011

Behind the scenes footage of "Team Starkid" rehearsing before their Leakycon 2011 performance in Orlando. Glee star Darren Criss is a founding member of this group known best for "A Very Potter Musical.

[@sammyelliott_]

I find it amusing that people think Darren was only involved in the two hp musicals. He wrote all the music for Starship and played guitar in Me and My Dick, as well as wrote a few of the songs for it. Also Starship makes fun of Glee at one point and it's fantastic because it was released when Darren was still a newbie on Glee and so was probably written not long after he found out he would be on the show.

[@KreuzVega]

Whenever I see Team Starkid together, I get this pain in my chest and I know it is all their fault, those bitches!

[@ruby6348]

Lauren Lopez is just my favourite person ever!

[@KreuzVega]

Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I had never chanced upon AVPM/S on the Internet all those years ago... *shudder* What a bleak existence.

[@XDmychemicalromance1]

It's ridiculous people quit watching starkid because Darren had to go do glee stuff I love starkid to bits and I watch glee because I love Darren if it wasn't for Darren I wouldve stopped watching glee a long time ago I've been very diassapointed with it . I also watch that horrid Disney show Jessie whenever Joey richter is on it because I love Joey

[@everlasting9292]

That group hug is by far my favorite Starkid moment EVER.

[@caitrionajohnston8574]

They are so freaking adorable!

[@mallygina]

Did you guys notice how Joe Moses is way out of time with the rest of them during the train-steppy part at around 0:28? He does it so awkwardly and it's adorable. Also, Nicky is amazing during Harry Freakin' Potter at 1:53 when he gets down on his knees and then jumps around. I love them all, they're so great!

[@mmolly13]

just cant stop looking and tylers teeth! they are wonderful

[@FunnyCrazii]

Um this is just a random comment you don't have to pay attention but THANK YOU a random friend told me about this musical A Very Potter Musical I though it would suck waited months and forgot about it then my friend left and I got bored so I looked it up I was instintly in love with them watched all off them all the way through so I'll get to the point STARKIDS RULE!

[@rigatonivodka]

Yup. Definitely just started crying when they all hugged Darren. AH SO MANY EMOTIONS

[@foreverkids]

Thank you for posting this - I was there, not just at Leaky but I was at that soundcheck as well, I was volunteering and was in there sorting the room out, eating cookies and trying not to pass out. I didn't wanna creep on them up the front during their soundcheck while I was working. Thank you for posting it so I can have it to remember.

[@Charlotte-uf2ti]

One dislike? Thanks Hermione.

[@shelbydont]

They're all so awesome. I like that during the hug Walker like gropes Moses' chest. XD Anyway, it's a great video.

[@thesunsgonewibbly]

LeakyCon was such an amazing experience! :D I had such a fantastic time. And their performance was brilliant, although we probably would have loved it no matter what....

[@Potterpiranha]

LAUREN. Im crying. i love you so much

[@ShlaTheGleeLover]

My favorite part was the group hug and darren is just feeling the love,huuuhhhhh,nothing like a group hug.I love starkid:-)

[@starkidrules1]

I really like how Brian Holden is rubbing Darrens hair during the hug. hahaha

[@MsArielRon]

I love that there is like LOUD music,and Darren is still playing the guitar..xD

[@endonpan]

My friends school did this play and I felt super bubbly when i was watching it.

[@DianaM2631]

oh my god that hug was possibly the best thing that's ever happened to me my creys ;_;

[@milograamans2]

I love being able to hear the harmonies. The audience drowned it out.

[@littlemissstarkid]

My emotions.....all the feelings!

[@XNancieRoseX]

Does anyone else just randomly find themselves saying 'aww my babies, I'm so proud' when they watch Starkid videos? No? Just me then . . .

[@WatchTheFunnyShow]

I want a starkid hug!

[@pointmetothemoon]

i love you, thank you so much for this

[@KingArthurFan]

LOL, don't worry friend. I was the same way. Everyone I knew was into AVPM, so I never watched it. And then I watched it a couple of months ago and instantly fell in love with each and every single one of them. But we're a united family, we Starkids are, so don't worry about being new.

[@pomandme]

i love lauren :) and everyone else

[@MiniTalkin11]

Brosenthal at 0:46 like "this is so fun guys"

[@begumsekercanyamak]

I want to have friends like them... They're like a big family

[@IAreGeorgia]

Bahahah Lauren's dancing at 0:50

[@loveyoutopluto]

[@InLoveWithMalfoy]

[@LittleMissLucky256]

[@Katrinioni]

I may need to find a choir room to cry in.

[@bored2deathdotcom]

[@CourtOnaga]

:49 by far the best part just saying.

[@Princessevans4798]

I wanna go to leakycon

[@NataliaScarpin]

That Lauren Lopez really makes me feel funny.

[@jessicanettinga6668]

i love to see them all doing the train thing during got to get back to hogwarts it makes me want to cry because after the two hp musicals darren went back to glee and didnt get to do anything again with them besides the tours so thats what makes me so up set.

[@sarahcatherine5497]

Joey.. dat jaw.

[@obsessesover4736]

and Darren doesnt have to be in the musicals for you to like them!!! people haven't watched Starship or HMB because of that!!

[@keikustar]

i love this??? lmao

[@cskinner87]

Love how the girls are dressed very girly even though 2 of them play boys (Draco and Crabb) 8^)

[@sophieashworth7332]

what? no. he did all the music with AJ for them...

[@obsessesover4736]

no 'James' you are saying 'Glee star' like he originated from glee, he originated from this group of wonderful people who gave us a musical that started a fandom of their own. just check the date of avpm compared to the date Darren appeared on glee and dont give me any of this "Fa-ake!!", "That's Not Blaine!!" or "What the @!#$ is avpm?" crap because i dont want to hear it!!!

[@sbergin15]

Joe Walker looked really awkward during that hug :)

[@briannadaisy7]

did someone say Josh Hutcherson? :D

[@simmcha1]

Joe's arm.....

[@MiniTalkin11]
