the 2nd cellist in the front row smiling and just enjoying playing is making me miss orchestra so much.

It’s not middle school without Del Borgo. Great job!

Omg we have played 2 of his songs and honestly middle school wouldn't have felt full with out them!

you can tell that the first violinist in first chair enjoys what she’s doing, you can see her moving with the music. she’s definitely going places.

I wish I could tell you what videos she would be in next but I just don't know. This is from the spring of 2019. Most of these students would have gone on in the fall to the Concert Orchestra which is mostly 9th graders. Chamber Orchestra is mostly 10th, Sinfonia is mostly 11th, and Symphonic Strings/Symphony is mostly 12th. However sometimes accomplished performers skip ahead of that progression. The whole orchestra has over 300 musicians.

Ah.. watching this brings back memories

Good job! Although the Tempo is faster than what’s written in the piece, but overall, it’s amazing

[@lawson2398]

Yeah, I’m using it as my reference as this is my small ensemble piece for contest. However it is a little fast for me as a sixth grader
