While you listen I want you to think about this...These are kids our age! Now tell me what you think of their performance. Remember a comment of "it was good" doesn't count. You have to describe what you are talking about and most importantly be specific!!

I cannot believe they're our age!
Oliver V.
I was amazed that these were kids my own age. They sounded like a professional orchestra.
Bennett E.
Wow. That was amazing. This piece was very good. it was very up beat and happy sounding. I cant believe that they could keep the same tempo the entire beginning, it was really fast.
Eric Rogers
they must've been praticing a lot and i can see that they can crescendo really good. They also played on the beat and i saw one girl look at the conductor. So they must've been practicing long that's why they sound really good.
The song went pretty fast and those kids our age played excellent. They followed the dynamics correctly
Zach R.
Wow! Their performance was spectacular! In both songs I really enjoyed the dynamic changes. They must practice a lot to be that good for their age...
-Mark G
The song reminded me of a pirate movie. The beginning was very mysterious sounding. But, after the "moment of silence", the song sounded more like a celebration. The dynamics and tempo changes made the song feel like a story. They made me want to find out what was going to happen next. Overall, I was very impressed:)
--Shanell
The band obviously has practiced together and have worked very hard. The instruments were all in tune. The brass section was very powerful and crisp. They used many crescendos. Best of all they are playing music and not just playing notes.
Jake K
This group of kids were very good. I couldn't even imagine a band our age playing that well. You could hear each individual note in the begining and they obviously listen to each other. They play together and never get any faster. You can also hear the melodies always because they dont drown out each other; they must be using the triangle correctly. :]
-Brittany
They are very good considaring there age. They must pratcie alot every week.
-Brennan
I think they played marvelously I dont think that I could have played like that.
-Niariah W
The band played very well . It sounded like they've played together for a while and that they practiced a lot. They played very professionaly.
it thought that they came in on time and that it sounded like they were counting good so they can sound good while they were playing .so thats what i thought about it.
They have good crescendo while moving fast. They were able to go from a allegro to a smooth and steady tempo. They have a good triangle balanced sound, and you are able to hear every insterment that is playing. When they started to play the 2nd part of the music, you can tell that they were ALL on time (1st note). Also they have a vairity of instruments that are playing, so it sounds good. The lows also lead the whole crowed (like you told us)
--Pha, Ton-Hy And Mai Blia
They had good posture, which allowed them to play their instruments better. The quality of their playing didn't sound like they were our age. It was amazing. I hope that we can attain that level of perfection. The sound blended well together, there was no dominating group or instrument. The articulation was nice, the staccatos were right on time. Overall, great!
These students are really good. I can really hear that "Triangle" sound and hear every instrument in there position. I really liked how they played there crescendos. It gave the piece a more feel to the story that's being told in their song. Everyone was together throughout the whole piece. Also the dynamics/tempos/notes were really good.
--Norris V.
I really thonk those kids practiced alot, because they stayed together, kept the same tempo. they are really good for being as young as us!!
-Brihanna S.
Wow, that was crazy good. Your sure they aren't just really short adults Mr. T? I enjoyed both pieces, they moved fluently throughtout with no mistakes.
-- Sean P
I like this on better than the last one
Jacob B.
wow they stayed together and came in all at the right times. you could tell the practiced alot and watched the conductor for staying on beat and the right tempo.
Jessica L.
Knowing these kids are our age just makes it more unbelievable. All the sections were playing different parts and to put it together, and sound really good must have taken lots of practice time, they were really good ! :)
EmilyN
those kids where amazing. they sounded like a profshanol band. we need to step it up.
They are good for their age.
They sound professional.
Jerrell D.
Kidding right?
Seriously? These kids are our age?
I really enjoyed the beginning being fast and upbeat, then slowing down to a good melodic tune during the middle. Then it really was interesting when they started picking up the pace again.
Their crescendos and decrescendos were great. I could definitely feel
a balance of all of the instruments.
Most of the times no section was overpowering another. :D It was great!

The begining of the second half was very clean and crisp. It didn't sound like a mass of people hitting random things loud.
Jason, Percussion
this song reminded me of a dog chasing a cat i dont know why but yea....
-Mac
All the students play really well. The music has a good overall sound because they are playing together. Playing this well has to take a lot of practicing and rehearsal as a whole.
-Sam W.
Haha, sound like a song from a video game a little bit, very well done, you can tell that they practiced quite a bit (either that or their teacher pushed them harder than Mr. T does to us!)It's also amazing how well they stay together throughout the whole thing, it's just great.
-Jacob
i heard some good cresendos. they stayed together very well. these are some extremely talented kids. i really like the ending. its fast and the snare part's pretty cool. hey mr. terry, one of these listening assignments should be white rose.
Kyle Connoy
for one they practiced A LOT. it sounds fast paced and relaxing at the same time

If you wouldn't have told us their age; i would've thought they were adults. that was really really amazing. I feel like im not so good anymore :) I liked the beginning when they started together at such a fast tempo. I guess they all breathed together :)
-dylan m.
they sound very good. they stayed together and had a good tone
They performed the piece very well.
They stayed together all the way through the end of the piece. The piece went thruogh various changes in tempo and dynamics and they handled the changes very well.
-John E.
They did a really good job of doing stuff together. Not only did they play together, but they also brought up instruments together before they came in. They seem like more of a 11th grade band. They are really good. I think with a lot of practice we could be that good too.
-Nicole
I think that they practice a lot. it was faster than we usually play -tyler h.
pshh... we can do better than that =D its just that.... our conductor is very crappy ^_^ just kidding... but yeah i'd have to say that these kids are very good for being 13 14 yr olds. i liked their little decrescendo and crescendos. as well as the fact that they kept a well balanced "triangle" because no section really out powered the others. it was good :]
Richard
I like how the beginnging was so fast and like loud. I think the flute sounded very nice in this peice. I also liked the very end when it got all fast again after being sort of slow.
-Rachel K.
That was amazing.I can't they are our age!
Wow, I think we need more practice. They were really good.
+Michele Tait
Mr Terry i posted this comment before on time and it didnt show up. Is it late? Anyways I bet we could be just as good as this group, if we practice and work hard at it. Mark H.
they are very good for there age !you can tell that they practice alot
zachary
Well, first of all everyone knows their instrument very well. In the first song, the some specific melodies, such as the clarinets' part in the first few minutes have very repetitive rhythms. they manage to stay on course and keep a steady beat. For both songs they always play carefully and cautiously in the triangle. You can hear the melody that is needed heard. it all balances out.
always,
w e n d y
Omg. That was awesome! Especially considering the fact that they're only our age! =O *gasp*
~Abbie S.
I noticed that the flutes were very very good at playing high notes. Also, They had some very hard rythems and they played them well. They were great at changing their tempo.
-julia
They did FANTASIC for kids our age. They kept great time and there tempo was together. For people are age they sure have practiced a lot. Even though i already did this i listened again and i liked it a lot. And so did my family. it was super great.
~Leanza D
I think that their performance went great. they all stayed together throughout the piece. the transitions went very well as well. i heard no obvious flaws. for our age these kids must have practiced a lot and as a whole band. they all ended together.
Kyle C
Really?! They are our age? Huh, well that makes me feel better about my playing ability... :)
But, I was amazed at how well they did. They know the music well and I might add, the flues were extra great.:)
over-all I was greatly impressed by this.
siErra m. :)
their crescendo were both great they played good together. Their really goog for their age i can tell they enjoy what they do and practice alot!
Alyssa R.
I liked the tempo of this peice. I also liked the melodyand i can not forget the rythem.
Kate k
I can't believe that those kids our age they played the song really good and it was a lot of fun listening to the song.
-Sveta Z.
This Video Is Wonderful its a nice video to watch
From,Daiveon
there very focused but i bet they have much more practice and dicapline than any of us do.
That was great, they kept tempo and they were in tune. Amazing that they are only 13-15 year olds.
There transitions were really good.
Like from the lower instruments to the lower ones.
~Mollie M.
i couldnt belive it they played so well and very fast. they had great rythem and style. we should really try to be like them.(but better)
Ben F.

I also think the way they came in right on time was just perfect.

i like tghe way they played it looked like tghey practice alot for our age maby one day we could be like them they sounded like professionals during that song
I really have too agree with the people below me when I say, WOW I can't believe they're our age. They look and they sound like professionals!
Chris B.
These kids practice a lot I think I would pass out if I played for that long. It sounded like it was adults playing.
Caleb O.
Mr. Terry my comment isn't showing up on the website. i have tried it twice.
Caleb O.
Elisha C.
That was perfect for other kids are age and I leand alot like new chords and notes cool things.
Wow, they're so GOOD!
So togheter! I agree to wesley
that they must practice ALOT :)
I get a feeling I want to dance
with this piece of song.
I thought they were really good because they got faster and then slower and then faster again. I like the part where they stop then play fast again.
Lori L.
Wow that was great, they really were good and must have practiced a lot to get that good. But I bet we could do just as good if we practiced a lot, like practicing five days a week for like four hours a day.
