Oh poor things, they're playing Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. It's a fantastic piece, but one that tends to slowly invade your life if you're playing it (as evidenced by the fact that about half of the videos feature it in some way). "Earworm" doesn't begin to describe it.

Also, going to go try and use an apple as a stop mute brb.

Grrr. Kids these days...the music they play...

These are cute videos and a good way to introduce the Youth Orchestra to the country.

These are great. Orchestra and band kids are the best.

Every section has a video, except the bassoons. If you're going to omit an instrument, it should be the viola....

I love these. They really capture the cameraderie of being in an orchestra section, especially on tour.

I would have LOVED making stupid videos like this when I was in music school.
