YESSSSS CELLOS FINALLY GET A GOOD PART, but lets also talk about the bass part to cause its better than what basses usually get (I am both a cellist and bassist)
Seriously. I became a cellist in 2019-2020 in my sixth grade year and this is my second year and I am finally enjoying my parts because this song has interesting parts for the instrument
that’s so cool!! i listen to this from time to time just for the nostalgia purposes, really brings back when i first heard it and fell in love with being in an orchestra. never will forget it!!
Hey! As a fellow second violin, I also like this piece. The thing about seconds is they never get the melody. Most of the time the firsts get the conductors attention more of the time...
Hey fellow seconds!!! This piece was rather easy for me as a second violin but for the others it wasn't. They screwed up so bad to the point where I was the only one playing the right notes in the concert...
Bassist here, my fellow bassmates and I absolutely loved playing this song when we were in middle school (we're seniors in high school now) Bless you Richard Meyer for creating such a bop
Richard Meyer is such a middle school staple tho, nearly all my middle pieces were by him! I didn’t get to pay this song, but some of my friends did and they really liked it!
Must've been interesting, huh? I'm a freshman in high school right now so I'm still trying to get used to everything going on. (Good thing Night Shift is just a really fun song)
I'm in high school orchestra (1st time playing violin ever!!!) and we're playing this!! It's pretty dang hard for me!!! I absolutely love when the bass and cello have this specific part they play together... it sounds beautiful!! Ah, wish us luck!! :O
My brother played this once for orchestra class and it brought tears to my eyes~ he played Cello. I play Violin now and hopefully I can play just as amazingly as he did!
I'm so excited Richard Meyer is coming to my school tomorrow and conducting the Ventura county honor band for their rehearsal in the music room at my school! I'm in string orch but our music teacher said that we can go and watch them rehearse in small groups while we are next door in another room watching a movie.
We're actually on a song that the teacher says is really hard, but the villas have the melody. I'm so happy because the violins think they are the best, but we play it way better than they do. They just don't give us the melody because We would outshine the violins.😆
Never really appreciated this song till 12th grade. Was laying in bed one morning and had a urge to listen to it and boy do I miss being in orchestra. Sadly had to give it up my 10th grade year 2nd semester so I could pursue my military career. But I miss orchestra it was such a big part of my life and I would give up a lot of things to go back and be able to be apart of a orchestra again. ( I played double bass just in case anyone reading this comment is wondering) 🥺🥺😭😭😭
I've yet to find anyone who so much accepts the viola as an instrument in my school. The best part is all of the violas in my orchestra are better than the violins.
This brings back so many 7th grade memories, especially since it was the last song we played at our last 7th grade concert :'D I loved playing this song, and now hearing it again after a year of not hearing/playing it I feel so HAPPY~~~
I feel like. Violas are underrated. Violins and Violas share 3 of the same strings, and one different. I'm a Violinist, and I think Violas are the most unique. To play the generic high notes on a violin from a Viola, all you have to do is shift. I especially like how in this song, Violas have the main melody. It should be like that in more songs and more people should play Viola.
Where are my basses!!!!!! I am a bass and our school out of a 250 people orchestra there are only 12 basses!!! We are endangered orchestra members!!!! Where y'all at??? ❤️❤️
Found this piece in middle school and encouraged my orchestra to play it. I'm a graduating senior now, going into violin performance! This piece still makes me feel all the same feelings I felt back then. Mysterious, dramatic, yet slightly melancholic with a hint of hope... Gorgeous piece. 😊😊
avnini pinnini I’m a viola don’t hate on me imma a bing fan of all Richard Meyer pieces Night Shift Madras Rosin Eating Zombies Emerald Falcon Dragon Hunter Swamp Thang
Omg this was 3 years ago and i still play the intro to this song whenever i pick up my cello omg- and then everyone looks at me as the flashbacks begin
Senior in high school. Moved to a small town where they have no orchestra, only chance I get to play with people is honor strings twice a year. A randomly stumbled across this just this morning- I remember playing this song in 6th grade when I got first chair for the first time. Feels man.
This song was so fun and every part said they had fun playing it. As a bass, we actually had fun for once playing and listening to this makes me wanna cry for some reason. Its just such a good and fun song to play.
My eigth grade orchestra just got this piece yesterday and my instructor said we were the fastest group to site this piece in a day. I am a viola and our shifting at measure 50 sounds freaking awesome. Were playing this for our December concert and we are gonna rock.
Supreme_Goddess_of_the_Universe xD I play Viola, although I've never played this song I really like it! I might recommend it to my teacher for our spring concert ^^
I dunno. I'm one of the few who aren't taught by a private tutor and ,so I was more special because I was naturally good at the viola. So, I got first chair because we had to audition for it. I practice it once every other weekend, but it's also because this song is too easy...
This song is by far one of my favorites. I have listened to this on repeat 30 times. I think I have a problem. Whatever! I've played the cello for three years and counting and I love this song!!!!!!
![James Fridman Photoshop Trolls [2020]](/img/n.gif)
Another day, another blistering hand from shifting on the E string...
Try getting to that point on the A instead of the E. There you have the violas
oH MY GOD FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES HOW INCREDIBLY PAINFUL THIS IT
LOL
Try being a cello
Hehe violin NERD!
people say violas get no love, bass too, we can all agree that orchestra as a whole is underrated af
SO TRUEEE (lol the band kids I know are so obnoxious)
Orchestra>band
Fr and orchestra is just better (especially bc piano)
Yes! Whenever my orchestra does a performance for my school everyone focuses on Band.
You are right because I go to both band and orchestra classes and I say there are more kids that go to band than the orchestra.
finally a piece where cellos actually enjoy their parts
Bro I’m a viola player but like……I
Deep Sea Fandango
YESSSSS CELLOS FINALLY GET A GOOD PART, but lets also talk about the bass part to cause its better than what basses usually get (I am both a cellist and bassist)
Yessir cellos up in da club
Seriously. I became a cellist in 2019-2020 in my sixth grade year and this is my second year and I am finally enjoying my parts because this song has interesting parts for the instrument
Finally we have the melody my violists!
Omg same!!!!
Cellos too! Ahh I love this song ❤️ also love all the strings players in the comments, it’s reassuring
Frrrrr tho
can you play it in tune tho
@@matthewwalloch6250 lmao its hard for my orchestra's first violin section to play in tune
I'm so happy to find so many fellow violists. We are kind of like the endangered species of the orchestra world XD
YESS
+Des, it's a Lie im in fith grade and playing this its very nice. Awesome teacher. 50 kids. Half are violinists...
Were extremely underrated
+Des, it's a Lie I agree.
+Des, it's a Endangered my ass
Played this in middle school, I’m a junior now and we’re doing a throwback concert! All of my song suggestions were meyers and this one made it
that’s so cool!! i listen to this from time to time just for the nostalgia purposes, really brings back when i first heard it and fell in love with being in an orchestra. never will forget it!!
I'm playing it now!
Ah, the joys of being a second violin here...
Honestly this was one of my favorite middle school pieces.
Violins Whaddup!
Hey! As a fellow second violin, I also like this piece. The thing about seconds is they never get the melody. Most of the time the firsts get the conductors attention more of the time...
Yep. Those First Violins always get the best parts.
YEEEEE 2ND VIOLINNNNNN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hey fellow seconds!!! This piece was rather easy for me as a second violin but for the others it wasn't. They screwed up so bad to the point where I was the only one playing the right notes in the concert...
Josh Swaims 2nd violins ftw
Violas are love, violas are life
yeesss
The orchestra would fall apart without them
+Karina Sandoval Our orchestra falls apart with them, they try tho :3
Maybe it was just since I'm in the chamber group and we only have one viola
I agree I play viola in my 6th grade Orchestra
Bassist here, my fellow bassmates and I absolutely loved playing this song when we were in middle school (we're seniors in high school now)
Bless you Richard Meyer for creating such a bop
I’m a violist and I can confirm this is a bop lol.
Current Bass in high school, very fun
i’m a bass rn in middle school & this song is so fun to play 😭
Richard Meyer is such a middle school staple tho, nearly all my middle pieces were by him! I didn’t get to pay this song, but some of my friends did and they really liked it!
Bassist here, currently practicing this song for a concert and it's amazing
-Don't mind me and my piano accompaniment in the corner-
back in 8th grade (im a senior now) we played this in orchestra and i did piano for it, i guess i miss it now
Must've been interesting, huh? I'm a freshman in high school right now so I'm still trying to get used to everything going on. (Good thing Night Shift is just a really fun song)

It's never ever too late to pick music back up. Even if you're not ready for 50 more years, it'll be waiting for you. 😊😊
Omg a double bass player, I’m one too! Played this song in HS too, maybe we were in the same orchestra
#CelloSquad Aye, Violins are dope but man cellos nor bass or viola get credit, we all string players r great, not just violins

May mate u suck. Lol.
I've yet to find anyone who so much accepts the viola as an instrument in my school. The best part is all of the violas in my orchestra are better than the violins.
