Honestly I’m very impressed with the young drummer, too. He’s not playing out, understands dynamics and keeps the tempo. Dynamics and grasping the essentials of why you’re the orchestra’s back bone is so important and much harder to do for a beginning percussionist than any sort of etude! Little homie understood the assignment fully.

A song can be carried across time like this and be shared and spread to take people on the same journey over and over again. It’s the human talent of finding beauty in the abstract condensed to its purest form. We like certain sounds strung together and if you string sounds together well enough an entire crowd can be synchronized with the sound. Man what a life we all lead. Being alive is awesome.

Have you even played in an orchestra before? Also playing those classical pieces gives people a greater affinity for music, a trained ear, rhythm all that that you wouldn’t get if you didn’t play an instrument or spend some time really getting into music. I mean just playing in general does that but it’s not going to be forced out of you if you play free bird or what have you. I actually fell in love with classical music from playing in orchestra but I’m also massive fan of rock. It’s my favorite type of music. But playing a rock piece adapted for an orchestra isn’t going to make people passionate for playing. They have to find it within themselves to learn to love it. Some of the best players in my grade hated playing and not even Bohemian Rhapsody could get them to crack a smile during class. They’re fun to play but I’ve played plenty of pieces that were about as enjoyable because of their complexity and overall composition. Teachers select pieces as part of a curriculum and to entertain the parents to some extent. But again, the pieces aren’t going to make them passionate for the music. It just comes naturally from person to person.

You have made an old woman very happy. I ran across this video, now more than 10 years old, quite by accident tonight on my birthday. The orchestra eventually gets into a groove, and then the solo! What an awesome teacher to choose such a piece, a piece that indisputably is the finest jam of any rock band in musical history. 🙏💕. I'm sure the guys from Lynyrd Skynyrd are smiling down upon your performance. 💜

Ronnie, Allen, Leon, Billy, Steve and Cassie must be giving a standing ovation thinking wow...who would've ever thought that Freebird would be played by a school string orchestra. BRAVO to these young musicians and especially the girl doing Allen's solo. I love this!!

I can truly say that Allen Collins would be so proud to see his music represented so well by a group of youngins like this. She really did go note for note with the studio version. Very impressive and very respectful to such a perfect song.
