Carol of the Bells - MMHS Band - Sapphire Sound

Mira Mesa High School Band Christmas Concert. The best Carol of the Bells on the Net by a high school band!
Christmas perfomance by the great Mira Mesa High School Sapphire Sound band under the direction of Ms. Jeanne Christensen - December 13, 2007.
Carol of the Bells for your listening pleasure. Video-taped using the FLIP video camera. The video is shaky because there was no video stand to keep the video still. The sound is very good though.




This is the MMHS Marching Band performing the Winter Concert. This is not the MMHS Concert Band.

Marching Season is first semester from September through January.
Concert Season is second semester from January through June.

NOTES FROM WIKI:
"Carol of the Bells" (also known as the "Ukrainian Bell Carol" or as "Ring Christmas Bells") is a choral miniature work originally composed by the Ukrainian composer and orthodox priest Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych.
Savatage and side project The Trans-Siberian Orchestra have done a popular remake entitled "Christmas Eve Sarajevo (12/24)" that plays on many radio stations around Christmas."

So take your pick. Does this sound like the original Carol of the Bells or the rock version of Carol of the Bells entitled "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" by TSO? If the music sounded like TSO's version, then that is grand! All they needed is the electric guitar and piano.
