It’s about time someone made a Banjo-Kazooie orchestra post-Smash.

5:10 THEY DID BANJOLAND FROM NUTS AND BOLTS OMGGG THAT MAKES ME SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY!!!

[@digitramch]

everyone looks like they're having so much fun!!

[@proudlarry8225]

That cello player is having the time of their life over there, must be a fan.

Why is the first xylophone so dang quiet?

[@DryIhs]

Why does this sound like it's being performed by middle schoolers? Just after the first minute, I've already heard so many mistakes and people struggling to stay in time. I mean, I love the idea of a BK orchestra, but I don't think this was done as well as it could be. It sounds like this is their first attempt at playing these songs

[@Korrlord]

Genial. Gracias por hacer esto real. Muchas gracias.

[@RufioRush]

This really takes ya on a whole ass journey, doesn't it? Loved it. Loved everything about it.

[@yannatoko9898]

Jesus the kazoos are a bit loud compared to the other melody at the start... and throughout.

[@papaG6423]

I like how banjoland was used over the original versions of those songs. Great work!

[@rezahydra]

I admire this isn't just the actual songs and is somewhat remixes of them. You all did a fantastic job!

[@iwavrQwpX4uB39nilBlQ]

The one that's a remix of levels is Banjoland from Nuts and Bolts, it's makes me so happy :)))

[@UndeadSauerkraut]

Any chance to see that live?

[@uclagme]

SirLunchALot come to UCLA

[@strngrdngr6572]

Pure Joy!

[@DanieleMaci]

No tempo, no sync, all instruments with no mic really...good idea but not (for me)...

[@MelonSodaGG]

I would love to see something from final fantasy 14 shadow bringers. the music in that expansion is some of the best in any game ive heard

[@benitogm00]

Could be better for sure... but still cool

[@frannydai]

The Atlantis part at 11:44 was a nice contrast to the other bombastic pieces. I'm glad so many performers seemed to be enjoying themselves.

[@Warlock_Sack]

Absolutely outstanding. Bravissimo.

[@JonatanPaula]

Loved every second of this video 😍😍😍

[@harmvonlintig7146]

Sounds like Moondog. Love it!

[@oJonatasPinheiro]

Awesome!!

[@edgararcega3046]

I never understood the purpose of the dude with the stick

[@Varitok1]

He keeps the pace and timing for people to pay attention too. The conductor is very important. You can even see him assuring the musicians are getting their cues to come in.
