How did my impression compare to judges? I honestly thought that we did very bad, the judges were very lenient because we were not the best with our tone/breathing and our diction. Our breathes were high, and we slurred our words a lot. We did very well with our rhythm, that was our strong point in my eyes, we stayed with our notes, and held the right rests and note lengths.
Compared to our pre festival concert, we had many improvements. We improved on The Tide Rises the Tide Falls in aspects such as not letting the notes go too deep, and having better rhythm. We also did not miss entrances on this song either, when we did in the pre festival concert. Our performance of Tambourica was a lot more upbeat and happily sang for our festival performance. We almohad a little better of diction, but it was still very poor in our diction, and can be improved a lot.
Some of our strengths were that we were together, the guys all sang well together and the girls all sang well together. We did not do that well of a job on blending things like our vowels well though. We also did very bad on our diction and breathing. We did not have everyone singing with a hundred percent effort the whole time, yet we the people who were putting in the effort did a good job.
I believe I myself with a couple of people around me such as Joe and Yusuf are very important to the choir. We are the main part of the male section, there are not many other people who put in their best effort, and quite frankly make the choir worse. i sing out a lot, and for the most part I am usually singing the correct pitch in the correct octave, but everyone messes up every once in a while.
