Rushing Alot]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992156 2010591 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992176 Strengths:
Oo's blending

Weaknesses: 
!!!!Slowing down!!!!

Soprano 1s are flat 

Note's on doo's aren't always accurate due to speed

On the loud sections the higher voiced were pushing too much

Altos are using too much chest voice and stand out. 

Not much contrast in dynamics.

Our swells were pretty good. Lot of pitch issues in the trade off section. Some faces are incredibly engaged and others look bored. Need lots more energy on all of it. FFF sections needs to be much LOUDER. Basses are overpowering everyone. Tenors on the mi-le-le was really off. Because of the lack of energy throughout I felt bored listening and watching this. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992183 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992185 Strength :  We sounded good on

Points of improvement: The bass and tenors were going flat on the higher parts, also entrances weren't spot on.]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992189 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992202 Praise: Dynamic contrasts are nice.

Improvement: 
-Get faces out of the binders.
-Note accuracy for long notes for soprano
-Needs more energy, notes beginning to become flat.
Sopranos- need more open vowels, SPIN!
-Have more fun.

-Emma Dawson and Makayla Cooper do a great job of looking up at Eich
-Heavy alto at section of m27
-m33 alto vowel sticks out
-Too much alto at m44; vowel is noticeable
-We need to listen for tenor at m35
-Hadleigh, Kenzie, and Hannah A. do a good job of being engaged
-We sound out of breath collectively at m58 and it cuts off the end of the phrase

Weaknesses: Some bad posture, You can hear when some people take breaths, Some parts begin to disappear. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992223 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992226 Praise: good vowels, engagement
Improvement: blending, dynamics could be stronger, staying with tempo]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992226 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992227 Praise: Strong bass sound

Weaknesses: We need to keep our energy to be on the tempos.]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992240 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992242 Tempo is a big issue. Tenner blend at high part is not good. Dynamics are improving. Blend for whole choir is good for the most part. Need better posture. We need to get movin´ and groovin´. Without someone clapping the beat i feel as a choir we fail at tempo. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992242 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992243 Praise: the Os sound really nice

Our do dos sound listless, and a little behind. Overall unconfident
Our loud sounds reserved/bored
We aren't' listening to each other
We couldn't have been slower if we had millstone tied around our necks]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992262 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992269 Praise:  i feel like the basses had decent blend at the "oo" parts. Everyone did great on " oo" parts Posture was pretty decent. 

Points of improvement :- Super spread and stressed vowels, ( all F+ parts)  our crescendos weren't really there we were just suddenly loud or quiet for the most part, major scoop on "U fal" (M. 35)  scoop on "Na Mi Le Le" (M. 65)]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992269 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992275 Strengths:
Ooo's are strong

tempo needs improvement
energy needs to remain high throughout the song]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992275 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992277 Praise: O's are really pretty. Altos little solo during the O's was great, Mr.E is Queeeen

Weakness: Keeping up in time and energy with the chorus, When we are FFF we need to be FFF

Weaknesses: Intonation, staying together as a whole group/sections being in different places, tenors sounded strained on the high part, dynamics could be a little better. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992279 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992282 Basses needs to slow down.And need more sound and even blending the word keeping in rhyms also need some more engery and feel happy because and sing loud so you can hear echo in the room and even watch the person that conducting and lesson to your section leaders and this song is about christopher tin so sing loud.]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992282 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992284 Strengths: good blend of "oohs"
Room for improvement: energy, overall blend, and some parts seem strained]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992284 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992295 Praise: The "do do do" part sounds great! The ending oohs blend really well.

Points of improvement: We don't really blend well- I can't hear all parts.
We get a little flat in some parts. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992295 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992319 we all blend on the "oh"

Good dynamic contrasts

Bad: Doesn't sound balanced

Need improvement: pitch and tempo and either the girls need to be louder or the guys need to be quieter.

- some of the parts sounded strained or uncomfortable, needed to be louder at the triple forte part, also the blending needs working on. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992365 310991 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992374 Praise: The "Ufalmewako" part was really strong and together.
Points of Improvement: We need to work on staying with the beat.

Also the men occasionally covered the sopranos and altos.

]]> 2016-10-28 19:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992394 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992396 I did 9/11

Bass 2s, We might want to watch out, we tend to go off pitch a little bit
Posture needs a little improvement, for the most part, it's pretty good but sometimes it drops
Tenors did seem a little strained in some places
We did rush a little bit, but we can fix that pretty quickly
Expression could have been worked on a little, a lot of good expressions, but many were "zombies"
Bass 2s, I know we have a hard time projecting on such a low note, but we could use a little bit more volume on that last stretch at the end.

Praise: Everyone had a good volume, Everyone seemed very focused.]]> 2016-10-28 19:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992399 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992402 Point of Praise: lots of open mouths/vowels

Improvement: bases were flat at higher notes and need more energy but that doesn't mean to push and become flat]]> 2016-10-28 19:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992462 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992473 Positives:

POI: A bit flat, could use a lot more sound, altos too strong on "mi le le", very bass heavy]]> 2016-10-28 19:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992479 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992489 Praise: Parts seemed to be shifting for emphasis well in the transitions of melody.

POI: Our tempo. Like yikes. I knew we were choir kids but I thought we could count too. 

Tenors kept getting pitchy.  

We need bigger variance in dynamics. Everything above and including MF is the same. Seems like hardly a change from MF to FFF. ]]> 2016-10-28 19:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992489 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/4n191l6ej7qp/wish/133992544 Tenors were strained at the super high part

Weaknesses:

-Work on dynamics
-Bass need to be less heavy and blend better
-Lots of scooping
-Mbi Nguni needs work, sounds sloppy (Basses)
-Voice needs to match style of piece
-Tempo
