I think we performed well in Birds of A Feather, you can hear both parts of alto and soprano in the song especially at the end.

Isa Soto

2025-03-27 16:35:08 UTC

One area we could improve was in ABC near the end the altos were not as loud as the sopranos making the voice levels uneven. We could improve this by practicing more at home and by being more focused in class.

Isa Soto

2025-03-27 16:37:34 UTC

I am looking forward to the last event/Concert because it shows how much we have grown since the beginning of the year.

Isa Soto

2025-03-27 16:40:26 UTC

A shout-out I have is to all the people who introduced the songs as it is a very brave thing to do in front of so many people.

Makeila Campano

makeilarothessc46328 — 2025-03-27 19:43:41 UTC

I think we performed well in Birds of a Feather, especially towards the end when we part. You can hear both soprano and alto parts blending together making the song sound way cooler. I also heard from friends in the audience that Birds of a Feather was one of our better songs. (Also because it was a fan favorite)

Makeila Campano

makeilarothessc46328 — 2025-03-27 19:47:16 UTC

The area we need to improve most is the beginning of ABC, because my friends said that we were the most quiet in the beginning of ABC compared to the other songs. She said it sounded a bit like we weren't confident. We can improve this by practicing keeping our volume stable. But overall I think we sounded fine in the concert.

Makeila Campano

makeilarothessc46328 — 2025-03-27 20:04:38 UTC

One thing I am looking forward to in Choir is the last concert because I can't wait to sing the songs we get to choose ourselves.

Sofia Leaf

2025-03-27 20:07:01 UTC

I think we performed well in Birds of a Feather because the blend between altos and sopranos in the main chorus was really good and you could hear the altos not just the sopranos taking over. Also most people would like this song more because it is a fan favorite.

Adriana O'Mary

adrianao45622 — 2025-03-27 20:10:59 UTC

I think we performed well in lean on me. you can hear both sides equally. you can hear the blending into each other. and from Kylie, she said it was really good and our claps were synchronize.

Niko King

2025-03-27 20:11:40 UTC

I think we performed well in the categories of tune during the main chorus of Lean On Me and I think we did well in our volume in the beginning of ABC.

Kylie McKay

2025-03-27 20:12:32 UTC

I think we performed well in the categories of having good harmony and the alto section was eating. You can hear us performing these skills in Abc.

Sofia Leaf

2025-03-27 20:12:33 UTC

I think an area we need to improve is "ABC" because in the beginning we were a little lost. I think we can improve this by tapping or moving along with the music so we actually know when to start. Also, we did lose the track but got back, I think this goes for the first as well.

Makeila Campano

makeilarothessc46328 — 2025-03-27 20:12:57 UTC

Shout-out to the whole choir for giving it their best during the concert. We have improved so much since the start of the year and I think we should all be proud! :)

Alise Champion

2025-03-27 20:13:28 UTC

I think we are doing well on the three part harmony in lean on me. I think we are doing well on it because we are in time, and had good blend and balance! Also we did good on the claps being in time.

Jillian Tognetti

2025-03-27 20:13:39 UTC

I think we performed well in keeping the same volume as the people next to us and having good harmony when it came to the three-part harmony. You can hear us performing these skills in Lean on Me.

Niko King

2025-03-27 20:14:19 UTC

The area we need to improve the most is in ABC the final chorus because, we need to remember the second verse before the key change. We can improve by rehearsing this part a little more than others.

Lily Wang

lilyw40906 — 2025-03-27 20:14:37 UTC

I think we performed well in Lean on me, because you can hear both sides equally.

Adriana O'Mary

adrianao45622 — 2025-03-27 20:14:39 UTC

the are we need to improve is ABC, in the middle we were kinda off but you can barley hear us going of. we can improve by practicing more at home.

Sofia Leaf

2025-03-27 20:14:48 UTC

One thing I'm looking forward to about the last concert is getting to see how much we have grown and getting to choose our own songs.

Brittany Colon

brittanyc43336 — 2025-03-27 20:14:52 UTC

I think that we performed well in Lean on Me. Some things you were able to hear well were our harmony, and as well as our balance was equal, and our claps were also on beat during the end of our piece.

What we need to work on - Amelia

2025-03-27 20:15:22 UTC

Something we need to work on in Lean On Me is balance, because in the Sopranos, I could only hear Alise. I could not hear the Altos, and the Part Threes were too quiet. Something we could do to improve is focus on this during practice.

Londyn Vincent

londynv72627 — 2025-03-27 20:15:24 UTC

Even though this was not part of our concert we need to work on our concert etiquette because the way we acted was unexceptable and rude to orchestra.

Noah Esses

2025-03-27 20:15:48 UTC

I thought that we did very well at clapping in time during the end of lean on me. I also think we did well towards the end of ABC.

Lillie Atterbury

2025-03-27 20:16:07 UTC

we need to improve on our entrances and when we hold our notes and finding the notes and also releases

HUNTER LAU

hunterl39359 — 2025-03-27 20:16:15 UTC

I believe we did good on our timing in lean on me. I feel like we did good on the clapping part of lean on me. you can hear this during the clapping portion of lean on me all claps were on time

Sanah Kahn

sanahk39746 — 2025-03-27 20:16:43 UTC

I think we performed well in the categories Birds of a Feather and ABC because of the different melodies mixed in the songs. In Birds of a Feather you can hear the alto and soprano voices mixing in smoothly. My favorite part of the songs are when the small group sings the high notes and when we sing in the last chorus of ABC.

Sofia Leaf

2025-03-27 20:16:49 UTC

Shout-out to everyone who announced the songs! It is a very brave thing to speak in front of a huge crowd!

Niko King

2025-03-27 20:16:59 UTC

What I'm looking forward to in choir for the rest of the year is the future songs we do.

Lillie A.

2025-03-27 20:17:15 UTC

i think we where really exsided for birds of a feather

KYLIE

2025-03-27 20:17:44 UTC

The area we need to improve most is the beginning of ABC and the ending of Birds of a feather because they are just a mess. We can improve this by lots and lots of strict practice.

Lily Wang

lilyw40906 — 2025-03-27 20:17:48 UTC

The area we need to improve most is how loud we are, because there was barely any sound in Lean on Me, but it was loud in Birds of a Feather.

Niko King

2025-03-27 20:18:04 UTC

Shout-out to Noah Esses because he mostly carried our section in volume and he helped me remember the tune of some of our parts.

Londyn Vincent

londynv72627 — 2025-03-27 20:18:22 UTC

Something I am excited for this year is the pop concert 'cause that sounds like a lot of fun.

Noah Esses

2025-03-27 20:18:23 UTC

I think we could improve our balance in birds of a feather. I think we could improve this by having the altos sing louder and the sopranos a bit quieter.

Angelica Hana

2025-03-27 20:19:08 UTC

I think we should improve on the small group because our voices were really cracky and I also think we should improve on blending our voices.

What we are doing well on - Amelia

2025-03-27 20:19:31 UTC

I think we performed well on Birds Of A Feather, because it was just a familiar song, so we clearly enjoyed singing it more than all of our other songs.

Alise Champion

2025-03-27 20:19:41 UTC

We mainly need to work on blend in balance, espically in ABC. And in birds of a feather the small group was WAY TO LOUD, and over powering (we sounded bad).

Lillie

2025-03-27 20:19:46 UTC

shout out to everyone who introduced the songs and KYLIE and ALISE for carrying

Bella J

2025-03-27 20:20:43 UTC

I think we performed well in the categories Melody during the last section of birds of a feather and blending you can hear us performing these skills in birds of feather and ABC.

Alise Champion

2025-03-27 20:20:52 UTC

I am looking forward to singing a Bruno Mars song in are next concert!!!!! And for are last choir concert to happen for a concert.

Lily Wang

lilyw40906 — 2025-03-27 20:20:58 UTC

Something I'm looking forward to in choir is singing more songs

Noah Esses

2025-03-27 20:21:10 UTC

I am looking forward to performing songs of our choosing during the VAPA showcase in our May.

What I'm Looking Toward - Amelia Chen

2025-03-27 20:21:14 UTC

I am looking forward to the end to the VAPA showcase, because I want to see my friends playing pop!

Jillian Tognetti

2025-03-27 20:21:25 UTC

The area we need to improve on is hitting the right notes and holding them out and not being unsure because it is important to sound strong and be sure of what notes to hit to make the song sound good.

Brittany Colon

brittanyc43336 — 2025-03-27 20:21:40 UTC

The area we need to improve most is our tempo during ABC, because during the middle of this piece, when we were doing the second chorus, we started to become off-beat with the track (even though we went on track later on..). We can improve this by practicing more on our tempo.

KYLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2025-03-27 20:22:02 UTC

One thing I look forward to is more fun things to do and better songs with better harmony's .

Alise Champion

2025-03-27 20:22:08 UTC

Shout out to Angelica and Kaelyn for slaying the introduction to ABC!

Londyn Vincent

londynv72627 — 2025-03-27 20:22:17 UTC

Shout out to Sophia and Isa for doing the announcements. YOU DID GREAT!!!

Brittany Colon

brittanyc43336 — 2025-03-27 20:23:14 UTC

I'm looking forward to sounding better, and to do concerts with Mount Carmel. :D

Jillian Tognetti

2025-03-27 20:23:27 UTC

One thing I am looking forward to is getting new music and singing our last concert.

Sanah Kahn

sanahk39746 — 2025-03-27 20:23:30 UTC

The area we need to improve most is catching up with the beat of the song in ABC because the tempo of the song is really fast and we got used to singing the song without the track. We can improve this by practicing singing the song with the track.

Lily Wang

lilyw40906 — 2025-03-27 20:23:47 UTC

Shout out to Sofia and Isa,

Bella J

2025-03-27 20:23:58 UTC

The area we need to improve most is volume because during Lean on me they were a bit quiet in my opinion. We can improve this by Being more loud and projecting while singing.

hunter LAU

hunterl39359 — 2025-03-27 20:24:00 UTC

I feel like in ABC we could improve our blend because because you could hear a lot of soprano and not a lot of everything else

we can improve this by the other part singing loader or sopranos singing quieter.

Londyn Vincent

londynv72627 — 2025-03-27 20:24:00 UTC

I think something we did well during our concert was the 3 part section on Birds of a Feather.

Adriana O'Mary

adrianao45622 — 2025-03-27 20:24:28 UTC

IM looking forward to the last concert because it shows how we grow and shows what we have to improve on

Noah Esses

2025-03-27 20:24:49 UTC

I was very proud of myself for singing the loudest in my part.

Bella J

2025-03-27 20:25:00 UTC

One thing I'm looking forward to is singing again the new songs were gonna sing

Brittany Colon

brittanyc43336 — 2025-03-27 20:25:26 UTC

I shout out myself for being in the concert, and singing very well.

JILLIAN🌺

2025-03-27 20:25:59 UTC

Shout out to Alise for carying us in the songs

hunterl39359 — 2025-03-27 20:26:12 UTC

Final concert and hopefully with a song I requested

Lillie Atterbury

2025-03-27 20:26:19 UTC

I think we performed well at the begining of the small group but not at the end and you can hear this at the end of birds of a feather

Sara Kamani

sarak48469 — 2025-03-27 20:26:38 UTC

We are doing well in harmony and our performance of ABC was my favorite song to sing.

KYLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEmckayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

2025-03-27 20:28:40 UTC

I shout out Brittany and myself :)

Sara Kamani

sarak48469 — 2025-03-27 20:28:54 UTC

The area we need to improve most is harmony because that will make us a better singer.

Sanah Kahn

sanahk39746 — 2025-03-27 20:32:03 UTC

I am looking forward to singing more popular pop songs in choir! and our last few concerts for the school year.

Sara Kamani

sarak48469 — 2025-03-27 20:32:17 UTC

One thing I am looking forward to is our next concert in the Quad. Hopefully we can sing Beautiful Creatures.

Sanah Kahn

sanahk39746 — 2025-03-27 20:35:43 UTC

SHOUTOUT TO EVERYONE AND MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (for singing nicely in the concert) ^v^

Sara Kamani

sarak48469 — 2025-03-27 20:36:59 UTC

A shout out to Mrs. Walsh for her patience with us and to Lily W.

Kaelyn Martin

kaelynm33532 — 2025-04-30 23:51:08 UTC

I think we're doing well on blending our voices. Also without altos, it would sound boring, and the altos are the ones who make the songs way better.

Kaelyn Martin

kaelynm33532 — 2025-04-30 23:54:31 UTC

Something I think we need to improve on is being a bit louder so the crowd can hear us a bit more.

Kaelyn Martin

kaelynm33532 — 2025-04-30 23:55:40 UTC

I look forward to singing with Mt. Carmel more.
