It was amazing hearing everyone singing Month of Maying together. It had me in awe. I also tried to give everyone a standing ovation because, honestly, everyone deserved it. I hope to do another recital like this again in the future.]]> 2018-03-12 12:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240807288 buchananle0826 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240807373 Everyone did great and it sounded like everyone really knew their music!]]> 2018-03-12 12:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240807373 21hodgsonel10 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240807863 I really liked it . It was really fun. The group I sang with did a great job. I saw people smiling while we were singing. The group as a whole did great. When the people joined in with us on God Bless America, it was really cool



I thought the strings did very good. My favorite was swash buckling sailors because I knew that song and it was performed greatly. 


The group that performed Steal Away did an amazing job. I had heard that song somewhere else and it was great. ]]> 2018-03-12 12:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240807863 fisherta0313 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240808434 I wasn't there as I was stricken with illness, but I am almost positive that everyone did stunningly amazing. I'm sure everyone tried their hardest and scored a perfect score. A+ for all.

Everyone did really well and I enjoyed getting to hear the strings perform songs that aren't typically featured in the Winter/Spring Concert. 
2) I was really nervous when I started singing my song and I feel like it impacted my voice and how I sang it. I feel like my breath control definitely could've been better but I feel like my tone was generally pure. All of the comments I received on my performance were positive. Overall I feel like I did fairly well, but their are definitely areas I am going to work on improving by Friday. 
3) One performance I especially enjoyed was the Japanese (I think it was Japanese) song that the strings performed. All of the parts melded and created an amazing sound. I enjoyed the personal feel of the Masterpiece Moments showcase and I would like to do it again some time. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240900888 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240901513 I thought the concert was a success for both strings and chorus. Both groups did a fantastic job and I'm glad we got to showcase the songs we've worked so long on. 

I was really excited Rebbekkah, Madison, and myself could perform Eleanor Rigby. Not only that, but I thought we did a really good job. The Strings group as a whole did a great job too. I thought Swashbuckling Sailors sounded awesome. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240901513 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240901888 The performance was relaxed and not stressing. The setting was beautiful. It had great acoustics.  That is something we usually do not get while  in the cafeteria. 

Dance for Love is my favorite piece to perform. While singing normally I can hear myself. During this performance I felt as though I couldn't hear myself or my part. I did not receive specific comments, but I received overall comments about how great it was. While observing other groups I was able to see the singing differences between individuals. How they shape their vowels, how they support themselves, and how well voices blend together. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240901888 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240902250 Overall, I thought the recital was beautiful. The small groups and solos sang with confidence, the strings blew me away (especially with their Swashbuckling sea shanty), and our entire chorus songs had to be my favorite part. Singing all together in a room with magnificent acoustics made our songs go from cool to outstanding, and I overall had a fun time singing as a group. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240902250 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240902289 I think overall it went very well, all the solos and small group performances did amazing and our whole choir AVE and chorale did very. The strings did very well I really liked Swashbuckling song. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240902289 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240902305 1.) Everyone did a really good job. i enjoyed getting to hear what everyone was been preparing. it made me more confident about my MPA song and i learned how to handle last minute changes. 
2.) when Taylor and I performed Lonesome Valley, i was very nervous. i was shaky and scared about how it was going to go. overall I think we did well, we couldve been better if we wernt as nervous. 
3.) I loved getting to hear the string perform, as much as i enjoyed hearing the rest of the small ensemble and solo pieces. i hadn't really gotten to pay much attention to them before yesterday. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240902305 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240905340

I think that we did good overall and that everyone gave their best efforts. There was some distractions in the back from our class with people talking while others where performing. 

When I got up on stage I was really nervous but I just took a deep breath and told myself I was going to be okay. When I started singing I felt a little better and during the middle of the song when it was the piano playing I heard someone say she’s really good that took away a lot of pressure and I was able to forget about my nervousness and continue on. 

My favorite performance was by Aiyana because she always sings so beautiful and with good volume. Her song was lovely and her voice went well with it. 

]]> 2018-03-12 14:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240905340 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240905357 1.) I really enjoyed the entire event as a whole. It was a bit less nerve racking in Mt. Olivet than in our own auditorium, or at MPA. I greatly enjoyed each small group and soloist, the acoustics gave it a different tune to our usual auditorium as well. Everyone did seem to be a bit more nervous than usual for a smaller performance like this one. My favorite sting piece to play was swashbucklin sailor, and William's Vocal Elise to watch. I was both surprised and very, very happy with Steal away, and my favorite song to watch was either Aiyana's solo, Ariel's solo, or Alyse's and Isabelle duet.

2.) I was extremely happy with Steal away. I was mainly thinking of coming in on time and getting a few difficult pitches. The responses were all positive and appreciative. 

3.) Aiyana's performance was amazing. Her pitch accuracy, Vowel and constant pronunciation was great, and what was really outstanding was her use of dynamics.]]> 2018-03-12 14:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240905357 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240906883 I was really happy with how In This Ancient House turned out. I was really nervous at first, but we got through it and it sounded alright so I call that a success!]]> 2018-03-12 14:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240906883 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240906946 I really enjoyed performing for our friends and family. My favorite was In This Ancient. It is very catchy also a really beautiful and unique song. Sydney's solo also was beautiful. Sydney went before my song and hearing her sing calmed my nerves a bit. Aiyana's solo was also very well done, as well as Ariel. Everyone actually did amazing!!! I think overall everyone did awesome. Everyone seemed well prepared and confident. My group song went pretty well and I am very proud of us. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240906946 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240907273 I think the overall performance went really well and all the solos and small group did very well and our whole choir performance was amazing. The piece that i really enjoyed from the string ]]> 2018-03-12 14:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240907273 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240907522 Everyone did an amazing job. The concert seemed to be a success. 

In this Ancient House was very well done, fantastic job, ladies! 

Sydney and Aiyana killed the game and did beautiful jobs, fantastic job ladies! 

From where I was, the mix of the choir sounded balanced. 

The Steal Away did a great job. There was a few timing issues, but overall, the tone, pitches, and blend was great. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240907522 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240908076 I loved hearing everyones solo/and small groups. Overall everyone did a great job and i enjoyed hearing it truly, Steal Away was OUTSTANDING, especially since they were so worried about it, great job lads and lasses. Sydneys perfomance was breath taking as well, along wiht everyone else. On Month of Maying I personally did not do my best, because I couldn´t hear anyone in my part, but i tried. Alyse and I for In This Äncient House did pretty well , we were very nervous but I think we did a good job overall. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240908076 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240909367 I was extremely nervous throughout the whole recital but when I got up to sing they all went away and when I sang I still felt the nervousness but it wasn't as bad anymore. ]]> 2018-03-12 14:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240909367 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240910445 The song ancient house was one of my favorites that afternoon it sounded really pretty ]]> 2018-03-12 15:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240910445 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240912156 1) The overall event was really awesome. I liked how intimate it was and I loved how it all flowed. I also loved how everyone got to have their own individual moments and then we all came together at the end. ]]> 2018-03-12 15:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240912156 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240916503 2) My solo O Salutaris went very very well I think. My voice was shaking though and I honestly could not get it to stop, but I'm proud of how I did despite that. I think I could have done better breathing wise had I taken a moment to settle down and think. ]]> 2018-03-12 15:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240916503 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240916869 2018-03-12 15:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240916869 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/240917689 The rehearsal I was at was very interesting. The acoustics in the church were very good and made a lot of the songs sound like how they were meant to sound (churchy).

They persevered and in the end the song sounded great. ]]> 2018-03-13 18:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/241563048 https://padlet.com/reabe/rvvkk62s9rf7/wish/247035752 1) Overall, I think we all did a good job. It was the first time many of us had song our songs in front of people before. I enjoyed everyone's pieces.

2) Steal Away went pretty well. There were a few rhythmic issues but the pitches were there. Overall, it was very good.

3.My favorite song is Habanera. I like the Latin inspiration.
