evaluation of performance
Performance Evaluation
Audience - Friends family and public people came to our event This means we managed to get a variety of different people to our event through publicity. This also meant that we were quite comfortable with the people we were playing in from of because we new most of them rather then knowing none of the audience. The audience also consisted of the Henley Standard and teachers, this meant that there was publicity and a small paparatzy there, this did make some of us a little more nervouse but we were all still very confident and comforatble when we stood up on that stage.
Communication - In my ensemble we communicated a lot with each other and even when Somer forgot her words i helped her by singing them near her. For my group eye contact was an important. Not only did we from communication help eachother with the words but timing. At the end of the bridge this was vital because this was the hardest part of staying in time, this is beacuse we all had to come in sync. Communication in the group also helped us look proffesional and made it look like we knew what we were doing.
Stage Presentation - As a whole in the ensemble, we all new that stage presentation was very importantant in our performance, we all needed to look relaxed and confidant and if we had any mistaked we shouldnt show them other wise the croud would more likely notice it. If you look messy and dont look confidant, the croud will assume your performance will be too. We all dressed well and none of us looked as we have just come out of the garbage tip, we all looked proffetional and all looked the part. Eye contact from Somer especially was very good with the croud, she manage to look at the croud for a good time but also mainted concentration in her performance.
Musical Competency - I felt that we all played together very well, we sounded very smooth and we all looked pretty confidant on stage. The guitar was in tune and the singing was in tune aswell. Charlie on the drums was perfectly on time and kept the whole ensemble together and made it very tight. Levels of indeviduals as well was very good, the singing was not over powered by any of the instruments and you could hear all of it very cleary and so didnt soundmuddy. We went through the song very well and so it sounded very smooth, when we changed fromchorus to bridge or verse to pre chorus it sounded smooth and didnt sound clashy, we all ded very well to keep the performance consistant. We also handed timing of the different sections well too, we all monaged to go into different sections smoothly apart from when we left the bridge. But everything else went very smoothly. As the guitarist i found the performance easy because i could hear everything very clear and with help from the drummer charlie i could stay in time with everyone else.
