In my opinion I think that we made big progress not only individually but mostly as a band as we all memorised our parts. I think that this is a progress because at the very start we never really worked as a band and we never talked about the work. Another success is that we all listened to each others weaknesses and focused on improving them. During our performance no one forgot their parts which made the performance successful and it made us look professional .
- we all stayed in time
- communication with the crowd
- time between songs
- looked professional
- team work
Over the past few weeks we had small amount of time to rehearse our set we had many difficulties with the song choice but also the structure of the songs. We needed to change many songs because one member left the band and therefore it was much harder for us to think about everything all over again so we decided to improvise in the songs You Got Me but also Ill Be Missing You. In my opinion I think we did very well due to the complications we had at the start. In the song YOU GOT ME i decided to improvise on the chorus which made the song more energetic. We took some advice from a professional band and their advice made our band more successful.However in my opinion I think that if our band member didn’t leave our performance would sound much different but also it would create different vibe because the songs would be much more different and maybe we wouldn’t have to improvise as much but also mix two songs together.
Another positive thing about our final performance was the timing between the songs because we struggled with the change overs and whilst the others were changing onto different instrument I tried communicating with the crowd and I think that this made our performance successful because we showed the crowd how confident we can be.We also played our songs in a order where there weren’t many change overs and this made us look professional and we all looked confident in what to do next.Another success was that we all looked professional and we all looked confident in playing or singing our parts. This is very important because it shows the audience we have confidence but also that we are not scared to perform in front of others.
Our biggest improvement should be longer set due to the songs we had to change we had to cut many parts of the songs out and therefore they were much shorter. Also we should improvise more to make the songs different from the original this would be a nice thing to do because it would sound more like our own song and therefore I need to improvise more next time. On the other hand we should focus on our stage presence more and the communication with the crowd or others in a band. Communication is very important because we should all listen to each others ideas this would help to understand each other but also to know what type of style of music we all prefer. However talking to the crowd includes more confidence but also more things to say this will help the crowd get to know the band. It would be good if I spoke about our band more and about the course we are doing but also about our journey and what we did to make our performance acceptable.
