Final Evaluation Questions:
1. What was the main aim of our project, and did I/we achieve it?
The main aim of my project was to rehearse and perform various songs that my band wanted to play. We rehearsed for just over two months and I think that we achieved our goals. The songs we performed well when I come around by Green day, paranoid by black sabbath, I bet you look good on the Dancefloor by the Arctic Monkeys, Scotty doesn’t know by Lustra and finally, a really botched version of killing in the name of.
2. Looking back, how could the planning process have been more
effective in preparing for the final project?
3. Did we/I make any big changes to our project along the way,
and why?
One big change, but I made while rehearsing Scotty doesn’t know was that I added my own solo a few days before the gig I had to learn this at home and I thought it sounded really good personally. The second pic change that I made was very last second. I decided to ask my band if I wanted to perform killing in the name of without practising; we agreed to play it. We rehearsed in the practice room on the day of the gig for an hour, it went okay.
4. What went really well in our project, and what didn’t go as planned?
one thing that went really well with Kierans timing on guitar it has significantly improved since the last time we performed back in October. This helped a lot because the instruments had good with him instead of sounding off beat. Another thing that went well was my guitar playing because it felt like I didn’t make a mistake once which I am very proud of because I have always made mistakes when I was live
5. How well did we work together as a team on this project?
I think we worked pretty well together, playing live on the other hand, packing up and setting up was mostly me such as setting up pedals and plugging in guitars as Sukhbir didn’t do anything to help.
6. Did we receive feedback from others, and how did it help us
improve?
Our band didn’t receive any feedback from our performance, but if I had to give myself feedback, I would say that we did pretty good as a team delivering quality music to the crowd. However, we did receive some feedback from my rehearsals and the feedback came from our tutor, he told us to practice at home and come back well rehearsed and in time together.
7. What did we/I learn from this project that can help us/me in the
future?
I develop skills working with other people this will help me in the future by enabling me to work with a band. Over the last three months I have developed my alternate picking, hybrid picking, sweep picking, tapping, hammer-ons and pull-offs and slides
8. How did this project affect our growth as musicians and
performers?
this project did not seem like a challenge. This is because I have done other gigs which required some guitar skills which I have already obtained in my last gigs. I messed up a lot, but I have learnt from this and the game called
9. Were there any unexpected issues or events that impacted our
project?
one issue that impacted my project was that the PA system or the amplifier was too low which made my guitar quiet compared to the other instruments in the band.
10. How would you rate the overall success of our performance
and project on a scale of 1 to 10, and why?
I’d say around 6 or 7. We got through the songs fine, but it felt like some parts lacked energy or confidence, and a few transitions were still a bit rough.
11 How did the group dynamics contribute to the overall
performance? Were there any challenges in working together as a
team?
Working in a group was mostly good – we supported each other. But there were a few times where some people didn’t fully prepare, and that held us back a bit. Some instrumental parts needed more attention.
12. Did the technical aspects, such as sound quality and lighting, meet
the desired standards for the performance?
Some of the sound levels felt different from the final rehearsal – things sounded quieter on stage. I think the monitors weren’t quite the same. It threw us off a little, but we just kept going.
13. What went well during the performance, and why? Were there any
standout moments or elements that particularly impressed the
audience or the performers themselves?
Yes – the crowd seemed to enjoy the set, and the band had some good chemistry during a few songs. That felt rewarding after all the practice.
14. What aspects of the performance could be improved or enhanced
in future projects? Were there any technical issues or areas of
weakness that need addressing?
Personally, I’d work on fluidity and confidence with my parts, especially on guitar and bass. As a group, we need more discipline in rehearsals – fewer missed cues and stronger technical preparation.
15. How did the audience respond to the performance? Did you
receive any feedback or reactions that surprised you or provided
insight into the audience’s perspective?
No unexpected feedback. People said we did well overall. The audience seemed to enjoy it, and staff were generally positive.
