What about the last concert/performance are you proud of? Why are proud of this?

For both bands, I am most proud of our dynamics and overall our set list was played quite well. I am most proud of this because our dynamics tended to be the problem during our Cantando performances, and after listening to the recording of our concert, I could hear sections playing out or subtle depending their part.

If you could change or fix one thing about your performance, what would it be? What would you improve?

I would try to work on the fact that I should try to look up at the conductor more and make sure I’m playing on time. This was most evident in Funeral March as I rushed a section which led to the whole band having to match my tempo.

Please write a few sentences to describe your performance at our concert.

Overall, A solid performance to end the year. Tempo was not together sometimes however, dynamics were good, we played with confidence, all solos were great and the set list we had for both bands were perfect.

In a few sentences, please describe how this past year has gone for you in band? How have you improved on your instrument and what would you like to continue to improve on? 

This past year of band has been such a positive and fun experience, and taking band has been the best decision I’ve ever made. Since the start of the year, my breath control has improved and I now pay closer attention to dynamics. Something I would like to improve on is my tone on the alto sax, as I will not be playing Bari-sax after highschool.
