First of all, I want to let you know how proud I am of you for your performance today.
I heard the recording and it is the best you have played to date and that's the most important!
The results are not out at this moment but for me, you have emerged as winners already.
Some notes:
1) Flutes: Well done most of the parts, some intonation hiccups :P
2) Clarinet: Powerhouse section but with some intonation problems too!
3) Saxophone: Well done, can hear you all clearly!
4) Trumpet: You could not have done better with 4 players, some problems but will be fixed by next year!
5) Horns: I can hear you! Some nice notes, some not so nice...you know what to do!
6) Euphoniums: Very nice sound and clearly a very strong section
7) Trombones: Very strong too but make sure everyone can play all the notes by next year!!
You know who you are! :)
8) Tuba: Just nice, luckily you did not overdo things and go sharp! :)
9) Percussion: ZhangMi, good job haha. Good, continue to listen to Ms Akari and work hard!
This competition has brought the band closer together and there's this strong band spirit within us now! I want you to keep this positive attitude and love for band and each other on and on!
We have good things to look forward to: Year End Trip!!! :)
Regardless of result tonite, I think we should all feel happy. Only we know what we went through to play for 15 minutes on stage today! Congrats :)
