CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Today was the Christmas concert I believe it went well, we were all a little nervous because no.1 it was most of our first time performing and no.2 we were opening the concert this ment that we were the main focus at the beginning. We needed our performance to be the best we have done this means we needed to relax so we could focus well on what we needed to do. This ment listening out for eachother so we were able to play in time and at the right tempo.

I feel that we played to our full potential this evening and we worked hard to push for perfection. 

Practice diary 4

For the past two weeks the group has been working on the songs bridge and perfecting the song overall. However we are now performing back to black in the Christmas concert, because of this we want to create a dramatic ending to the song using a small scilence to build tention and end with one large loud chord.

We decided that on the last chorus as Daisha (singer) sings the line "I go back to.." I the drummer would create a snare build up using a crescendo which finished at the end of the word 'to'. Everyone else would also stop completely and hold the science for a moment and then all play a finishing chord on the drummers cue. this meant we needed to use eye contact for the drummers cymbal hit which cued everyone else to play the last chord. As Daisha says the last word of the line and I stop the chord with a small drum roll to finish.

This would give the audience a powerful end to our first public performance. We have given ourselves till the Christmas concert which is in two and a half weeks. We belive this is a sufficient time limmit to perfect this.
