Performance

When my group performed in front of an audience for the first time, we were as prepared as we wanted to be musically but not technically. We performed in ways that we understood were not ideal nor productive, and because of this I felt much of our feedback from the audience focused on that. Many people suggested things we already planned on doing and did not focus much on the things we wanted feedback on, such as how our piece worked musically or what we could do to improve our use of techno with the flute. Even still our group benefitted from performing in front of an audience, for we needed to get together a cohesive idea to present. Before that class period we were still dealing with many hypotheticals and “what if’s”. I think we are all glad to have contributed something cohesive and somewhat “final product”. So far I have contributed many compositional ideas but have not been able to perform too much because we did not have clock at the time. Now that should no longer be a problem. Moving forward, my group needs to focus on getting our technical stuff down so that our feedback isn’t almost 100% about things we already are aware of.
