Typical Adudicator's comments :P

Hope this helps :P

1. The band tends to play on only one dynamic level.

2 Attacks and release were not together.

3. the physical appearance of the band left much to be desired. Poor posture and feet not on the floor.

4.Precision and accuracy were lacking during tempo changed.

5. Most student of the band seldom looked up to observe the conductor during the performance.

6. The performance sounded dull and unimaginative-as though the band had been over-rehearsed.

7.Breath support seemed to be lacking during the soft and sustained passage.

8.The performance sounded under-rehearsed. the band was too busy trying to get the right notes that the expressive content of the music was lost.

9.Brasses over-blow

10. Clarinet throat note were badly out of tune 

11.Flute were out of tune in the upper register.

12. Brasses tends to go sharp during decresc

13. Dept of the band was noticeablely weak- 2nd 3rd trumpet, clarinet, trombone etc

14. Percussion section was consistently behind the beat,thus tempo during the performance tended to drag.

15.Percussion playing too heavy and unmusical.Sounded like a marching band.

16. phrase ending needs more attention.
