syf - judges' comments

SYF CENTRAL JUDGING 2009 - JUDGES' COMMENTS ON JVCB

i can only remember the judges comments vaguely that mrs chee announced

some were very good
some were not bad
and some were okay
we didnt have any terrible comments

these are of the few positive ones i can remember :

- warm tone
- nice interpretation & very good performance on flying high
- good beginning for both pieces
- good rhythim
blah blah

things to improve on :

- tuning at certain parts
- rushing
blah blah

mrs chee said that she didnt understood why we couldnt get a gold,
considering we had rather good comments from the judges .
generally .
she said that she had to analyse them and find out why .
what makes it tougher also was that the comments weren't really realiable.
when one judge comments on an area
say, ryhthim,
another one may contradict it

mrs chee also said that other unsatisfied band directors
threw a question at the judges

" why do bands playing of such a lower grade
get the same standard as of those that are of the higher ones "

& they responded, saying that they judged according to what's on the score
rather than the grade
it frustrated the judges more

and yay!
mrs chee agrees that we are going to play grade 3 pieces & above from now on !
especially for the upcoming AMPIO MUSICA next year
woohoo ~
she has high hopes on us ^^

note : this post is to please JVCB members
and to inform the members who weren't present when it was announced
& is not to spite other outsiders .
please do not respond harshly if any of you outsiders feel offended
