Adjudicators were more lenient in 2011 as compared to 2009(is it the same team of judges??), hence yielding a high number of Silvers which I personally felt that some of the presented items was more Bronze deserving.
The judges opinion could be swayed towards giving the benefit of doubt due to higher standard of pieces chosen, which is very much a point of contention with judging matters. Do you award points because of the choice of the difficult piece or the level of competent execution of the work?
The number of schools participating in Guitar Ensemble Judging is increasing, which is a good sign to the guitar scene in Singapore.
One note of concern. I wonder how the kids have learnt their parts.
If it's done by tabs, we are doomed.
