Recordings
Just downloaded the recordings of the annual music camp for some listening. Must say it's quite ready for the upcoming Jan fund-raising concert, though there could some refinements to make the pieces more tasty.
America
Perhaps the starting speed could mildly resemble the ending tempo eh? 6/8 3/4 inequality prevalent. Prime chords are messy, though Basses help to delineate and clarify only. Overall a bit too harsh throughout for me.
Haru ga Kita
Not cohesive enough. Notes are there, ideas are not unified. Basses have to tone down, sticking out too much. May want to consider double up alto soloists, imbalanced with ensemble strength.
Get Back
Strums and off-beats could be tighter. Sounds melodically repetitive without the electric guitar.
ELO Medley
Some parts of the melody rhythmically unstable. Accompanying chords/bass stick out too much and too long at times. More volume changes perhaps?
Really I'm just being fussy. For the size of the ensemble and number of newbies, we are doing just fine. Anyway, I can't wait to listen to the small ensemble play in the new year 2006!!!

ya, think the ensemble is pretty prepared for the FR concert. Only thing is we may be playing to a less-than-ideal turnout :P
hmm.. the $14/tic price tag is really quite a turn-off leh.. i would prob think twice about attending too, if i were a JC student..
