Project 2: Task 2b - Final Band Skills Rehearsal

Attendance

• Due to it being Band Skills,  a lecture exclusive to the performance course, the producers were not asked to or expected to come.
• The entire band was present

What we planned

We aimed to finalise our song and make sure we had it down as a band with the structure and dynamics etc. We wanted to receive feedback from the lecturers so we knew what we could improve for our final performance.

Result

I received useful criticism on my playing during the chorus which lead to me hitting the snare harder, driving the groove more and giving the song a nicer sound. As whole they wanted the song to be tighter in certian part as the more we played the more relaxed we got. They also wanted vocal harmonies in certain parts to add depth and volume.

My verdict

To address the criticisms received our band will be working pairs to improve the piece as it will be more beneficial. To get the harmonies correct both the singers will have a rehearsal together, to get the structure 100% and tight the lead and rhythm guitarist will work together and to get the groove tight the bassist and i (drummer) will run the song together.
