Concert Review/Thoughts

Our concert actually went pretty well. I think that we played So-la Viola the best and we played cello pudding pretty well. We messed up a little bit on Oasis for Basses, because we were playing at a different tempo that the conductor was conducting at. Fit as a Fiddle also sounded nice, although I thought that we could have done the double stops at the ending a little more in sync and in tune. The other Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra was amazing. They sounded like professionals and I could not hear even one mistake in their playing. The only problem I had with their performance is that the pieces were a little slow which was mentioned in class several times. Other than that, they sounded amazing and if I closed my eyes, I could imagine that I was listening to the DSO or Philharmonic.
