uhh.. is it like..her job to get out of line and conduct in the middle of a performance?? because that wasnt very professional...at all if the tempo is too fast.. deal with it and keep going. or tap the person beside you and tell them to sing slower and a little louder so that the people around them can hear.. UNLESS of course..that's her job =] wow.. you guys sound and look great =] =] =] =] =] =]

Hi, you finally guessed it... it's her job to direct the group... while singing with them.

[melissarbrsn]

wow so many critics, lol. It's a freaking High School but they sounded awesome as hell!

I agree that the volume changes are too sudden and the vowels on the "dings" need to be essentially eliminated. I also thing the bass' "bum" at the end need to be softer. It sounds like "Hey, I can hit this cool low note!" Tone it down and bit and you're gold. Still, quite good.

Also, I found the dynamics were less than perfect. The transitions from piano, mezzo forte, and forte were too sudden. It should should sounds similar to an ambulance passing you on the street, soft until eventually very loud and then soft again, but still fluent.

But still, this was beautiful. Definitely worthy of a superior.

[Cass7191]

The ding-dongs were held way too long. They should have nearly no vowel at all.. remember, you're trying to be the bell.. That's probably what got me the most; I'm an alto and I've sang this song for three years.

And to all those who are commenting on the girl keeping tempo, yes, she was supposed to do that and it is indeed professional. You'd see any accapella emsembles doing that. If anything, the most unprofessional thing here was the girl at the edge who crossed her arms.

I agree with you.... Choral groups from the Philippines sing this with majestic sound....

[gwaponkz]

They are good....

You used hear choral groups from the Philippines... You will be amazed how they sing songs...

[misschic007]

not really.

[orangeisevil]

Oh, shut up.

[Shokogogogo]

Naturally, singing accapella, and a director, you face two problems, pitch(can be solved with the pitch pipe), and tempo( as lovely as it is to have someone direct...it's very unprofessional, it's an ensemble, sure one person should direct in the group, but simply by a head nod can get a group on tempo. you speed up with an ensemble, you slow down, but you don't want to make any mistakes noticable)
