And the pronunciation of Elijah was super inconsistent.

This wasn't a bad performance (the dynamic contrasts were good) but, hallelujah Jesus, the last chord was really out of tune....

THE WOMEN DUSENT SING GOOD
-
around 1:47 sounded really bad

REALLY Flat!

the women's voices were way too light. this is not a solo jazz piece, it's a negro spiritual. their tone needs to be dark and rounded.

Nees lots of work on parts at the end-no thuird on last chord?

The first half was amazing, but the end went far too fast. And it lacked the aforementioned 'explosion' feel. Like pandora's box being opened and everything goes crazy. It had the same feel as the first half which doesn't really work.
Why is it necessary to put people down? I heard your YouTube video of this and I heard a lot of good things. Wonderful, rich sound, but why compare with a group of 33? I also heard things that I and Moses Hogan would have done differently (and, yes, I had the pleasure and terror of having Hogan judge my choir on his music, and he liked it. Of course, he heard us at festival, not at the end of a 3 hour school concert.) Let's learn from and support each other, OK? Choral music is not about combat!

What? You mean a group of high school sophomores, juniors and seniors don't sound as good as a chorus of college music majors, alumni, and faculty? Of COURSE they don't! I had the pleasure of joining in rehearsal and performance for a week with the Phil. Mads, and any high school choir that good would be examined for steroids! Jeez, people here are so judgmental!
