overall as a group i think that we work well and cooperatively together during the process of devising the two pieces. i think that we created two contrasting pieces with a shared theme, and made them the best we could to our abilities.
despite us nearly being a member down for the official performance, i believe that we executed the performances almost as well as we could've seen as we didn't get the chance to have full run through's of each performance. despite this, during both we all managed to keep good chemistry with each other to make our way through the pieces effectively. we managed to keep in time with each other during reflection which during rehearsals was difficult as we were all playing completely different rhythms to one another; with us all maintaining in time it allowed us to keep up the lively tempo meaning that the piece didn't drag. this was the same for man in the mirror as we played around with the tempo in places to make it more entertaining and interesting for the listener and the audience. we had problems with this in rehearsals but on the day we pulled it our of the bag and i felt we did a good job.
for me personally in man in the mirror i was very happy with my performance and the fact that i didn't get the lyrics wrong. in almost every performance we had done of the song i got the lyrics of the pre-chorus mixed up and confused so it threw me and my other group members off however in the actual thing i got them correct which was a huge sigh of relief for me and for my group.
some things i feel that we could've improved on in our performance was the way we possibly staged both of them to make them more visually interesting as i feel it may have been a little visually boring for the audience as there wasn't much movement around the stage. also i feel we could've worked on dynamics more in both pieces as the dynamic changes between sections didn't sound as noticeable or dramatic as they could've been to make it more interesting and give the piece more shape. if we could've had longer on reflection, i feel we could've changed the way that some instruments were playing their notes as it could've sounded a lot more lively and a lot more different from the original if we had more time.
