week 5 rehersals

I had to miss monday due to jewish festival 'Sukot' but i cought up on everything on wednesday and settled in with the set and performed well.
This week we all worked on our original songs our color songs, but we worked on 3 colors, green, blue and yellow because we thought as a group that green, blue and yellow were the best songs to use for the induction performance. for the three original songs we listened to them and made changes that would make the song better, what the songs needed, so we all split up into 3 groups, some people went into the green group, some went into the blue group and then some people went into the yellow group, i got put into the green group. To all the people that got added to one of those colors had to do something in the song like: play piano, or sing with the lead vocalists, play the drums, add all sorts of things to make the song lively and the best it can be.
All week each of the 3 groups rehearsed the song many many times, got used to the song, got the vibe of the song, improved little bits, changed bits. We all really worked hard this week and worked as groups really well. The songs sound even better then they used to. We also scrapped 'i feel good' because as a group we all felt as if the song was really not strong enough to be performed for the induction performance and we felt like it was not good enough. Everything is sounding really good and is feeling strong, there is still a few little errors we all need to fix and correct but other then those errors everything is going really well.
On friday we rehearsed our final set, we performed to the year 2 music students, the set lasted 27 minuets, so something went wrong because we took to long and went majorly over our time limit, so on monday hopefully our set will go as it should be and we will be in time with our time limit.
in between songs people took to long to set up their instruments, people stood in the wrong place and that took time to move to where they should be placed, people were talking with each other about the song or talking in general. i feel as if everyone did really good in the whole performance expect for the fact that people took to long to set up and held the whole performance but other then that people were confident, i feel as if people including me can put more energy in their performance, have a bit more fun with it, towards the end of 'ordinary people' donavon lifted up the energy and started dancing and grooving with the song, this was really effective and made the audience react positively, the audience and the performers started laughing and a really good energy was created and it looked like people were enjoying themselves.
I think the audience really enjoyed the set, they laughed, got really excited, commented natrually with excitement eg.. 'yes yes she is goooood' etc, they clapped along with the songs, they looked like they were enjoying it all by the way they were smiling, moving their head with their song, smiling etc, there was a good vibe in the room but i still feel that we all could of done stronger and much better, i really hope the induction performance will be much better and we will actually feel like we achieved something, and feel good about it. I felt like i could've done so much better, i guess i was nervous, because as a singer i am really not confident so it pulls me back from doing the best i can as a singer.
