End of Semester Reflection

Using the Creative Cycle I learned that we need to plan everything well because later in the performance, it would not be good. But our performance went really well but maybe we need to practice more. Throughout the whole semester we focused on investigating more than the other steps in the Creative Cycle.

About the performance, I felt really awesome to be honest. Well maybe the audience couldn't hear my voice but I felt good. Superstition was really fun to play, Hey Jude? cool but not as fun as Superstition, for Thriller I'm not confident enough to dance around in front the audience.

Throughout the semester I learned that we need to be confident so the audience can feel it, even though we did something wrong but if we are happy, the audience can feel our joy. Also I improved my singing skills, even thought it's really bad.

I felt really good when playing the Kolintang during Superstition.

What I need to improve is my confidence. I was really 'spaced out' during Thriller, we were supposed to have fun and dance around but nope I just stood there and singing like a fool. So yea next time I really need to be confident.

Singers should be louder, we need to have more fun during Thriller! Maybe don't be afraid because my friends told me that they can see our faces that were full of fear.

To be honest, I don't think so. I didn't show my best ability during the performance. Yes, my voice should be louder and I regret to not listen to Bu Meghan.

It was really effective because the songs in the 70s, 80s and 90s were way better than nowadays. Also it showed other people that we used the Creative Cycle to show the whole performance.

Kolintang was really effective for Superstition, the other instruments are ok because they are 'normal' to be used as band thing.

I don't think we need more instruments, we had enough of them.

No, the singers were not loud enough. I can hear the harmony but I couldn't hear my own voice; along with Nadya's, Daleescha's and Farah.

I like everything about the performance, the Kolintang sounded great also the singers (even though they are not loud enough), the 'small dances' were great, Mike! The bass for Superstition. But the best thing about the performance is when Rasyid rap in Thriller, it was marvelous.

I can hear everything except the soloists in Hey Jude.

The Creative Cycle really helped this performance but what I don't like is the investigation part; we spent so much time in this stage.

Mostly I enjoyed the practice and the actual performance. At first (during the performance) you could feel the tension in air but when we switched to Superstition, you could feel people's happiness and lastly Thriller: you could feel the back-up singers'

To be honest, it was not really hard because I already did it in IT class.

I would never change a thing for this performance, it was already perfect for me :)

I will miss Ibu Meghan everyday, she is really niec and I'm grateful for her to be my PVA Music Class Teacher.

The Final Performance

I think we did a good job, I love our performance. My friends said that it was amazing and they want to join this class next semester. I was really nervous for Hey Jude, Jannah (a friend of mine) told me that she could hear me in the first verse only. The rest of the song? not so much...

Superstition was a blast, but it was hard for me because I couldn't hear the soloists. When the part "when you believe in things that you don't understand..", yea I couldn't hear that part so I was late playing it on the Kolintang.

Thriller? Not really....
I was not confident, trust me it was embarrassing for me. I did a few dances or so but not as much as I did during the rehearsals. Next time I really need to be confident and be brave. I really need to have fun on stage, but I sort of got a panic attack hehe.

Overall it was a good performance, next time we need to calm down and have fun :)
