debrief questions.
Was the process a success? Why?
I don’t feel that the process was a success because none of us used our time 100% effectively, which then slowed us down on the quality and quantity of songs we performed, we didn’t manage to sell out the second night despite our efforts in promoting the event to those on other miskin courses.
Was the performance a success? Why?
I feel that the performance was successful for the most part, the atmosphere and crowd reaction to each song was great, and it was a good energy performance onstage and off.
However it could have been better by doing things such as:
More energy on stage – some people looked a little bit awkward and weird on stage.
More crowd interaction and quicker changovers – although there was a bit of crowd interaction I feel that there were still some spaces of silence between the slower changeovers.
What was your input as an individual ? What else could you have done?
It was my idea to learn the song ‘going down’ by the pretty reckless, and that and the ‘yeah yeah yeahs’ were the only songs I did, however I was asked to be on other songs, but I was too fussy with what I wanted to do.
I also helped to advertise the event by putting up posters around the college, and handing out flyers, also I had the idea to put the promotional ‘zombie video’ on the big tvs in the canteen.
I could of done a lot more considering there were long periods of time where I wasn’t doing anything, for instance I could have helped out with production meetings etc.
What would you do differently if you were to do the process over again?
I would offer to be on more songs, and maybe even another instrument to get out of my comfort zone.
What did you find hard during the process? What were/are your weaknesses? How have you improved that?
The thing I found hardest with the process was that there was a lot of spare time for me, which I couldof used looking at other songs etc however,so many other people were working on stuff when I had free time and I found it difficult to get into a band where everyone had something to do.
