Adjudicators Comments - SCABA Spring Contest at The Hawth - 25th February 2018
Adjudicator : David Hirst Section : Third Order of Play 2 (of 2)
MARCH : The Contestor
Place : 2
A good tempo to open and most of the detail is clear. Solo Cornet plays well.
Ensemble is untidy at times. Bass Solo is well played.
There could be more dynamic contrast generally.
Trio - good cornet. Well done.
TEST PIECE : Napoleon on the Alps
Place : 2
A confident opening - check tuning in troms. [B] Good dynamic - more baritone please.
[D] Well controlled. More contrast in dynamics generally please.
Good cornet into the Lento. [ I ] This could flow much more (crotchet=72 -->).
[K] Good solo lines and good approach to [N]. Good Cornet into [O].
[O] A little steady for crotchet=120. Good percussion effects at the marziale.
A really good 6/8 feel and you cope well with the technical challenges. Flugel - well done.
Some untidiness at [U]. This is all confident playing.
A rousing close - well done.
