Performance Evaluation

I believe on a whole, the performance went well for every band. I don't believe our band were one of the best because I think the choice of people put together meant that everyone had conflicting opinions and sometimes people didn't listen to each other. I enjoyed playing bass and although it hurt a lot of the time I'd like to carry on with that instrument maybe next time.
If I could do this project again I would have definitely tried different songs. The original setlist we'd thought of - in my opinion, was better fitted to 1 genre and better for the band as a whole. Not only, I think, would we have played those songs better, but also we would have enjoyed doing it more.
I don't think that all the decisions made within the band were fair and I think Dan especially could have had more to do within the songs. This is one of the reasons I also believe different songs should have been chosen. Although it was the band's idea to go ahead with some of the songs after we'd faced problems, one song I definitely would have chosen to change would be Girls Just Want To Have Fun, regardless of my personal taste in music, I don't think this song showed off the band's potential, especially Emily's, as she found this song hard to sing because it was too high. I think just instead of going ahead with the song, we should have tried transposing it first, it wouldn't have taken much work, as a joke the band playing in transposition for a minute or two before we started a practice one time, and we pretty much had it nailed within a few seconds, and I believe this would have been another choice we could have taken.
For the actual performance, I couldn't hear the guitar very well, and so next time I would make sure I could hear myself before I started playing something that might have been incorrect.
I found Because The Night hard because, although the chords were very easy, I don't play lead guitar and even thought it was simple, I couldn't nail the solo on the night. If I had another chance at this performance I'd practice the solo more than anything else to make sure my mind didn't go blank on the night. I know for a fact I practiced more at the things I already knew I could do rather than the things I found hard.
