Graduation Speech: No More Sailor Songs
The men’s choir preformed at the Hillcrest High school. They were the first to perform at the concert. Then came the women’s choir, then after that was the more expectance singers performed after the women’s choir. Each group had their own songs to preform but I’m going to talk about the one I performed in which was the men’s choir. I’m going to talk about the good and the bad with our sings.

In measure 11 when the basses are supposed to say lose our mind the balance wasn’t very good and all you could hear was the tenors. In measure 33 could be louder and have more of a balance.

What we could improve on the most through this song is the dynamics because we didn’t go soft when we were supposed to we were just loud all the
