I think that we did well. There were some notes out of tune. I noticed that the orchestra at the beginning when we're supposed to play mezzo forte, we were playing forte. I also noticed that during measures 9-16 when 2nd violins have their solo, it was hard to hear them, so either the 2nd violins need to play louder, or the rest of the orchestra needs to play softer. In measures 26-36, 2nd violins have mezzo piano marked, but we were playing louder than that. Also, in measures 35 and 37, the f naturals played by 2nd violins were out of tune-some sharps and some naturals. In measure 17, the rhythm, for the people who were playing the melody there, was off.

I feel like during the majority of the piece the violins and other sections were not playing at the same tempo and either the violins were too fast or the others were too slow. I also think we were pretty much in tune.

We did a really good job on keeping a steady tempo! I think we should work on following the dynamics. :)

I thought this piece was very good. Its not a particularly hard piece but we need to make sure the rhythm is right, our notes are in tune, and that we stay together to make it perfect or better.
