The experience was somewhat different than any other comp that we have been to. There was one other group competing against us So we automatically advanced to state.
I thought that there would be more competition and we would have to fight for a spot. There was originally suppose to be 5 teams but 3 had dropped last minute.
To enhance our piece we need to cut something out and to add more emotion into the piece. we also need to be ambitious when we have to perform in front of the class/coach.
I really and truly think that if you and Lane put in all of the hard work the you could win state. You just need to know what you can fix and work extra hard on the bits and pieces that could be fixed.
I went to the competition with the piece "The true story of the three little pigs." I supposed to be performing it in the storytelling category but I somehow became enrolled into humorous interpretation. Going in I was not in anyway prepared. I knew that failure was certain and I accepted that early. My experience was pretty much as I expected. I can enhance future experiences by using the time that I am given. I can also try to take advantage of the chances for improvement that I am given. So instead of waiting till the day before to memorize it, I should add everything that I can by myself and then use the evaluation time to get tips that I couldn't figure out myself. I also now know what it feels like to leave knowing that not only did I not do my best but I barely tried at all and that is not a good feeling.
This time the experience was different. People weren't leaving rooms to go to another room and compete somewhere else, people were more serious then they were last few times since it was districts.
I did alot more better than what I expected. I wanted to break, I had the mindset to do so and I did but I didn't expect to it actually happen. (If that makes sense).
Focus more, work more so I can make state next year and notjust the place below (5th).
I went to the competition at Rossview High School on March 16th, 2019. I performed the piece The Good Mother by Elise Sharron. There was supposed to be nine people in the category but only 8 people showed up. This competition was really big and there were some amazing performances. It was very stressful and took a lot of hard work. I thought that I would not have a chance to break because of my lack of preparation. I did not prepare until the night before. I thought that I would have gone up and forgotten my lines when I performed. I went to the competition and gave it all that I have. I ended up doing very well. I did everything coach told me to do and I ended up breaking and qualifying for state. There are many ways I can enhance future experiences. I need to connect more to my character and make her more lifelike. I need to work on putting emotion throughout the whole piece and not just putting emotion at the end of the piece. I also will be more happy to perform in front of coach when it comes time to preform the piece in front of time. I will also take my advisory time to go over my piece instead of playing games on my computer.
My experience at the competition was very different than all of the other previous competitions that I have been to.
My feelings toward my expectations were very similar but I wish I would have done better. I really wish that I would have gone to my second round and I really wish that I would have read over my piece more and tried to memorize it better.
I could enhance my future expectations by actually reading through the rules and know what I can and can't do. I also want to actually work on my piece whenever I have free time.
My competition performance was better than I expected to be, but it still wasn't the best I could have done. Compared to my expectations for my performance and what I came out with were very low. I expected to get nervous, and forget my lines because of my lack of effort. As a result, I came out with something descent. Compared to everyone else at in the competition in the same category as me I should have been more invested in my piece.
In the future I plan on focusing more on what I really need to be doing. I will use my time more wiser. Also, I will try to perform in front of people to make it less nerve wrecking for me. I will look up words I'm not sure about and learn what they mean. I will show more character and movement in my piece. I will not wait until the last minute to put it all together.
The experience was different than any other competition that we have been to. I felt that this competition was boring only cause I saw the same people perform all three rounds. I was more nervous this time around than any other competition. I did way better almost breaking my first time of competition then this time which is a huge surprise.
I did exactly how I thought I was going to do I did good not great though. The judges felt the same way I could have done a lot better with the first half of my piece. I knew that my piece needed to be one cohesive piece and that showed that it was not. So I was not surprised by my piece and the outcome of it.
I could enhance my expectations by rehearsing my piece a little bit more. Finding that rhythm through my whole piece and not half of it . Showing more emotions with my pieces instead of moving make the audience feel moved.
My competition experience was very different compared to the first competition we went to because people seemed to be more in tune with there pieces this time around. I feel as though everyone wanted to show out and push themselves to the limit.
I didn’t really meet my expectations when I went to the competition. The only round I felt I did the best in was the first round.Cause even though I messed up I still got back on track but the mistake did cause my time to go faster than I expected.
What I would do differently to enhance my future competition experiences is definitely not stay out late the night before a competition.And also not change my piece cause I didn’t think it was good enough. I have to learn how to make the piece my own. Cause like coach said a C piece with an A performance is better than a B piece with a C performance.
My experience was pretty good. I performed in storytelling with, The Sword in The Stone. I placed 1st, and I never thought I could do it. I was scared out of my mind in each room, because I had the same girl go to each round with me. She did her piece based on the Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast. She scared me, because she sung a verse or two perfectly from the movie. In all honesty, I thought that she would've placed me in 2nd place each round. Luckily, my piece was the most entertaining compared to the others I faced.
Compared to my expectations, I did much better than I thought I did. I was just trying to go for fourth place, but that morning I came up with many more ideas to make my piece better. Although, I would've never thought I would manage to go to finals because of it. Let alone, winning. I actually had a panic attack right after finals for the first time in my life. I couldn't believe that I was in finals, and the stress of even being in that room stressed me out. I also messed up and stopped right after, and fixed the word. I said, "...and then a hungry park...PIKE spotted him!" I thought that would throw me in 6th place right then and there.
To improve? I will practice my piece with it's new features over spring break, and have it glued to my brain. I will also work on making everybody having the same accent, despite the fact that it would also take away some humorous aspects from my piece. These improvements should propel me towards the finish line, and help me break. I will worry about the rest later.

You performed well under pressure and you shouldn't doubt yourself.

Yes, I felt that same way about this competition too. I agree with you on reading the rules I know there was a lot of controversy on the rules.
