Term 2 - Concert Attendance - Due Friday December 21st.

Purpose of the assignment:  This task allows you to experience a LIVE music performance, which helps you appreciate the quality of a well-done show.  You will improve your critiquing skills as you listen for specific strengths and weaknesses from the performers.  Learning to critique a group from the audience’s perspective will then help you recognize strengths and weaknesses in your own choir during daily rehearsals.
