Dear Show Choir Director,

I hope this message finds you well. After carefully reviewing your recent performance, I am excited to share my observations and suggestions to help enhance your choir’s future presentations. My feedback is organized by song titles for clarity, with corresponding timestamps to facilitate easy reference.

Song #1**
- **Tone Quality and Projection:** The solo could benefit from a bit more warmth to match the ensemble’s sound (Timestamp: 00:01:05). Additionally, ensuring that the word “California” is sung as a whole rather than syllabically could improve musicality (Timestamp: 00:01:10).

Song #2**
- **Intonation, Balance, and Blend:** The ensemble’s balance and blend were commendable, creating a lovely wall of sound. However, attention to unison parts, especially on high notes like “sky,” is necessary to avoid overpowering (Timestamp: 00:02:30).
- **Dynamics:** The basses were praised for providing a solid foundation, essential for a pyramid of sound (Timestamp: 00:03:15).

Song #3**
- **Rhythmic Precision:** There were moments where the tempo felt rushed. Maintaining a steady tempo and ensuring clear articulation of lyrics will significantly enhance the performance (Timestamp: 00:04:45).
- **Instrumental Impact:** The instrumental ensemble sometimes overpowered the vocals. A balanced dynamic between the choir and the instrumental ensemble is crucial (Timestamp: 00:05:00).

Song #4**
- **Emotional Connection:** Let the song be tender, connected, and heartfelt. Avoid pushing too hard to allow the song to flow freely and warmly (Timestamp: 00:06:50).

Song #5**
- **Diction:** Ensuring that words are pronounced clearly and conveyed with energy is vital for engaging the audience and communicating the song’s story effectively (Timestamp: 00:08:10).

Song #6**
- **Diction:** Clarity of words in pieces like the closing number was sometimes lost, impacting the clarity of the story being told (Timestamp: 00:09:20).
- **Ensemble Sound:** Ensure the sound remains warm and not overproduced to maintain vocal health and sound quality (Timestamp: 00:10:15).

In summary, focusing on enhancing solo warmth, balancing unison parts, clarifying diction, maintaining rhythmic precision, and managing dynamics will elevate your performances. The character and energy of your show are undeniable, and with these adjustments, I’m confident you will continue to captivate and inspire your audiences.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. I look forward to seeing your choir’s continued growth and success.

Warm regards,

Marty Lindvahl
