The recent "outburst" of posts have motivated me to post again~~!!! xD

Okay in case you people don't know what's really wrong with your playing, allow me to attempt to summarize everything:

1.SLURSSSS. Technically it's supposed to be 3 notes 1-2-3... 4~~~~~ (something like that, I don't really know how to explain it online :\) but what I hear is 1-3... 4~~~~ So the 2nd note is missing. Unless I'm mistaken, the 3 notes should be rather equally spaced apart.
2. VIBRATO. Everyone should really do it. Or rather, I should say everyone is obliged to do it. (FYI, obliged is just a very nice way of saying you're forced/have to)
3. SWAY. No pun intended with the dialect meaning "unlucky", but you people should sway with the music. For example, like Steven and Eddy. Just playing the notes is not enough, you must have the "feel" of the music. Often, when it comes to the crunch (I'm referring to schools having close scores at SYF), people who have a better "feel" of the music and thus naturally sway a bit do better. Incidentally, if swaying can give you catastrophic results for your playing, I suppose bobbing your head could suffice. IN TIME, obviously.

And of course I'd hope that everyone would come for the sectionals. (I'm supposing it's not compulsory, in the first place)

And go out for lunch together.
