 Pros: The choir sounds excellent
Brian is wonderful at accompanying the choir
Dr. Powell is a great conductor and works hard to improve our voices.
Cons: He gets frustrated fairly often
I don't like when he skips half of the warm up (he could use a few more exercises to add variety)
It is often a lot of fun, but gets really awkward when he gets frustrated and yells. There has to be another way to get the point across more constructively.
The grade is attendance. He is incredibly reasonable with this. If too many practices are missed, then he asks to hear you sing before the concert to be sure you know the music. It's a good policy in my opinion.
There are only 4 tiny practice rooms. The music dept. needs some improvements (funding).
